In November, in the snow and cold, we were thrilled to host our CATCH Humber Engineering Managers Forum at INEOS on Saltend Chemical Park.

Over 50 attendees, both in-person and online were welcomed by Rob Smith, Group Chair and Asset Support Manager at INEOS Acetyls, all of whom were looking forward to hearing from guest speaker Farayi Manyika, Mechanical Team Lead, Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Farayi delivered an insightful presentation surrounding topics such as:

• Informed Clients and Competent Persons
• Use of Competent Contractors to Manage Mechanical Integrity – EEMUA231
• Definition, Identification, Registration and Integrity Management of Safety Critical Equipment
• Mechanical Ignition Risk Assessments to BS EN ISO 80079-36 and pro-active measures to meet DSEAR Requirements
• Managements of dead-legs

It was a pleasure to welcome Health and Safety Executive to the forum, having worked for over 2 years to get a session surrounding regulations and procedure from the HSE in the Humber Region.

The next meeting of the CATCH Humber Engineering Managers Forum will be held on Thursday 23rd April 2026, and is open to Engineering Managers and Experts from both our Core and Supply Chain Members.
