Akio Toyoda has got guts
PR Log (Press Release) –
Mar 02, 2010 – MECHTRONIK discusses Rear Dump Truck runaways
The recent Toyota vehicle recall and admission by Toyota president Akio Toyoda who said that Toyota has, for the past few years, been expanding its business rapidly. Quite frankly, I fear the pace of which we have grown may have been too quick," I would like to point out here that Toyota's priority has traditionally been the following: first - safety, second - quality, third - volume. These priorities became confused."
This got me wondering about a problem that has been apparent to me for many years of off road dump truck runaways.
A lot of the dump trucks sold in the world in the last 40 or more years’ run an automatic transmission with hydraulic disk brakes. The problem is they have also fitted a spring applied, hydraulic or air off park brake.
While this park brake system works fine when properly fitted and adjusted there is no failsafe system were this to fail and fail they do with disastrous consequences. There have been thousands of truck runaway incidents around the world and a lot of death and destruction.
This brake relies on constant maintenance to hold the truck when not attended Problems I have personally encountered on new and old units are pad wear out from faulty automatic adjusters and from driving units with the brake applied. Disk mounting bolts shearing off. Calliper actuator seizing from lack of grease. Calliper mounting bolts coming loose.
Mining companies and contractors around the world have been getting around this problem by parking in spoon drains and installing wheel chocks. No one trusts a parked truck.
I think it is time dump truck manufactures have another look at the incident reports that have been flooding in over the years and have the guts like Akio Toyoda and admit there is a problem before someone else gets killed.
MECHTRONIK does not design dump trucks; we check them over before you buy. Yet I can’t help wondering why a parking pawl is not fitted as a failsafe.
A parking pawl is a device fitted to a vehicals automatic transmission in order for it to lock up the transmission. The parking pawl locks the transmission's output shaft to the transmission casing by engaging a pawl (a pin) that engages in a notched wheel on the shaft, stopping it (and thus the driven wheels) from rotating.
Ok maybe the transmission manufactures are not fitting this to their larger transmissions to avoid damadge in case of accidential engagement but that doesn’t mean this well known saftey device should be left out of the truck design completely as there are many other parking pawl systems available to truck manufactures.

Winston-Salem, NC Used Car Dealership Posts 400% Increase
PR Log (Press Release) –
Mar 02, 2010 – Frank Myers Auto Maxx, a North Carolina based used car dealership, has announced a record 400% increase in business during February of 2010 over the same period last year.
At a company wide press conference held today, Tracy Myers (owner of Frank Myers Auto) praised the commitment of his team to being winners in a down market. “My father always told me to surround myself with good people and, if I did, they would push this company to the top. Well, this announcement today is proof that I have truly surrounded myself with the best people in the automotive industry…hand down.”
Myers also talked about being proud of the fact that, when most of the auto industry has been in a downward spiral, Frank Myers Auto continued to grow and be the best at what they do. He also mentioned what he considered the dealerships biggest successes like being named one of the top 30 small businesses in NC, being named one of the top 50 independent car dealerships in the United States and being chosen as one of the best 3 car dealerships to work for in the Nation were at the top for me. Myers also said it was an honor to continue the company that bears the last name of my family.
“Another of our biggest succeses is in our hiring practices...we rarely hire anyone that has sold cars before and never pay our sales pros commission. They get paid a salary plus bonuses for providing an excellent customer experience.” Myers continued by discussing what made Frank Myers Auto different from all of the other dealerships. “All car dealerships sell the some tangible products ... so there's nothing special about the cars. lt's about what you've got to offer OTHER than price; it's about the culture you bring to the table ... lf you're competing soley on price in today's marketplace, you're NOT going to be successful. You've got to offer car shoppers something different, something special and something unique. It's like Uncle Frank always says: If there's no customer experience at your business then your customer will seek their experience elsewhere."
The something different at Frank Myers Auto Maxx is what Myers refers to as "sizzle," things like the free "Starbucks-like" gourmet coffee bar, the free arcade for the kids (or the kids at heart) and the family-friendly movies on the wide screen tv's...complete with free movie popcorn.
About Frank Myers Auto Maxx: The original Frank Myers Store was started more than 83 years ago by Frank Myers, the Great-Grandfather of the current owner Tracy Myers and the Grandfather of the previous owner, Franklin Myers. Tracy has spent the past 15+ years trying to change the landscape of the car business and the bruised reputation of car salespeople all over the country. Tracy was one of the first 100 Certified Master Dealers in the Nation, a NIADA Eagle Award Winner and was the youngest recipient ever to be honored with the highest available distinction in the used car industry...the National Quality Dealer award. Frank Myers Auto Maxx was recently recognized as one of the Top 28 Independent Automotive Retailers in the United States by Auto Dealer Monthly Magazine, one of the Top 10 Internet Auto Retailers in the Nation & one of the Top 3 dealerships to work for in the country by The Dealer Business Journal. Tracy is also the Co-Creator of the world famous "Everybody Rides" program and author of the best selling book "Car Buying Secrets Exposed: The Dirty Little Secrets of a Used Car Dealer", available at Amazon.com and better bookstores. He is a Christian Business Owner whose goal is to run his business "By the Book". http://www.frankmyersauto.com

