Is Safety in Rotational Moulding Machines Important to You?

The British Plastics Federation, through its BPF Rotational Moulding Group, aims to support the Rotational Moulding Industry, helping it to fulfill its potential.

The BPF believes good Health and Safety practice should be available to everybody not just to its members; we share the passion for rotational moulding and we believe that working together is the way forward to fortify our industry.

As part of the BPF Rotational Moulding Group’s efforts to strengthen the Rotational Moulding Industry here in the UK, the Group is pleased to invite all UK based rotational moulders to take part in discussions to finalise the "Guidance for Rotational Moulding Machines" which is already available (in draft format) for BPF Members. 
 
Following on from the “Safety Notice” issued by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) on 24th July 2014 and relevant to owners, designers and manufacturers of rotational moulding machines, the BPF Rotational Moulding Group decided to collaborate with the HSE to rewrite its draft code of practice in order to bring it up to date.

The second working group meeting will take place on August 20th at the BPF’s offices in London at 10.30 am. 

The BPF is also working in collaboration with the IT-RO, the Italian Rotational MouldersAssociation, and ARM- CE, the German Rotational Moulding Organisation, in an attempt to start working on a CEN standard or possibly progressing to ISO if international involvement calls for it. All interested parties; machines producers ,moulders, trade associations etc are invited to express their interest by contacting the BPF directly.
