Technical Discussion Forums

Three online Technical Forums are planned for 2021 on 13 April, 6 July and 12 October. These are open discussion formats which will enable all members to contribute thoughts and knowledge on selected subjects regardless of their background. The forum in 2020 on Risk Based Inspection was of great value to members who shared positive, constructive input on this complex topic.
