Winning Product Safety Culture for Packaging and Logistics Companies
Join our live webinar to learn about product safety culture for packaging and logistics companies.
Since the introduction of food safety culture into the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked schemes, it has become a requirement to also commit to product safety culture for food packaging manufacturers, logistics and storage providers.
For these sections of the food supply chain, it has been adapted to become product safety culture, but the overall requirements from the GFSI are the same as food manufacturers. This includes activities of communication, training, feedback from employees and performance measurement on product safety activities.
SGS has launched its Realize program; winning product safety culture assessment to provide a measurement of product safety culture on a site and provide actionable intelligence that can be used to continuously improve culture.
Objectives
To understand the requirements for product safety culture for packaging and logistics companies
Understand SGS Realize; how a winning product safety culture can provide a measurement of culture and identify areas for improvement

Restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) requirements have their roots in the European Union (EU) from 2003. The goal of the RoHS is to reduce the environmental effects and health impact of electronics. The legislation's primary purpose is to make electronics manufacturing safer at every stage of a device's life cycle. Based on the EU’s RoHS, many countries have now implemented their own version of the RoHS as well, adding complexity for manufacturers.
Webinar Agenda
The one hour webinar will cover:
Background introduction
EU RoHS

Exploration expenditure has significantly increased since 2010, shifting to deeper domains readily available discoveries are progressively exhausted. In the same period, the industry discovery rate has decreased by more than 50 percent, putting forward the question “are we using a fully optimized targeting process?” In 2016, SGS Geological Services team lead by Guy Desharnais, won the Integra Goldrush Challenge using an innovative combination of mineralized vector load in block
model, filtering it through machine learning algorithms to produce the next generation of exploration targets. This challenge opens the mind of many explorer about the use of new technologies and how to use them efficiently on any type of deposits.
For the past decade various types of algorithms, including decision trees and stumps boosting enhanced with domain adaptation, were adapted by the mining industry and used on different global projects for targeting purposes. Phylogenetic algorithms were also integrated into the toolbox to answer questions related to geological uncertainties and rock classification using geochemical dataset. Application are multiple in the mining industry from exploration targeting to block model ore to processing reconciliation. This presentation will focus on exploration targeting with three successful case studies for Gold, PGE and in the Oil and Gas industry, using different algorithms and softwares. Limits of the technique and challenges for the future will also be part of the discussion.

Given the extraordinary situation caused by the spread of COVID-19, the Gold conference will be postponed to 2022. This decision, we believe, will help the organization maximize the likelihood of a presential event. We are looking forward to receiving in Québec City the international community of scientists related to innovations with gold.
The conference will take place at the Convention Centre located in a prime area of Québec City, Canada, surrounded by world‐class hotels and tourist attractions. The historic district of Old Québec, designated a world heritage treasure by UNESCO in 1985, is the only fortified city north of Mexico. Québec City is also renowned for its famous joie de vivre, and lively streets with numerous activities.
GOLD 2022 will be the 9th edition of the International conference series, following GOLD 2018 in Paris. As a material, gold has experienced a renewed interest from the scientific community during these last decades. It started with the field of catalysis by gold nanoparticles, and it is now expanding to booming scientific areas such as homogeneous catalysis, plasmonics, materials sciences, biotechnology, nanotechnology and therapeutic applications. The science of gold has thus become a highly multidisciplinary field.
To keep the scientific community informed and aware of the latest advances in the field of gold for high-technology applications, the Gold 2022 committee will launch a series of Webinars on each one of the main scientific topics of the conference (see below). We invite the community to keep an eye on the website and to become acquainted with the main scientific topics and categories of the conference. In the next weeks the Gold 2022 committee will reach out to the scientific community and proceed to a series of invitations to prominent researchers in each field. We believe this approach will develop interest in the community, while helping the conference organization to structure the scientific event in the most optimal and dynamic manner.

Maintaining True Seismic Amplitudes from Sensor to Image Workshop
Park City, Utah, USA
Workshop Description
For seismic applications beyond the most basic structural imaging, data with both amplitude and phase fidelity are required. Achieving amplitude fidelity is particularly difficult in geological settings with complex overburdens and poor subsurface illumination, for example around salt bodies.
This workshop will examine the impact of acquisition, noise mitigation and imaging methods on amplitude fidelity. In addition, it will explore the successes and failures of seismic applications that rely on amplitude fidelity, for example as in the case of reservoir characterization.

Given the extraordinary situation caused by the spread of COVID-19, the Gold conference will be postponed to 2022. This decision, we believe, will help the organization maximize the likelihood of a presential event. We are looking forward to receiving in Québec City the international community of scientists related to innovations with gold.
The conference will take place at the Convention Centre located in a prime area of Québec City, Canada, surrounded by world‐class hotels and tourist attractions. The historic district of Old Québec, designated a world heritage treasure by UNESCO in 1985, is the only fortified city north of Mexico. Québec City is also renowned for its famous joie de vivre, and lively streets with numerous activities.
GOLD 2022 will be the 9th edition of the International conference series, following GOLD 2018 in Paris. As a material, gold has experienced a renewed interest from the scientific community during these last decades. It started with the field of catalysis by gold nanoparticles, and it is now expanding to booming scientific areas such as homogeneous catalysis, plasmonics, materials sciences, biotechnology, nanotechnology and therapeutic applications. The science of gold has thus become a highly multidisciplinary field.
To keep the scientific community informed and aware of the latest advances in the field of gold for high-technology applications, the Gold 2022 committee will launch a series of Webinars on each one of the main scientific topics of the conference (see below). We invite the community to keep an eye on the website and to become acquainted with the main scientific topics and categories of the conference. In the next weeks the Gold 2022 committee will reach out to the scientific community and proceed to a series of invitations to prominent researchers in each field. We believe this approach will develop interest in the community, while helping the conference organization to structure the scientific event in the most optimal and dynamic manner.