Truck Hire: Get A Complete Information Before Hiring
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 24, 2010 – A truck rental company should be used for truck hire as it provides major benefits instead of owning a truck on your own and the hassles that come along with it.
Trucks can be rented for few hours or a few days depending on your requirements. Depending on the load you want to be carried, the truck size can be chosen accordingly. Your local truck company will help you in this search for finding the best truck for your needs. Besides, if you feel any inconvenience to drop the truck back to the truck firm, you can also drop it off at one of its other agencies near your destination.
If in any case, you need a truck get to your near travel across town then you can also opt to rent a truck from your regular agency. So it will be right to say that according to your needs and requirements, you can choose an accurate and a desired truck size from your truck rental company. Truck hire is available with various additional insurances. But generally people neglect this thought and consider it as less valuable. This should be avoided as it may lead to future problems like – penalization for any damage that may have been caused due to rough roads or bad weather. It is suggested to go through all the Insurance terms and policies. Hence you should have a complete knowledge about the insurance facilities and more importantly. Always try to get more information about other insurances and their viability from Internet facilities or from any legal firm.
And before signing any rental agreement, make sure you thoroughly inspect the vehicle. It is advisable to make a check for scratches, dents, bumps and anything on the interior or external part of the truck that has been damaged. And be assured that all signs of wear are listed on the inspection sheet. Also, your firm's agent should record the current mileage and amount of gas in the tank. More deeply, you can also have a view to ensure the odometer reading and gas levels are correct. After you've finished your journey to a point, fill up the tank before you return the vehicle. As truck hiring firm usually will definitely charge some amount for gas plus a service fee for filling up the fuel.
So overall, it can be exactly said that truck rentals are very handy and can be used for a variety of purposes.

ACS’s Asia Pacific offices predict strong growth in 2010
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 10, 2010 – In 2009 Air Charter Service’s two offices in the Asia Pacific region – in Hong Kong and Tokyo – said that they had noticed an increase in executive aircraft chartering, specifically in the second half of last year and the beginning of 2010.
Gavin Copus, General Manager of ACS Asia Pacific, said: “Since last summer, numbers of private jet charters booked with us in the region have more than doubled compared to the same period 12 months ago. A lot of new clients have come to us after realising that chartering their own jet is a lot more affordable than they at first thought. Also I think clients in the region have learned from the mistakes made in the U.S. and Europe when it comes to signing up to JetCard and fractional ownership schemes, and are less likely to enter these long term contracts. ”
He added: “To cope with this extra demand, we have significantly strengthened our team in the office in recent months as we believe the market is in an upswing and we will need the extra manpower. Everything we have been reading in the press about the global private jet industry has been doom and gloom as many of those companies which sell fractional or jet card schemes are experiencing losses. However, it must be said that a large number of these companies rely solely on selling these schemes rather than also offering ad-hoc charters. In my opinion their losses seem to be reflecting people’s changing spending habits, rather than the failure of the industry to recover.”
Copus believes that all the signs indicate there will be no slowdown in demand this year: “The market seems to still be as buoyant as at the start of the year, and shows no signs of dropping off, so I can only see further growth in 2010. It’s fair to say I’m optimistic that we have turned the corner of the global economic slowdown, and there is a bright future ahead for aircraft chartering.”

