B & V Group to appear as Guest Speaker at Conference for Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics and Toiletries Industries

B & V Group’s entry into the life sciences sector has once again grabbed the attention of key players within the Pharmaceutical sector with Richard Sinden, Head of B & V Life Science, being invited to speak at the prestigious Pharmig conference on 26th February.
The conference focuses on contamination control and microbiological risk assessment within the Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics and Toiletries industries. Richard Sinden will be talking about how to understand and effectively manage water systems, with specific focus on the use of biocides to manage water-related microbiological risks.
With headlines constantly reminding us of the potentially fatal consequences of Legionella and Pseudomonas infections, it is essential that employers understand the risks associated with water-borne pathogens and how to control these risks. Richard’s presentation will focus on chemical as well as non-chemical control measures and will provide an insight into how these bacteria multiply to ensure that control measures are implemented most effectively.
