Dear Geochemists,

The next session in the Mineralogical Society ‘Skills and Training’ schedule will be 'Asbestos Regulations and Geological Materials'

This is the third in this series of seminars and it will be held on 15th January 2025 @ 2-4 pm (UK time).

The presentation will be by Dr John Faithfull, Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow

The question of regulation around asbestos and geological materials is increasingly being raised by health and safety professionals, and it is an issue for all who work with rocks or minerals in any form, but especially for those involved in breaking, cutting and crushing rock materials in industry, and in analytical and rock sectioning facilities, and in teaching in Universities.

All the best

George