UK drivers spend a whole week on the road EVERY year
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 10, 2010 – A study of typical travel habits of British drivers has found that they drive the most miles out of all the UK’s supposed 9-5ers, racking up nearly 3,000 miles every single month, whilst the research also looked at the number of miles Brits drive, how much they spend on petrol and more.
Leading user-courier matchmaking website www.Boxby.co.uk, which allows users to post delivery jobs for bulky or fragile items which couriers then bid on to transit have looked into the number of miles Brits drive.
The average Brit spends 25 minutes every day driving, which equates to 152 hours, or 6.33 days nonstop driving every single year according to the research, with 64% of people admitting that they’ve slept in their car overnight at some point in the past.
The average person drives 16 miles a day – or 5,840 miles a year – the equivalent of driving from Lands End to John O’Groats seven times.
There are 36,535,724 registered drivers in the UK, meaning that on average, 213 billion miles are travelled on UK roads every year.
At current petrol rates and at 35 miles per gallon, this would mean that the average driver spends £853 on petrol every year.
According to the study, at the rate of 33,600 miles a year, it would take the average courier just 7 years in the job to travel the equivalent distance of Earth to the moon, which is approximately 239,000 miles away at any given time.
The research showed that ‘mobile office’ sales workers, or people who travel to and from business meetings, are second in the list of employees who travel the furthest distance every week, with car-bound professionals clocking up over 100 miles a day on average.
Taxi drivers travel approximately 85 miles a day according to the research by Boxby.co.uk.
Sandra Patterson, co-founder of Boxby.co.uk had the following to say,
“Driving is such a huge part of life that you don’t really think about just how long you spend actually doing it.
“To find that couriers travel such long distances – nearly 6 times as far as the average person is amazing, and testament to how hard they work.”

RV and Motorhome Service in Orange County
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 09, 2010 – With spring around the corner and summer close behind many RV and motor home owners are beginning to plan their annual pilgrimages to destinations far and wide. Of course, no road trip is effectively launched without having the vehicle fully serviced and making any necessary repairs. Only a few fortunate, retired individuals travel in their RVs year round. Most motor homes spend the majority of the year in storage lots, garages or backyards. Even though they appear to only be collecting dust, damage can occur during non-operation, especially if exposed to direct sun or extreme heat. Therefore, finding a service center that will conduct a thorough inspection, identify problem areas and make accurate repairs is crucial.
Making sure that a service center is qualified to inspect and repair your type of motor home or RV is as easy as asking a few questions. Ask how many RVs and motor homes the center services on a regular basis and how many of those are similar to your make and model. If the center mostly services small passenger vehicles and only sees a handful of RVs it’s probably a good idea to consider another option. Next, take a look at their service bays and ask if they can lift vehicles in the same weight class as yours. This will identify if the work is being done on the premises or being conducted at another location. Also ask about their parts and accessories inventory. A fully stocked parts department will indicate that the center specializes in motor home repair and that the work will be done quickly without shipping delays from the manufacturer.
Once you have selected a service center and it's time for that big pre-trip service appointment, make sure that your service package includes fuel filter diagnostics, transmission and brake fluid changes as well as ignition wire inspection. The best RV and motor home service centers will also offer recommended service schedules, such as changing the engine oil and oil filter every 75 operating hours or 12 months. Some centers also offer customer education. Helpful tips such as, run the generator and motor once a month or check the roof for sealant cracking, will help you to best maintain your vehicle and prevent expensive repairs in the future. With the help of an efficient and knowledgeable service team your mobile home-away-from-home can be made ready for the road and many happy memories to follow.

