Orlando, Florida – The CPI looks set to extend its alliance with US Chemicals regulator OSHA.
'The initial alliance is finished, but it will be extended some time later this month,' said Lee Salamone, senior director of CPI ahead of the group's annual meeting here.
In the first two-year alliance the CPI developed guidance for companies and people in the automotive refinishing sector. CPI also carried out a second piece of work for the spray foam industry on fall prevention.
Working with Osha helps to open doors into other industries, which can be hard to access. Salamone said: 'We spend a lot of time talking about spray foam with construction industry. Fall protection, is a major interest of OSHA and we are able to get our fall protection message two people at the next spray foam meeting in February.
A key win for OSHA and the CPI is the ability for analytical chemists from industry to meet those of the organisation, she added. 'Some of our people went to Utah, where they are based. They will be holding regular updates by telephone,' she added.
