SUMMARY:ADBA Training | Competency Management System with Angela Cronje | Wednesday 11 November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, tickets are non-refundable. \nOverview\nThe training day will cover basis of the EU Skills Competence Management System (CMS) (https://euskills.co.uk/schemes/competence-management-system/)\, benefits to the operator and the regulator\, how the system works\, setting up the Competence Management System and example training framework. \nQualifications required by waste activity managers\nHolders of an environmental permit for a waste operation\, or certain installations\, need to demonstrate technical competence for their waste activity.  As such they need to join and comply with the requirements of one of these UK government approved schemes: \n\nthe scheme run jointly by the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and Waste Management Industry Training and Advisory Board (WAMITAB) – an individual qualification\, or\nthe scheme run jointly by Energy & Utility sector Skills Council (EU Skills) and the Environmental Services Association (ESA) – certified competence of the company as a whole.\n\nThe EU Skills CMS is based on the principles a Management System\, similar to ISO14001\, ISO9001 etc. It is audited and certificated by UKAS accredited certification bodies. \nThe CMS is approved in England by the Department for Environment\, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Environment Agency\, in Wales by the Welsh Government and Natural Resources Wales\, in Northern Ireland by Department of Agriculture\, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and in Scotland by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). \nBenefits of the CMS approach are (but not limited to): \n\nEnhances environmental permit compliance – Assures compliance with the technical competence requirements of the Operator’s permit.\nIncreases Awareness – All staff involved in the operation have the skills and training required by the permit\, and this extends to contractors and visitors.\nCustom-built system – It is unique to the operation where training is tailored to operation making it site specific rather than the generic training required by WAMITAB.\nMaintains compliance continuity – No gaps in the technical competence cover for sickness\, holidays or unplanned absences\nFlexible – Suitable for any size of company and any permitted waste activity

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Health and Safety Awareness in AD with Amaya Arias Garcia | Thursday 26 November 2026 | Full day
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis one-day online training provides a practical introduction to health and safety in anaerobic digestion and biogas projects for a global audience. It focuses on understanding where hazards can arise across the project lifecycle and how risks can be reduced through good design\, structured risk thinking\, and effective operational practices.  \nThe course avoids country-specific legislation and instead emphasises universal safety principles\, engineering logic\, and practical decision-making. Participants are introduced to risk-thinking tools ranging from simple “what if?” approaches to formal methodologies such as HAZOP\, illustrated with real-world examples from biogas projects in different contexts.  \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be better equipped to recognise hazards\, think systematically about risk\, and support safer design\, construction\, commissioning\, and operation of biogas facilities.  \n09:00 – 09:20\nWelcome\, objectives and course structure (20 min)\nFocus \n\nWelcome and introductions\nPurpose and scope of the training\nWhat the course covers – and what it does not (not a legal compliance course)\nHow to participate\, ask questions and use the day effectively\n\n09:20 – 10:20 (60 min)\nLecture 1 | Understanding Hazards in Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Systems \nFocus\nBuilding awareness of where hazards exist in anaerobic digestion and biogas systems\, and why understanding them is essential for safe projects and operations.  \nCore topics  \n\nWhat anaerobic digestion involves in practice (process reality vs theory) \n\n\nTypical hazards present in AD and biogas facilities\n\n\nBiogas composition (methane\, carbon dioxide\, hydrogen sulphide) \n\n\nToxicity and asphyxiation risks \n\n\nExplosive atmospheres \n\n\nConfined spaces \n\n\nBiological hazards (animal by-products\, pathogens) \n\n\nMechanical and moving equipment \n\n\nWhy incidents occur when hazards are misunderstood or underestimated \n\n\nDifference between a hazardous situation and unsafe operation \n\nLearning outcome\nParticipants are able to identify common hazards in AD and biogas systems and understand why structured safety management is necessary\, without viewing the industry itself as inherently unsafe.  \n\n10:20 – 10:35 – Q&A + coffee break (15 min) \n10:35 – 11:35 (60 min)\nLecture 2 | Designing Safety In: Eliminating Risks Before the Plant Is Built \nFocus\nUnderstanding how design decisions have the greatest influence on health and safety outcomes throughout the life of a biogas project.  \nCore topics  \n\nSafety by design and inherent safety principles \n\n\nSite selection and external risks (flooding\, access\, neighbours\, climate) \n\n\nLayout and zoning: \n\n\nSeparation of people and vehicles \n\n\nHazardous vs operational vs administrative areas \n\n\nProcess safety fundamentals\n\n\nPressure management and layered safeguards \n\n\nVentilation and gas dispersion \n\n\nExplosive atmospheres (ATEX) as a design consideration\, not paperwork \n\n\nDesigning out work at height and confined space entry \n\nLearning outcome\nParticipants understand how early design choices can eliminate or significantly reduce risks\, making later operational safety easier and more robust.  \n11:35 – 11:50 – Coffee break (15 min) \n11:50 – 12:50 (60 min)\nLecture 3 | Thinking About Risk: From “What If?” to HAZOP \nFocus\nIntroducing practical risk-thinking tools used in biogas projects\, from simple approaches to more formal methodologies.  \nCore topics  \n\nHazard vs risk vs control (clear\, practical definitions) \n\n\nLikelihood and consequence \n\n\nHierarchy of controls and ALARP principle \n\n\nInformal tools: \n\n\n“What if?” analysis \n\n\nTask-based risk assessment \n\n\nFormal tools\n\n\nHAZID \n\n\nHAZOP – purpose\, structure\, and limitations \n\n\nTypical inputs (PFDs\, P&IDs\, layouts) \n\n\nCommon misunderstandings about HAZOP \n\nLearning outcome\nParticipants can understand and apply appropriate levels of risk assessment\, recognising when simple tools are sufficient and when formal studies are needed.  \n12:50 – 13:50 – Lunch break (60 min) \n13:50 – 14:50 (60 min)\nLecture 4 | Construction and Commissioning: Managing Risk During Change \nFocus\nExploring why construction and commissioning phases require particular attention to health and safety.

configurations \n\n\nTesting under abnormal conditions \n\nLearning outcome\nParticipants understand why accidents often occur during construction and commissioning and how structured planning and coordination reduce those risks.  \n  \n14:50 – 15:05 – Coffee break (15 min) \n15:05 – 16:05 (60 min)\n Lecture 5 | Operating Safely: People\, Procedures and Emergency Response \nFocus\nTranslating
