Chemical industries are an essential element of manufacturing world wide. The chemical industry produces the raw products that manufacturing rely on, a world without chemicals would be a very different landscape. The chemical and pharmaceutical sector in the UK is an industry worth £60 billion and every day for the past decade the sector has added £20 million to the UK balance of trade. Approximately 600,000 people in the UK depend on the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Workers within the chemical industry are of a high calibre performing high skilled and quality technical operations. It’s simple; future growth depends on us all.

Yorkshire and Humber is home to one of the largest concentrations of chemical related activity in the UK, making up 10% of the UK total. Over 450 chemical companies are located in the region, on over 400 chemical manufacturing sites with a well-developed supply chain of supporting infrastructure. The chemical industry in this region has a diverse range of products to serve a broad spectrum of customers. This includes everything from paper production, plastics and cosmetics to agricultural products. To find out more please visit our website www.ycf.org.uk.
EXPLOSION HAZARD TESTING LIMITED
Virtually all process industries have the potential for fire and explosion in their workplace with the subsequent loss of production and the possibility of injury to personnel and damage to plant this applies to the chemical and auxiliary industries in particular.
We offer:
We all rely on material safety data sheets but most have little or no useful information on the flammable / explosive properties of material we are working with. Of course pure materials are made into mixtures and then how many of us know the true properties of those mixtures.
Wherever possible testing is carried out to the relevant British, European or American standards.
They may become safer or more flammable / explosive than the individual components. Any significant change in formulation can alter the properties. The Explosion Hazards Testing Laboratory was set up to provide reliable up to date data to enable risk assessments to be carried out with confidence and to provide an acceptable basis of safety for the operation of plant and protection of equipment and personnel.

This network aims to support companies of all sizes who share a common goal to implement and conform to the REACH and CLP Regulations.
The GHS is a system for standardising and harmonising the classification and labelling of chemicals including the format of safety data sheets and easily understandable symbols.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is a major piece of regulation which came into force across the EU in 2007; it replaces a number of European Directives and Regulations with a single system.
In other words: There are more hazard categories, different threshold between categories and new hazard pictograms.
A major part of REACH is the requirement for manufacturers or importers of substances to register them, supported by a standard set of data on that substance. Globally Harmonised System (GHS) for classification and labelling of chemicals is being implemented in the EU as the new Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. This will eventually replace the CHIP and ADR Regulations.
REACH and CLP both have global implications and affects the whole of the chemical supply chain in the EU, with a resultant impact on companies’ time and resources. YCF has a well established and sustainable group, developed by sharing experiences, best practice and discussing hot topics and issues around the legislation. Full details about the REACH / CLP Network and dates for the next meetings are available on the YCF website www.ycf.org.uk.
“Involvement with YCF has benefited our organisation as it has given us considerable support to ensure we comply fully with the new REACH regulations. Only a body such as YCF is able to bring together the leading chemicals companies in the region to share their experience.”

In collaboration with some of the world’s brightest innovators we are committed to realising the very best new ideas in health and beauty. In particular we focus on technologies that fit well with our established brands and offer valuable benefits to our customers. A recent new product launch for Boots Pharmaceuticals, the Boots own brand healthcare range, showcases the importance of open innovation for Boots. As one of the UK’s leading brands of insect repellent Repel has helped millions of people protect themselves against insect bites and stings. Yet, as with all our ranges, we are always looking to make further improvements. In March 2010 we launched Boots Pharmaceuticals Repel Natural. It contains Citrepel75®, a natural

and renewable resource derived from plants. This is scientifically proven to provide effective protection from mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, gnats, ticks and sandflies. To achieve the performance expected of any ingredient for Boots Pharmaceuticals, we collaborated with a small and innovative company which had developed a process to extract the most effective levels of the plant’s active ingredient. This gave the supplier access to a wider market and enabled Repel to access a differentiated technology. Since its launch Repel Natural has fast grown in popularity, reflecting the public’s desire for naturally-based products that are truly effective.

