BLACKBERRIES, PDA’S, CELL PHONES,LAPTOPS NOT REQUIRED!

In a time when technology is taking over our lives, Ifeel a sudden need to rebel and protest for theimportance of face to face communication. As asociety, we have gotten so hung up on email, textmessaging and chat rooms, that we forget the simplesignificance of that good, old fashion, person toperson conversation.

I recently had dinner with a good friend of mine that Ihave known for many years. As she was bringing meup to date on her life and current issues, I suddenlyrealized that it had been over four months since welast saw one another in person. Although we are oftenemailing each other and sending quick notes on theweekly gossip, it’s not quite the same, is it? When yousend a text message or chat online, we miss the funny expressions thatusually accompany the story. I especially do not want to miss my friend’sfacial expressions because that is sometimes the most enjoyable part of ourconversation. When we talk on the phone or email, we often miss thepersonal connection. That point in the conversation, where you share anuncontrollable laughter for an extended period of time, or share a similarfacial expression signaling that you are in agreement with the statement given.What about the warm greeting hello and the final goodbye? We can’t shake aperson’s hand or give a brisk hug to someone by email, phone, or messaging.

The same can be said of business. I often find that when I meet a supplieror member in person, I get something more out of the interaction thenmeeting via phone or email. I get the opportunity to learn a little somethingmore about their personal life … their spouse, their children, where theyhave traveled, personal interest, etc. This information can be useful inhelping me understand the best way to communicate with this person and,gives us the personal connection so that the next time I speak with thisindividual, I might say “how is Beth, your lovely wife?” rather than thestandard, ‘hi, how are you”, then moving along with the business onlyconversation. I’m not suggesting that we avoid the business talk becauseafter all, that’s what our interaction is truly concerning, I am only suggestingthat we learn about one another and take a moment to build some trustamongst both parties.

As you are thumbing through the pages of this issue, take a moment to readDave Ballantyne’s, (Sodrox Chemicals), testimonial on last year’s AnnualMeeting. He speaks to the significance of face to face networking anddescribes the value of business and “true” conversation over a game of golfor a delicious dinner.

I would encourage everyone to join us at this year’s Annual General Meetingin Quebec City on May 28th-30th, 2008 to take an opportunity to learn moreabout your friends in the industry, share an uncontrollable laugh or shakehands with a supplier partner, and of course, meet your fellow colleaguesFACE TO FACE.

See you in Quebec City!

Signing off, your anti-techie friend,

Catherine

BLACBERRY, PDA, CELLULAIRES, PORTABLES PASNÉCESSAIRES !

Dans un period où la technologie prend le contrôle de nosvies, il me prend une envie soudaine de me rebeller et deprotester en faveur de l'importance de la communicationface à face. Notre société s'accroche tellement au courriel,aux messages texte et aux messageries instantanées quenous en oublions la valeur de cette bonne vieilleconversation de personne à personne.

J'ai récemment dinner avec une bonne amie que je connaisdepuis plusieurs années. Comme elle me racontait lesderniers événements de sa vie incluant les actualités, j'aisoudainement réalisé que nous nous voyions en personnepour la première fois depuis quatre mois. Nouséchangions religieusement des courriels et des petitesnotes à chaque semaine mais, ce n'est pas pareil, n'est-ce

pas ? Lorsque nous envoyons un message texte ou que l'on chat en ligne,nous perdons ces expression drôle qui accompagne habituellement l'histoire.Je ne veux surtout pas manquer les mimiques de mon amie puisque c'estsouvent la partie la plus agréable de notre conversation. Lorsque nouscommuniquons par téléphone ou par courriel, nous manquons souvent lecontact personnel. Vous connaissez ce moment dans une conversation où onéclate d'un fou rire qui n'en finit plus ou lorsque que nous affichons uneexpression identique démontrant que nous sommes en accord avec ce qui sedit. Qu'en est t'il des chaleureux "Allô !" et du "Salut !" final ? Nous nepouvons pas serrer leur main ou lui faire un câlin par courriel, téléphone ouen message texte..

On peut en dire autant pour les affaires. Je trouve souvent que, lorsque jerencontre un fournisseur ou un membre en personne, j'en retire quelquechose de plus dans notre interaction que lors d'un contact par téléphone oucourriel. J'ai la chance d'en apprendre un peu plus sur leur vie personnelle,leur épouse, leurs enfants, leurs derniers voyages, leurs intérêts personnels,etc. … Cette information m'est utile pour mieux comprendre la meilleurefaçon de communiquer avec cette personne; cette affinité avec l'autre nouspermet, lors d'une prochaine rencontre, de dire : " Comment va Beth, votrecharmante épouse ?" au lieu du conventionnel "Comment ça va ?" avant depasser immédiatement à la conversation d'affaires. Je ne suggère pas d'éviterde parler affaires, après tout n'est ce pas le but de notre rencontre, je suggèreseulement d'en apprendre un peu plus les uns sur les autres et prendre unmoment pour établir un lien de confiance entre chaq’un.

En feuilletant cette édition, prenez le temps de lire le témoignage de DaveBallantyne (Sodrox Chemicals) concernant le dernier congrès annuel. Il y faitl'éloge du réseautage face à face et décrit l'importance d'une bonneconversation d'affaires au cours d'une partie de golf ou en dégustant unedinner délicieuse.