Motorcycle Protesters To Picket Millbank
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 03, 2010 – The No To Bike Parking Tax Campaign is to hold a rally outside the Tory party offices in London to demand answers and action over the activities of their flagship borough, Westminster City Council.
The council’s parking department, under Cllr Danny Chalkley, last week pushed through permanent motorcycle charging in bays across the borough, despite thousands of objections, the largest on-street demonstrations ever seen against the council, and the Judicial Review and Court Case that could now embarrass the party nationally in the run up to the General Election.
The demonstration comes at a time of increasing concern over the council’s parking department, which has become embroiled in battles over the bike ‘tax’, the prospect of charging until midnight for parking, extending yellow line restrictions to midnight, hiking residents’ charges above inflation, incorrectly marking dropped kerbs (leading to tickets issued incorrectly), the fiasco of the CCTV system being unfit for purpose, legal battles over copyright infringements against EDF Energy, unauthorised diplomatic bays leading to illegal tickets, allegations of breaching of EU and local government regulations regarding the tendering and issuing of contracts, and dozens of complaints over FOI requests and emails left unanswered.
The Cabinet Member Report of October 2009 stated:
‘Pursuant to Regulation 6 of the Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 … the Council consulted the Road Haulage Association, the Freight Transport Association, the British Motorcyclists' Federation, the Metropolitan Police Service, the London Fire Brigade and the Owner Drivers' Society, as well as all ward councillors and a large number
of residents' and community associations. There were no objections from those consulted.’
This was despite the thousands of objections received by bikers before October 2009, and a confirmation from the BMF that no such consultation took place. Chris Hodder, of the BMF, said:
“At no point were we consulted on the permanent scheme, and if we had been, we would have said ‘no’, ‘no’, and ‘no’ again, so to claim that there were no objections, or that we were consulted, is a whitewash of the highest order.’
It also emerged today that Westminster was cutting the number of motorbike bays, despite having claimed – as one of many excuses - that the charge would increase the number of spaces - and security. (http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/59321/notices/103 ...)
In addition, spaces in Council run car parks have been passed over to private companies, in at least two cases, where those spaces are likely to no longer remain free, despite this being a central plank of Cllr Chalkley’s attempts to appease the wave of anger at the scheme. (http://nutsville.com/?p=1015)
Warren Djanogly, Chairman of the Campaign, said:
“Frankly, these councillors make a mockery of the party they claim to represent. They have introduced exactly the kind of stealth tax Eric Pickles claimed Councillors would be sacked for, and yet the party as a whole sits there and does nothing about it. Perhaps they will take more interest when they find their flagship borough in the dock defending charges of material breaches of EU and Local Government Law?’
Cllr Chalkley recently tried to defend allegations of revenue raising (The High Court established that using parking charges to raise revenue is illegal in a judgement made in 1995) after the uproar over the plans to extend charging until midnight, an attempt that many say brings the Council into disrepute.
Charlie Lort-Phillips, from the Campaign, said:
“Everybody who heard and read his words knew exactly what these charges are about – money, money and more money – but he just cannot come out and say it! The fact he still tries to claim that charging a motorcycle to park in a communal bay with no security, or a car driver to park at 11.30 on a Tuesday night is about ‘demand management’ is frankly a shameful and embarrassing example of the depths to which he will go to try and get away with what is revenue raising, pure, simple, and to everyone on the street, blindingly obvious.’
Cllr Chalkley also claimed that kerbside space was ‘at a premium’ to justify charging motorcycles, while at the same time allocating 400 spaces to a car club citing ‘under-used old style meter bays’.
Warren Djanogly added:
"This is not a campaign against the Conservative Party - we are not telling people not to vote Tory - what we need is answers from the Conservatives to the serious questions regarding the conduct and policies of their 'local boys', something they have manifestly failed to do until now."
The rally will be at Conservative Party HQ, 30 Millbank, London, SW1P 4DP, at 1330.

2) Westminster City Council’s scheme involves a parking charge of £1 a day for every motorbike or scooter. To buy an annual parking pass now costs a minimum of £100.Since its introduction in August 2008, the parking tax has raised over £4million.
3) In the Conservative Party’s key document on economic policy, “Reconstruction: Plan for a Strong Economy”, published at the Conservative Party Conference in September 2008 and signed by David Cameron and George Osborne, the first pledge in the Conservative agenda for Tax Reform is “an end to stealth taxes.” This document can be read here: http://www.conservatives.com/~/media/Files/Downloadable%20Files/Reconstruction_-_Plan_for_a_strong_economy.ashx?dl=true
4) In a letter in March to a supporter of the campaign, Robert Goodwill, Conservative MP for Scarborough and Whitby and Shadow Transport Minister for Roads, said ““Please note that this is not a policy set by the Conservative Party nationally but a local policy decided by Westminster councillors. I hope that this will not be replicated widely".
5) In response to question 446/2009, Mayor Boris Johnson said about the parking tax: “I am keen to encourage the use of motorcycles in London, as evidenced by my recent announcement to allow motorcycles in bus lanes on the TLRN. I will ask TfL to discuss with Westminster as to whether the introduction of this payment has led to a reduction in the number of people using motorcycles in central London.”
The council’s parking department, under Cllr Danny Chalkley, last week pushed through permanent motorcycle charging in bays across the borough, despite thousands of objections, the largest on-street demonstrations ever seen against the council, and the Judicial Review and Court Case that could now embarrass the party nationally in the run up to the General Election.

