To
keep my skills current I maintain strong networks with hazardous materials
specialists through these associations.
I work as
a Regulatory Affairs and Hazardous Materials Consultant and have edited and
published this newsletter since 1985, initially within the Aerospace Industry,
and more widely since 1991. The newsletter is published 5 times a year.
The
newsletter's approach is to provide a short, succinct note on each hazardous
materials issue, sufficient to allow you to make a decision of whether it is
relevant to you. If you need more information contact details are provided.
This approach will help to meet your obligations to keep
up to date, and to minimise your time, finding and reading the information
being generated across the range of issues you need to be aware of.
Even if
you already keep up to date, the "Hazmat & Environment Notes"
newsletter is an inexpensive and cost effective way to double check for issues
that might have been missed.
If you
decide to subscribe, just fill in the Tax Invoice on the Subscription Form, and
send a copy to me with a credit card authorisation or cheque. Keep a copy for
your own records.