There is a bewildering array of formulations and deposition methods available, with the potential to deliver the necessary performance characteristics to a greater or lesser extent.
For example, even for something as straightforward as a structural steel component there are a number of questions to be asked: should it be powder-coated, galvanized or painted? If a paint is selected, should it be epoxy-based, acrylic-based or polyurethane-based, and what else should be included in the formulation to get the best results? Equally important to coating selection are the factors involved in deposition and curing. These can make the difference between a highly durable, high performance coating, and the need to strip and recoat in a very short space of time. These questions are fairly straightforward, but surprisingly difficult to get a simple answer to. Manufacturers and Trade Bodies tend to have a good understanding of their own technology, but are not well placed to compare it with other options available in the marketplace. It can often be difficult to assess the available information, and establish, particularly for more recently developed coating types, exactly what performance can be expected; a critical aspect of design. In response to this need, TWI has recently installed a state-of-the-art facility for coating deposition and characterisation at its Middlesbrough site. This facility is designed to assist industry in the selection of coating materials and deposition processes, and to understand the implications of service conditions on coating lifetime. Capabilities include a wide range of wet film application equipment, together with characterisation of abrasion, adhesion, coefficient of friction, thermal measurement (differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis) and nano-indentation. TWI offers an independent source of advice, with the capability to carry out comparative trials, develop processes and provide understanding of the critical factors in achieving performance. TWI also runs training in paint inspection, to ensure that the best performance is being achieved. www.twi.co.uk

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK With many chemical companies continuing to report huge increases in sales and profits across the majority of industry segments, it seems a long way from the dark days of early 2009 when the chemical industry was beset by bad news on a seemingly daily basis. Whilst uncertainties remain, not least in weak consumer spending in the UK, potential sovereign debt issues in the Eurozone, weak underlying economic data in the US and potential asset price bubbles and rising wage inflation in China, it appears the chemical industry is getting ready for a sustained period of growth. The challenge for chemical companies in the upturn is not to give back the performance gains that sustained them through the downturn, and to embed the improved cost and cash disciplines in the organisational culture for the long term.
Continued innovation aimed at leading the response to global mega trends such as population growth and water shortage; providing sustainable solutions for customers; and developing more efficient energy and raw material use should see the UK chemical industry continue to go from strength to strength. KPMG has a market leading audit presence in the chemicals sector, working with 34 per cent of the Chemical Week Billion Dollar Club companies. Our global Chemicals practice brings together an experienced team that is used to working together on large cross-border assignments and can provide market-leading service in any chemical producing region of the globe. From our sponsorship of the Chemical Week CEO round table series, to our participation in industry events at a local, regional and global level, we are dedicated to playing an active role in supporting the global chemical industry.

INDEPENDENT PROCESS SAFETY SERVICES FROM CHILWORTH GLOBAL Process safety deals with the hazards associated with the storage and processing of hazardous materials that, if inappropriately handled or processed, could cause inter-alia fires, explosions and/or toxic chemical release. Accidents or incidents of these types have the potential for multiple fatalities and injuries both on and off-site, accompanied by major environmental damage. The resulting economic impact, combined with the social impact arising from such an event, can threaten a company’s reputation and commercial viability. Prevention of incidents and mitigating the effects of accidents, can only be achieved if a company has an effective process safety management (PSM) system and the culture to support it. People – at all levels from the CEO to shopfloor workers – are essential components of any approach to process safety, and it is these human factors that have a strong influence on process safety management. The impact of people’s behaviour and communications – whether positive or negative – on the process safety management system is known as the process safety culture. In order to maintain a high standard of process safety management, it is vital that an organisation has a good process safety culture. Based in the UK, the Chilworth Global group of companies is one of the largest specialised process safety organisations in the world, providing independent consulting, training and testing and offering global expertise with a local presence.

The UK’s science industry continues to be world-leading, and as a recognised growth sector, is one which generates billions of pounds every year for the UK economy. The chemical sector is constantly evolving and responding to market forces, and therefore needs to reflect external economic conditions, such as increased costs associated with raw materials and customer demands. If the UK is to continue to set the global agenda, there is a real need to ensure the appropriate workforce is in place to do so. There has been a recent decline in the number of graduates with pure science degrees. This, combined with a lack of practical expertise amongst those entering the industry, has resulted in an estimated 25% skills gap and a need for more training. Another issue is the high attrition rate of science, technology, engineering and maths graduates who choose to pursue a non-STEM career. A recent report from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (Bis) found one of the key reasons for this may be a lack of awareness of the career opportunities available.
44 Yorkshire Chemical Focus Directory
At the other end of the employee scale, however, is the issue of retirement age and the scrapping of the Default Retirement Age (DRA). A report last year from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), highlighted that only 14 per cent of employers believe their organisation is ready to cope with an increasingly older workforce. Nevertheless, the report also highlighted that some 93 per cent of employers see value in retaining the knowledge and experience of older workers. For the chemical industry to be sustainable and meet its growth expectations, a balance of graduate and experienced workers is required.

