Conference Brochure Released
ASA has released our 2010 conference brochure! It will arrive in the mail shortly, and is available online. More workshops and speakers will be added soon, so keep an eye on our conference webpage to stay up-to-date on the agenda.
Hazmat Training
The FAA has set an August 20, 2010 deadline for all repair stations to certify Hazmat training. There are many hidden hazards in aircraft parts, so Hazmat training is useful for any company handling aircraft parts, including distributors, air carriers and repair stations. In addition, The US Department of Transportation (US DOT) requires that all individuals engaged in handling hazardous materials must be trained at least once every three (3) years. Air Carriers are required to be trained annually and IATA requires training every two (2) years. Update your certification by attending a Hazmat workshop - ASA Members receive a discount on registration!
