Corporate membership

ACT membership is by election after submission of an application and supporting documentation. There are three types of individual membership full, associate, and student. Full membership is for qualified individuals who have conducted and published original research in toxicology. Associate membership is for individuals with critical interests in toxicology who have not reached full membership status. Student membership is for qualified predoc-toral students. Honorary membership and Fellow status are also awarded periodically. Corporate membership is available for corporations, associations, and other organizations that support the activities of the College. 

The process, in general, and the collection of up-to-date pertinent information, in particular, requires the expenditure of certain resources and the active participation of designated hospital staff in networks providing technology assessment information. For example, corporate membership in organizations and societies that provide such information needs to be considered, as well as subscriptions to certain computerized database and printed sources [14]. 

The qualifications required will vary with the size and complexity of the organization and its products. For an SME, the NEBOSH General Certificate may be adequate while for a major industry a Registered Safety Practitioner (RSP) or full corporate membership of lOSH may be required.)... 

One of the requirements for corporate membership of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health is to have demonstrate an appropriate level of academic knowledge of safety and related subjects. 

In 1978, the Institution drew up a syllabus outlining a range of subjects to be studied and Indicating the depth of knowledge required in each to qualify for membership. This syllabus was designed to accommodate a two tier corporate membership structure and was administered by the Institution. However it was felt that it would be more appropriate for an independent body with closer academic links to take over this aspect of the Institution s activities and in 1979 the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) was established for that purpose,... 

In 1988, to reflect the new single level of corporate membership of the Institution, a revised syllabus was introduced for a National Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health. At the same time a less extensive syllabus for a National Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health was produced for the non-corporate grade of Associate. 

Since the last edition, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health has changed its corporate membership structure to a single level, thus eliminating the separate levels of examination and the need for guidance on the particular sections of the book that need to be studied. To match the new membership structure, the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health has revised its syllabus and this has been covert in the updated text. 

Third-party involvement in the assessment, whilst not essential, is desirable to demonstrate impartiality, and one requires a safety professional specializing in this field. The Safety and Reliability Society, which is associated with the Engineering Council, maintains appropriate standards for admission to corporate membership, and membership would be one factor in suggesting suitability. Suitable consultants should have dealt with many other clients and have a track record concerning lEC 61508. Examples would be papers, lectures, assessments, and contributions to the drafting of the standard. This would serve to demonstrate that some assessment benchmark has been applied. 

The Institute of Fuel (18 Devonshire St., London, W.l) has grades of corporate membership for those professionally qualified in fuel technology and prescribes its own examinations. Details are to be found in the booklet it issues which lays down regulations for admission and examination requirements. Another publication Careers in Fuel describes the work of the fuel technologist in coal, gas, oil, electricity and nuclear power, with an account of methods of training and available opportunities. The Gas Council... 

There has been sufficient interest by the ACS membership in this issue and enough expressed dissatisfaction with many existing corporate compensation plans to warrant continued work to develop and to execute an action program by the Society. 

As of April 2009, the membership has consisted of ten multinational pharmaceutical corporations (AZ, Boehringer Mannheim, GSK, Johnson Johnson, Lilly, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Schering-Plough, and Wyeth), and two technology/suppler organizations (Codexis and DSM). 

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association consists of manufacturers of equipment and apparatus for the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power. The membership is limited to corporations, firms, and individuals actively engaged in the manufacture of products included within the product scope of NEMA product subdivisions. 

The Chinese chemical market is attracting huge foreign direct investments. Between 1993 and 2003, investment projects amounted to around EUR 20 billion of contractual FDI, with Bayer, BASF, Shell, and BP the four biggest investors. Over the last ten years, five percent of foreign direct investment was into the chemicals sector. Multinational corporations (MNCs) tend to enter via joint ventures partially driven by the need for feedstock access, but wholly foreign-owned enterprises will become more common following China s membership of the WTO. 

The diversity metric can then be the distance to the nearest object, or the degree of overlap between the two distributions. The second metric has to be calculated on the fly, as it is dependent on the membership of the distribution, which will vary according to which library subset is selected. Diversifying metrics based on molecular properties have been used to cluster corporate databases [34], and so are available to balance out the representative metric. 

A Hnal problem for this proposal is created by corporate property, for example church and state land. The managers of such property form a dass, but not by virtue of property-ownership, since in a real sense the property belongs to the corporation rather than to any individual or in dividuals. As argued later, they form a class by virtue of their power to dedde how the factors of production shall be used, that is by their ability to issue legitimate commands. Their command over property emerges as a result of attaining a certain class position, and is not a prior fact explaining their class membership. 

Business in the Community (BITC) is a UK-based business membership organization, which publishes the Corporate Responsibility Index that annually surveys and ranks the CSR performance of participating companies. 

The CPNP constitution and bylaws provide for the structure and governance of the organization. Membership consists of Active Members, Founding Members, and Corporate Members. 

The foundation committee, which was chaired by Anthony Lanza and counted Royd Sayers among its members, proposed a value of 5 million silica particles per cubic meter of air. The choice of this number was an exercise of discretion, carried out by a body responsible to its corporate sponsors rather than the general public. The committee recognized, in a publication intended for the foundation s membership, that it lacked the knowledge upon which to base such thresholds. 32...
