National Industry Groups

The Factory Inspectorate is divided into 21 areas each of which has sections that specialise in a particular industry and form the National Industry Groups (NIGs). Technical back-up is provided by Field Consultancy Groups who are co-ordinated by a Field Operations Division located at Bootle.

For the dissemination and the establishment of the ChL business model in different industries and different countries a clear definition of ChL is essential. As the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) plays a leading role in the development and implementation of ChL around the world, it was UNIDO that defined - together with an international working group -the term of Chemical Leasing (see Chapter 2).

All analysis and measurement procedures cited in the AbwV and AbwAG are standardised methods, either by DIN, ISO or CEN. Development and standardisation of biotests for emission control are carried out by national working groups on biotests (DIN), resulting in DIN standard protocols since 1976. Representatives of federal government, the Lander, industry and universities are usually present in the national working groups. 

In summary, reducing fire hazard — not passing tests — is our industry s goal. We must be alert to the status and changes in our nation s fire experience. We are doing this cooperatively through industry groups like the Urethane Division of... 

The administration sided with the off-road vehicle industry on air pollution standards, on noise pollution standards, and in giving the vehicles continued access to environmentally sensitive areas in national forests and wilderness areas, ignoring scientific opinions inside and outside government on the damage the vehicles cause, fie also sided with snowmobile manufacturers and industry groups in overruling the National Park Service s scientists and three sepa-... 

The NHA works with DOE, NREL, and others to coordinate codes and standards activities to avoid duplication of effort and enable hydrogen systems to be sited. This requires coordination with industry groups and standards organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, lEC TC 105, the U.S. Fuel Cell Council, the Society of Automotive Engineers, Fuel Cell Propulsion Institute, National Fire Protection Association, and the DOE Fuel Cell Codes and Standards Summit. 

A recovery system for uranium in seawater using amidoxime (AO) fibers is promising in that the ocean current forces seawater to easily move through an adsorption bed charged with AO fibers. A research group at the Shikoku National Industrial Research Institute has... 

Industry-university relationships are a very popular subject these days, with attention from several corners of the national administration and In the forums of virtually every technical society and industry group. In fact, the subject has been continuously popular for at least 20 years and probably for 60 Because this Symposium is taking place at a national meeting of the American Chemical Society, my comments will be derived primarily from reports of ACS scrutiny of the manifold relationships between the academic and industrial communities of chemists. 

OSHA received a very, very strong immediate reaction from the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, along with almost 30 other industry groups. We heard the same comments that we ve heard since the 1970s, said Hauter. You re going to ruin us, put us on the brink of bankruptcy. ... 

The working groups publish newsletters and reports and provide a network for those working in these industries across the world. UNEP and UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation) are also setting up about 20 centres for cleaner production in less developed countries. These centres will be independent and industry driven, involved in education, technology transfer and consultation regarding cleaner production. 

A similar measure (per 100000) is used by the HSC in its annual report on national accident statistics and enables comparisons to be made within an organization between time periods when employee numbers may change. It also allows comparisons to be made with the national occupational or industrial group relevant to the organization. 

The lead industry s trade groups were of several types. The National Lead Institute, perhaps the earliest lead industry group, began to sponsor research on lead as a human health issue in the early 1920s. These efforts were prompted in part by questions about occupational and, somewhat later, childhood lead poisoning in the United States. Aub et al. (1924) were provided funds to study such topics as the behavior of lead in the human body. In 1928, the LIA was formed, with a number of the major lead producers and lead users as members. The LIA appears to have been the de facto organizational successor to the National Lead Institute. The LIA recently disbanded through a formal bankruptcy action.