It also emerged today that Westminster was cutting the number of motorbike bays, despite having claimed – as one of many excuses - that the charge would increase the number of spaces - and security. (http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/59321/notices/103 ...)
In addition, spaces in Council run car parks have been passed over to private companies, in at least two cases, where those spaces are likely to no longer remain free, despite this being a central plank of Cllr Chalkley’s attempts to appease the wave of anger at the scheme. (http://nutsville.com/?p=1015)
Warren Djanogly, Chairman of the Campaign, said:
“Frankly, these councillors make a mockery of the party they claim to represent. They have introduced exactly the kind of stealth tax Eric Pickles claimed Councillors would be sacked for, and yet the party as a whole sits there and does nothing about it. Perhaps they will take more interest when they find their flagship borough in the dock defending charges of material breaches of EU and Local Government Law?’
Cllr Chalkley recently tried to defend allegations of revenue raising (The High Court established that using parking charges to raise revenue is illegal in a judgement made in 1995) after the uproar over the plans to extend charging until midnight, an attempt that many say brings the Council into disrepute.
Charlie Lort-Phillips, from the Campaign, said:
“Everybody who heard and read his words knew exactly what these charges are about – money, money and more money – but he just cannot come out and say it! The fact he still tries to claim that charging a motorcycle to park in a communal bay with no security, or a car driver to park at 11.30 on a Tuesday night is about ‘demand management’ is frankly a shameful and embarrassing example of the depths to which he will go to try and get away with what is revenue raising, pure, simple, and to everyone on the street, blindingly obvious.’
Cllr Chalkley also claimed that kerbside space was ‘at a premium’ to justify charging motorcycles, while at the same time allocating 400 spaces to a car club citing ‘under-used old style meter bays’.
Warren Djanogly added:
"This is not a campaign against the Conservative Party - we are not telling people not to vote Tory - what we need is answers from the Conservatives to the serious questions regarding the conduct and policies of their 'local boys', something they have manifestly failed to do until now."
The rally will be at Conservative Party HQ, 30 Millbank, London, SW1P 4DP, at 1330.

2) Westminster City Council’s scheme involves a parking charge of £1 a day for every motorbike or scooter. To buy an annual parking pass now costs a minimum of £100.Since its introduction in August 2008, the parking tax has raised over £4million.
3) In the Conservative Party’s key document on economic policy, “Reconstruction: Plan for a Strong Economy”, published at the Conservative Party Conference in September 2008 and signed by David Cameron and George Osborne, the first pledge in the Conservative agenda for Tax Reform is “an end to stealth taxes.” This document can be read here: http://www.conservatives.com/~/media/Files/Downloadable%20Files/Reconstruction_-_Plan_for_a_strong_economy.ashx?dl=true
4) In a letter in March to a supporter of the campaign, Robert Goodwill, Conservative MP for Scarborough and Whitby and Shadow Transport Minister for Roads, said ““Please note that this is not a policy set by the Conservative Party nationally but a local policy decided by Westminster councillors. I hope that this will not be replicated widely".
5) In response to question 446/2009, Mayor Boris Johnson said about the parking tax: “I am keen to encourage the use of motorcycles in London, as evidenced by my recent announcement to allow motorcycles in bus lanes on the TLRN. I will ask TfL to discuss with Westminster as to whether the introduction of this payment has led to a reduction in the number of people using motorcycles in central London.”

