BAMA launches new training units

Written on: May 20, 2025 by SprayTM

The British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association (BAMA) announced the addition of four new interactive training units to its online Training Portal. Following on from its Level 1 training videos, the new modules are designed to help members gain a more thorough understanding of aerosol regulations, transport, labeling and safety.

BAMA has created a platform that encompasses a variety of learning tools and resources, including workbook exercises, interactive videos and diagrams, and downloadable materials. To help consolidate learning, knowledge checker tools and learning logs have also been incorporated.

“Our main aims of Level 2 are to take four critical aspects of aerosol knowledge to a more granular level while at the same time, make learning as accessible as possible,” said Patrick Heskins, Chief Executive of BAMA.

“We are conscious that, not unlike others, our industry is swiftly developing and our members want and need access to structured and comprehensive training that can be completed at their own pace.” 

The Level 2 training units cover:

• Aerosol Dispensers Regulations: From compliance and legal obligations and responsibilities to assessing hazards and pack testing
• Flammability in the Aerosol Factory: Including factory hazards, controlling flammable materials and understanding risk management
• Transport of Aerosol Dispensers: By road, rail, sea and air, which covers dangerous goods regulations, the regulatory framework and packaging aerosols for transportation
• Labeling of Aerosols: The labeling requirements for aerosol containers, understanding different labels and markings, and mandatory vs. voluntary labeling.

Working alongside BAMA on the development of the website, Richard Barry from Forty49 noted, “Perfecting the user experience by ensuring an intuitive flow of information and prompts were at the heart of our ambition for the new units.”

BAMA’s Technical Manager, Peter Watmough, commented, “We wanted to ensure the content was as relevant as possible, which is why the topics covered in the units represent answers to the most popular questions we get asked at BAMA. While the new units are for our members, we also have numerous resources available for non-members on our website and invite them to join our regular and free BAMA Basics webinars.”
