The Stripsafe Training Course Dichloromethane (DCM) Methylene Chloride Derogation No 455/2009/EC. The Reach Enforcement (Amendment) Regulations 2014 No. 2882.
This course deals with all aspects of the Safe Removal of Coatings, including important considerations such as hazards identification & composition.
The course also looks at aspects including exposure control, personal protection equipment, handling and storage, and also addresses issues such as regulations and legislation.
The course also pays particular attention to the issue of lead-based paint removal, and asbestos in textured coatings, and concludes with a delegate online test provided by the Heath & Safety Executive.
Upon completion the delegate will receive a certificate of competency, with H. S. E. Registration Number.
Managing Safely at £300 is unlike any other safety and health course. Why? Because it delivers practical step-by-step guidance with a sharp business focus that’s hands-on and jargon-free. The innovative format and content is engaging and inspiring – critical to embedding safety and health throughout your entire organisation.
A self motivated individual, objective and able to work under pressure, who works well as part of a team or using own initiative. Can assess situations promptly as well as being a good organiser with the ability to overcome any problems, which may arise, quickly and efficiently.

MSc in SCIENCE (Full-Time Research Project)
MSc Project Title: - Design of a modular control system for a Scanning Force Microscope (SFM) data acquisition system.
MSc Project Background: - Scanning Force Microscopy is currently an active area of research within the School of Physics, which has a particularly interest in the study of magnetic materials and media for high density recording. Scanning probe microscopy is a new technique for investigating the topography and structure of a surface on a scale down to the atomic level. A miniature probe tip attached to a cantilever is scanned across the surface to be examined and a range of force interactions are sensed by measuring the deflection of the sensor; - the height of the tip above the surface is maintained constant by a control system.
MSc Project Description: - This project involved the modelling, design and construction of a set of feedback control modules for the Scanning Force Microscope (SFM). Initially, the feedback loop of the SFM was modelled and a PI control loop designed. This was then implemented in high quality analogue circuitry as a set of modules suitable for a 19" rack system. The modules were then inserted in the existing data acquisition system and performance tested during imaging. A flexible system was achieved which can be altered or added to easily, when necessary, in the future.

I am a qualified teacher (PGCE-FE/HE, UK) with over a decade of experience teaching a diverse range of subjects ranging from English, Maths, Physics, Health and Social Science, and Clinical Medicine. I am a friendly, flexible and student-centric teacher who always strives to deliver bespoke and individualised learning suited best to my students' capabilities and strengths/weaknesses. I am comfortable with online and face-to-face teaching and am always willing to offer additional help in the form of assignments, dissertations, homework and vocational training to my students.
I respect and celebrate diversity, and believe in the principles of Equality and Inclusion in academics, to provide the best learning experience to my students while providing support to help them achieve their short-term academic goals and long-term professional choices.
I routinely conduct mock tests based on the current UK curriculum for school and Further Education sectors and prepare them best for exams and competitive tests.
Overall, my motto is to 'Absorb and Radiate' knowledge for the ultimate benefit of all my learners.
