Raise Your Finishing Operations Safety Standards
Fires, explosions, and injuries DO happen. Be prepared and don’t let them happen to you! One of the most important seminars ever offered to the finishing industry is scheduled for April 4 & 5 in Elgin, IL. The Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI) is offering a comprehensive Industrial Finishing Safety Seminar at the Fabricators and Manufacturer’s Association (FMA) headquarters. CCAI and FMA are partners in FABTECH shows across North America.
Developed by industry experts well-versed in safety for finishing operations, the seminar focuses on NFPA 33, the Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials. Attendees will learn critical information to safely operate an industrial finishing line.
Attendee remarks after that inaugural event in April 2022:
- A lot of information that I was unfamiliar with but presented in an easily digestible way. Excellent presenters and a great event facility. Great job on the training, thank you!
- Overall good material, able to follow the speakers well. I would recommend to a co-worker and others to go to a seminar in the future.
- Having all the presentation materials in a single segmented binder is so helpful! Especially for someone who is bad at taking notes, like me! Facility was great as was the hospitality. Thank you, all!
