Course Instructor:
The REA is extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to be working with Matthew Lee an OSHCR registered Consultant. Matthew left HSE 5 years ago after 36 years as an operational inspector. During his time with HSE he inspected, and since leaving HSE, has worked with several waste companies undertaking training, auditing and undertaking accident investigations.  He has also presented at waste conferences. 
 
His practical knowledge within this sector is of particular value to attendees. His insight will provide delegates more than just the bare essentials often provided on other H&S courses. This is a unique opportunity to improve your understanding of the key issues and your responsibility as either an employee or employer.

Booking: 
To book your place, please contact jeremy@r-e-a.net as places are strictly limited to ensure delegates get the most out of the course. Your place will only be secured once payment has been made.
 
Should you have any further questions of clarity, please contact Jeremy direct.
