Applied Environmental Health & Safety, Inc. (AEH&S) announcement that a Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Training: In accordance with OSHA 1910.120, paragraph e, will be conducted in Orlando during the week of 6.14 -6.18.2010.
Message from President, Friday, January 08, 2010
The holidays were GREAT! I hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I did. As we say good-by to 2009 and usher in another year excitement seems to fill the air. The education committee is busy working behind the scenes in preparation for the Spring FIPA courses and workshop. Our Spring 2010 training events will very likely be held in Jacksonville thanks to the folks at JEA. FIPA anticipates that Florida’s Pretreatment Rule will be enforceable by that time. Therefore it is critical that Pretreatment Coordinators attend the Spring workshop. FDEP will be announcing the finalization and acceptance of the long awaited revisions to Rule 62-625 F.A.C.
Facebook is a tremendous resource that FIPA is tapping into. If you have not joined us on facebook please check it out. Facebook is a great way to say connected. For those of you that are shy, and do not want to sign up for facebook you can still view The Florida Industrial Pretreatment Association page. So, the next time you are on the internet mosey on over Facebook and check us out! I look forward to warmer weather and seeing everyone at our spring training events in Jacksonville. Happy New Year!
Thea Parslow,
President