Moving Interstate Is Often A Big Decision Followed By A Lot Of Work.
PR Log (Press Release) –
Jan 10, 2010 – Moving interstate is often a big decision followed by a lot of work. Organising to move all your worldly possessions is a daunting thing to face which is why it is important to hire removalists that are professional and whom you can trust. With such a big task in front of you where do you begin when moving interstate? Below we have compiled a checklist that will help you organise your interstate move.
Its six weeks until you move. At this stage you should start a filing system for all your moving documentation. This is also a good time to book your flights (if required) and your removalists. If you want a good removalists then book early before they’re booked out. Speak to your removalist about moving interstate as they may have some packing tips for you. Start to plan your packing. Are you going to do it yourself? Or are you going to get a professional packer to come in and do it all for you?
http://davidjonesremovals.com.au
Start compiling an inventory list of all your belongings. Do you need all of it? Decide on what you are keeping, what you are throwing away and what you can give away or sell. Don’t forget your furry friends. Most removalists will not take animals so be sure to make alternative arrangements. If you are moving interstate make sure you find out the legalities involved in crossing borders with animals.
This is also the time to start changing addresses and getting documentation together or transferred. Car registration, car license, car insurance, Medicare, private health funds, doctors, dentists, associations, clubs, employers, accountant, lawyer, broker, financial planner, fund manager, superannuation manager, financial institutions, Australian Taxation Officer, electoral rolls, social security, schools and more all need to be contacted to arrange cancellation or redirection before moving interstate.
http://davidjonesremovals.com.au
Also, start eating frozen food so that it doesn’t go to waste.
Two weeks before your interstate move you should start to do some packing, if you are packing yourself. Organise cartons and packing material and make sure you label every box and give them room identification. This will help you and your removalists. Also contact your removalist to arrange pick up and delivery, if not already done.
Get your car serviced if you are driving interstate. Begin dismantling your furniture. Arrange telephone, internet, electricity, gas and anything else you need for your new home. And lastly return any borrowed items like library books, DVD’s, neighbours belongings etc.
Its one week to the move interstate and you’re sure to be feeling frantic. Confirm cut off dates for your electricity, gas and phone companies. Cancel newspaper, milk, magazine deliveries. Confirm your pets travel arrangements, and your own if you are traveling by plane, train or bus. Drain any fuel left in your lawn mower and empty any gas cylinders/bottles as a safety precaution. Also, remove batteries from any devices that have them. Make a list of things you need and need to do on moving day so you’re organised.
In the last few days leading up to your interstate move finalise your rental agreement (if renting) with your real estate agent. Make sure you have all the necessary keys for your old home and your new home. Confirm with your removalists the time and date and make sure they know that boxes have been labeled with their corresponding room. Defrost the fridge. Do your last loads of laundry. Collect dry cleaning. Pack items that you will need immediately in your new home.
Moving day is often crazy but, stay calm by following your list and getting family and friends to help by giving them specific tasks or instructions. Pack a survival kit with things you will need for your trip. Vacuum rooms as their emptied. Collect all house keys. Make sure everything has been disconnected. Check every room and the yard for any items that may have been left behind. Leave a forwarding address and phone number. Finalise payment with your removalists. And lock the house. You are now ready to leave.
Moving interstate is a big process. It is important that you hire a removalist who is familiar with the process and will take as much care of your belongings as you would. David Jones Removals are the removalists to call if you are looking for professional, knowledgeable removalists. They are experience in local and interstate moving and can also offer you a packing service and storage facilities. Give them a call to have a chat about moving interstate and how they can help you.

GHS Notice of Proposed Rulemaking By US Department of Labor
PR Log (Press Release) –
Jan 03, 2010 – The First Step – US Department of Labor Issues GHS Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
On September 30, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the Department of Labor published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that starts the long process of introducing the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) into North America.
This Notice (Docket No. OSHA-H022K-2006-0062) proposes to modify OSHA's current Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform with the system for classification, labeling and safety data sheets proposed by the United Nations. The Globally Harmonized System, found in the UN's Purple Book, is an attempt to standardize hazard communication for workplace and consumer products on a worldwide basis. This will both improve enhance trade by removing significant variations in international standards, as well as improve hazard communication in parts of the world where few regulations currently exist.
OSHA plans, using this docket, to significantly amend its system of identifying hazardous workplace materials found in 29 CFR 1910.1200. The new system will include:
•Revised classification criteria for determining hazards,
•A new labeling system, that will include standardized signal words, pictograms to depict hazards, and prescribed hazard and precautionary statements,
•A revised and more specific format for material safety data sheets (to be called simply safety data sheets in the new system), and
•Modification of other safety standards, such as those for specific substances, to ensure consistency with the GHS standard.
Revising such a large document as the HCS will take a lot of work on the behalf of industry as well as government. OSHA is currently allowing ninety days for public comment from concerned parties, before starting the process leading to an eventual Final Rulemaking that will create the new system. Companies affected by the HCS need to provide as much input as possible, since there will likely be considerable fine-tuning required to make this system successful. Comments may be made to Docket No. OSHA-H022K-2006-0062 at http://www.regulations.gov.
How will this affect Canada and Mexico? Of course, as the US is the largest part of the North American trading zone, there will be considerable pressure on those governments to change their own hazard communication standards accordingly. Health Canada is currently looking at amending the WHMIS system and the Hazardous Products Act to conform to GHS, although there has been no date set yet for when these amendments will be seen. Mexico is currently also developing a GHS modification to their own chemical hazard communication laws.
To download a copy of these proposed amendments from the Federal Register, go to http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-22483.pdf. ICC will be following the progress of GHS closely – please contact us if you have questions, or would like to know how ICC The Compliance Center can help you implement GHS in your organization.
