Free Online Hazmat Webinar – Tuesday!

April 13, 2020 by Leave a comment

Hazmat shippers need to be specially certified; but everyone needs to be able to identify it to make sure it is referred to the correctly-certified shippers – this includes personnel who handle parts and it includes sales personnel who need to know when hazmat may require special handling in order to reach the customer.

I will be teaching an online webinar tomorrow entitled “Hazmat Identification.”  This class will explain how to recognize hazmat, review the nine classes of hazmat, and clarify what sort of aircraft parts are commonly found in each of the nine classes. This class is useful for nearly everyone in the typical aviation parts business.

  • DATE: April 14, 2020
  • TIME: 11:00 am EDT
  • COST: Free
  • REGISTER: Click here. Logging-in is optional and you can register for the class without logging-in (click “Continue Without Login”)

The class is offered as part of the trade associations’ commitment to providing useful training during the Covid-19 crisis. We are scheduled to offer two free webinars per week through the end of May, 2020.

Need more training?  We will be offering a 2-day online hazmat shipping certification class on May 6-7, 2020.  Successful completion of this class results in certification as a hazmat shipper pursuant to both domestic and international law.  You can find out more on our hazmat training page.

Commerce Department to Hold Webinar on REACH (European Environmental Regulations) and US Aerospace

November 9, 2012 by Leave a comment

The U.S. Commerce Department will hold a webinar on November 29 to discuss the effect of European Evironmental Regulations on U.S. Aerospace companies.

The European Union has a regulation called the REACH regulation. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & restriction of Chemicals.

REACH imposes certain obligations on companies that manufacture certain chemicals in Europe, and on companies that import certain chemicals into Europe. Under REACH, the continued marketing of substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) requires an authorization. Businesses active in the aerospace marketplace use a number of substances that are being considered for SVHC classification, and unauthorized import into Europe of such substances could violate REACH.

ASA members who export to Europe could find themselves affected by the new policies under REACH.

For more information, see the notice on the Commerce Department website.
