Safer Chemicals

Every day, patients and workers are exposed to a wide array of chemicals in hospitals and health care facilities.More chemicals are used in health care than in any other sector.Many of these chemicals have been shown to have a lasting negative effect on individual health, public health and the environment.

Immunocore

Based in Abingdon (UK) and Philadelphia (USA) we're a privately owned biotechnology company developing innovative biological therapeutics for the treatment of a range of serious diseases. Our world-leading T cell receptor technology exploits the power of the body’s own immune system to find and kill diseased cells. We've established a robust technology platform which combines monoclonal T cell receptor (mTCR) targeting technology with an effector technology, anti-CD3 scFv, that catalyses the killing of the targeted diseased cells by the host’s own non-specific cytotoxic T cells. And we're developing a portfolio of products from the platform, called ImmTACs, for the treatment of cancer, chronic infectious disease and diabetes.

Working in heat can be hazardous and can cause harm to workers

Infographic | December 18, 2019

You must do everything reasonably practicable to eliminate the risks of working in heat. Where the risk cannot be eliminated, it must be minimised as much as reasonably practicable. Different workers may react differently to heat conditions. 5 Heat is not just a hazard when working outdoors on hot days. Consider the conditions inside your workplace and what hazards may be present.

Hazardous Waste Site Health Assessment Team

Infographic | March 9, 2020

We look into whether hazardous waste sites cause health risks. A hazardous waste site can be any place where chemicals have gotten into the air, water and soil. Former landfills and industrial plants, even areas where crops have been grown, can be hazardous waste sites.

Multi-Functional Linings for Downstream Oil & Gas

Infographic | December 27, 2019

In Hydrocarbon storage there is a high likelihood of water contamination, this water gathers underneath the hydrocarbon cargo and can cause accelerated corrosion of the tank, requiring the lining of the base and 1 meter up the wall. For linings to perform as intended they need to have a chemical and mechanical bond to the substrate, which requires the steel to be clean, reactive and rough, often achieved through abrasive blasting.