GRASPING THE NETTLE? - PATENT THICKETS AND THE HARGREAVES REVIEW Patents are a crucial part of the system for protecting innovation in the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. At best they protect the substantial investment required to develop a new chemical entity or use. Critics say that at worst they stifle innovation and growth. Those who highlight “abuses” of the patent system often cite the development of patent “thickets”. This is an emotive term, but essentially means that a field becomes so clogged with patents that competitors looking to develop in a market cannot move for monopoly rights. It is hard to criticise genuine innovators for protecting their hard won successes. Nevertheless, some entities engage in a patents “numbers game”. Here a large number of developments, whether new or inventive or not, become the subject of patent applications. The examiner may reject the applications, but occasionally they will not. Once granted, each patent has a presumption of validity and a competitor would need to work around or invalidate the patents that stand in its way. This takes time, management effort, technical resource and money, even for patents of dubious validity.
the process industries; 2) Patent renewal fees. Hargreaves suggests that application fees do not impact on patenting behaviour. Increasing cost of patent renewals may deter businesses from keeping alive dubious patents but this is not something that the UK could do unilaterally without impacting its relative competitiveness. Differentiating patent renewal fees in favour of SMEs might deter thicketing without injuring startups; 3) Improvement in patent quality by enhancing the performance of patent offices and allowing enhanced post-grant opposition to patents. There is little discussion as to how this could be achieved. Hargreaves’ key focus was on digital technology but there remain significant issues in the area of patent thickets in all technical areas. It is unfortunate that Hargreaves’ brief did not extend further into this thorny issue. Dr Peter Harrison Head of Intellectual Property Hill Dickinson LLP peter.harrison@hilldickinson.com Peter specialises in IP law in the process industries: see www.hilldickinson.com
Professor Ian Hargreaves was asked by government to examine problems in the UK’s IP system. His May 2010 report focuses on copyright and the digital economy, but also takes a short look at patent thickets. Hargreaves sees three approaches: – 1) enhanced use of technology standards, patent pools and cross-licensing. Although appropriate to the digital and telecoms sectors this is far less common in

POLYMER COMPOUNDERS LTD UNDERTAKE SKILLS ACADEMY-LED PAC ANALYSIS During Spring 2010, Durham-based Polymer Compounders Ltd, contacted the National Skills Academy for Process Industries (the Academy) to help introduce measures to increase customer satisfaction, increase production flow, reduce waste and ultimately improve productivity and competitiveness. To identify the most suitable solution the Academy worked with the company to take them through the Academy’s Skills Assurance process. This identified the PAC Analysis programme as the most suitable solution to help Polymer Compounders Ltd meet their company objectives. This was delivered by DLC Training, an Academy Accredited Associate Provider and PAC Analyst. The PAC Analysis programme is the first of its kind in the Process Industries. It is a platform that links together organisational, operational and skills properties to maximise productivity and competitiveness. It is based upon a proven approach, where the core competitiveness is divided into seven clearly defined measures. Kevin Thrower, Academy Account Manager says, “for the PAC Analysis to be successful, it is important that you strike a good working relationship with the organisation involved. Importantly you need to see a level of commitment from the employer.” Kevin continues, “Polymer Compounders Ltd demonstrated this right from the outset, pledging finance and a commitment of time and determination from all employees involved, to see the project through and ensure that the outcomes were fully implemented.”
Compounders Ltd said, “I am delighted with the response from the teams engaged in the NVQ training. Their commitment and enthusiasm has created a healthy competitive spirit during the training sessions, leading to two sanctioned business improvement projects that will enhance our productivity as a manufacturing business. It’s a real winner for Polymer Compounders Ltd and we are committed to moving ahead with more advanced programmes in 2011.” SKILLS ASSURANCE OFFERS A BESPOKE SKILLS SOLUTION FOR EMPLOYERS Skills Assurance is a comprehensive system to assess workforce capability against the independently verified industry Gold Standard. Our Skills Assurance process is one of several workforce development services that have helped companies increase skills, efficiency and productivity. We can also help employers identify and access funding for training. HOW DOES IT WORK? The process begins with a training needs assessment against the industry Gold Standard, where the Academy will identify training requirements of both the individual and the organisation, in four key areas of competence; Technical Competence, Business Improvement, Compliance and Functional and Behavioural. The assessment forms the basis of an objective, personalised and cost-effective development plan which will help you to get the best return from your staff. In the plan recommendations will be made about the most suitably qualified Academy Accredited Providers to deliver the training solutions.
Following the identification of improvement measures, the next step involved placing several employees on the Business Improvement Techniques (BIT) Level 2 course, delivered by DLC Training.
Contact us for a no obligation chat with one of our Account Managers about how we can help with your organisation’s competence journey and how we can help you access funding for training, T: 0845 607 0140 or email enquiries@process.nsacademy.co.uk
