About Denehurst & Mark Selby

Denehurst Chemical Safety Ltd is an independent consulting organisation specialising in chemical supply legislation. Denehurst was set up by Mark Selby in 2000 and builds on his experience working in the Chemical Industry and for an international Contract Research Organisation. He maintains links to other professional organisations to broaden the range of services offered.

Denehurst can help with any aspect of chemical supply legislation through offering advice, taking action or providing training. This includes work with new and existing substances, safety data sheet preparation or checking data for compliance. For details of the full range of services offered, please visit the Denehurst website – www.denehurst.co.uk

Mark Selby has worked in the area of regulatory science for over 20 years, starting with a UK-based speciality chemical manufacturer at the time that the EINECS list was closing. This background in industry provided a valuable insight into the problems facing manufacturing organisations with limited resources and tight schedules, but which needed to keep up with legislation.

Work surrounding chemical supply legislation and other regulatory testing led to contact with a multi-national Contract Research Organisation working mainly for the pharmaceutical industry and Mark was employed by them in 1989 to set up a consulting service to cover chemical supply legislation. Work also included providing advice to colleagues to ensure that regulatory testing for chemical supply was performed effectively and that laboratory staff had access to the correct equipment and test guidelines.

Working now as an independent consultant, trading as Denehurst Chemical Safety Ltd, Mark advises industry on the use of data for classification and labelling, the testing of chemical products and submission processes in support of EU chemical supply legislation. This includes a substantial amount of writing and training work, including lecturing for all levels of industry which aims to link the regulatory constraints with practical solutions for producers and users of chemical products.

As well as a trainier for the CHCS (www.chcs.org.uk) and for the ETCIC REACH training at Hull University (www.etcic.com), Mark works with REACHReady (www.reachready.co.uk) as one of their advisors and trainers. Mark has also been involved with the European Commission funded 'Twinning' projects helping new EU Member States.
