Engineers and technicians must be trained
Leading UK engineering and technology firms, with a combined multi-million pound spend on training and development, will assemble at the IEE 'Investing in Technical Teams' forum on 4 November 2004.
The text of both Directives is included in the guide.
GAMBICA has been closely involved with the development of the guide and is now working on a number of guidelines to assist with industry's interpretation.
The WEEE Directive specifically covers monitoring and control instruments used in industrial installations and some laboratory equipment and will directly impact GAMBICA members.
As a result, the association has appointed a specialist advisor in waste management to work with members on interpretation of the new requirements and to assist it in advising the DTI on issues on scope.
Copies of the ORGALIME guide are available from GAMBICA for GBP 35 including postage for nonmember companies.
