Testimonial: BOC Gases -

To: Stephen Roberts, SRST Ltd.
From: Richard Goodhall, Technical Services Manager, BOC Gases, Guildford, Surrey.
Dear Steve,
CHLORINE – SAFE HANDLING and USE
I would like to wish you every success with your new venture "Stephen Roberts Safety
Training Limited". I have known you now for about 10 years, having dealt with you
principally in connection with the ChlorAid group, which is an association of all the
Chlorine manufacturing and distribution companies in the UK and Ireland.
During this time, I have been impressed with your dedicated work towards safety in the
handling and use of Chlorine.
From my perspective, particular areas where I believe your work associated with ChlorAid
has been most effective include the following:
- Organisation and delivery of the annual ChlorAid Team Leaders' training
course. This has been a most useful and enjoyable course which a number of my colleagues
and I have attended. BOC is likely to continue to send selected members of their emergency
response personnel on this course in future years.
- Writing of the scripts and organisation of the production of the ChlorAid
training videos. These are very professional videos and are highly regarded by Chlorine
users.
- Organisation and co-ordination the biannual ChlorAid Committee meetings and
issue of the meeting minutes. This work has been undertaken with care and diplomacy. These
meetings have enabled the ChlorAid member companies to share the lessons learned from
chlorine incidents and to develop common approaches in equipment design & protocols
for dealing with chlorine emergencies.
- The complete revision and issue of the Millennium edition of the ChlorAid
emergency team Manual. This is an extremely useful and substantial reference manual for
Chlorine emergency response personnel.
Yours sincerely,
Richard J Goodhall.