Je voudrais tous vous inviter à nous joindre à notre prochain congrès annuelqui se tiendra cette année dans la ville de Québec le 28, 29 et 30 mai.Saisissez l'occasion d'en apprendre plus sur vos amis de l'industrie, partagerun fou rire ou serrer la main d'un fournisseur ou, bien sûr, y rencontrer voscollègues FACE À FACE.

Au plaisir de vous voir tous à Québec !

Signé : votre amie anti-techie

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVEand breathe Responsible Distribution.There are others who have never heard ofCACD or Responsible Distribution. Oneof the challenges that the CACD Board ofDirectors is tackling this year is to raisethe awareness of Responsible Distributionboth within the industry and outside ofthe industry.

I fall under the category of people whocannot escape RD. Early in February Iwas scrambling to prepare our Phase I re-verification package before I left for

vacation. Not that I would leave this until the last minute, but I putin a few very long days prior to leaving for the Dominican Republic.On arrival I was greeted by the “Welcome to RD” sign. They thinkRD stands for Republica Dominicana, but I know differently. Stillstruggling to leave work behind, I wandered by the resort swimmingpool to hear, “Rod!”. There in all of his glory was CACD PastPresident Ian Dowding. That’s what I get for vacationing during highseason at a golf destination.

One of the groups that need to be more aware of CACD andResponsible Distribution is our government. After all, the CACDwas created to raise the level of performance of chemicaldistributors and demonstrate to government that chemicaldistribution could be conducted in an increasingly safe way withoutadditional regulation. Is this being accomplished if our MPs andMPPs do not know what CACD is? The Canadian ChemicalProducers’ Association make strides towards informing the federalgovernment by organizing meetings with MPs in Ottawa. We areexploring a variation, which would involve CACD members meetingwith their members of parliament in their riding offices. As do theCCPA, the CACD would craft specific messages that the governmentshould hear repeatedly across the country.

Another target audience is our school system. In October we heardJohn Rice of the Chemical Educational Foundation introduce theirnew “You Be The Chemist” kits and challenge. The books provide aperfect mechanism for making chemistry fun for children and, asimportantly, teachers while raising the profile of the chemicalindustry and CACD. CACD’s Education Fund has paid for an orderof 100 kits for use within our member company’s community. Pleasecontact Catherine at the CACD office to order copies for your area.

We need to promote RD and the CACD more effectively to ourcustomers. They need to be reminded of the real benefits ofworking with CACD member companies. Did you know that CACDhas a presentation available for your sales staff titled “CommercialBenefits of Responsible Distribution”? There are other toolsavailable to you, please just ask the CACD staff for assistance.

We cannot forget to continue to wave the flag within our companies.Cathy Campbell and I are available to make presentations at companygeneral information meetings or other appropriate events. RDawareness should start in our own backyards. Does your receptionistknow what RD is? Is your receptionist reading this issue ofChemunicator?

The Board welcomes any other ideas you may have for raising theprofile of RD and CACD. Don’t hesitate to contact any of us toshare your thoughts. However, I would like to declare the areaswithin 10 feet of swimming pools to be RD-free zones.

Another successful CACD Annual Meeting has been attended,enjoyed and now is a memory. Sounds pretty hum drum,doesn’t it? But what really happened in PEI last year wasanything but hum drum! Member companies, associatemembers and supplier partners met on a historical island andenjoyed good food and fellowship, shared pertinentinformation on the security of our country and the well beingour youth, laughed at bibbed lobster- eating friends, dancedthe evening away to the sounds of wonderful down-eastmusic, toured the island and golfed one of Canada’s mostbeautiful courses.

And let us not forget the association meetings, keynotespeakers, lively music and incredible food. We all grabbedthe opportunity to renew old friendships and begin newrelationships.

Each annual meeting has something special for each of us toremember, like the golfers walking off the still sun-lit coursein Jasper at 11 pm; the sights and sounds of the East andWest Coasts; the special charm that is PEI; the breathtakingbeauty of our Canada, this place we call home and couldnever replace!

The annual meeting is the corporate / visual part of ourassociation. It is planned carefully and with passion by ourStaff and Board. It is the celebration of a year’s worth of

hard work by many of our company employees who serve oncommittees and strive to keep the rest of us informed.

Some attend the annual meeting to make new and renew oldconnections. Others use the time to reward those serving onthe many important CACD committees, or to hold theircompany sales meetings, or to introduce their Regulatorypeople to new information and or peers in their field ofexpertise.

We have a strong association because the membership ownsit, directs it and supports it. It lets me sleep just a littlebetter at night!

Yes, this is the last thought……..see you in Quebec City for agreat time and I wouldn’t want to miss it!!!!!!

Waiver clause: These thoughts are not necessarily thethoughts and opinions of the CACD Staff, Board orAssociation, but I am perfectly comfortable with them.

Only the Very Best!

Dave BallantyneSodrox Chemicals Ltd.CACD Board Member, RAC

Le dernier congrès annuel de l'ACDPC a était une autreréussite; il a su satisfaire les nombreux participants et estdésormais classé parmi nos souvenirs. C'est un refrain qu'onentend habituellement, non ? Ce qui s'est déroulé l'anneederniere à l'Île du Prince Édouard mérite tous les qualificatifssauf celui d'ordinaire. Les membres corporatifs, les membresassociés et nos fournisseurs partenaires se sont rencontréssur une île historique, ont profité d'une bonne bouffe dansune grande camaraderie, ont partagé des informationspertinentes sur la sécurité de notre pays et sur le bien-êtrede notre jeunesse, se sont bien moqués de nos amis àbavette mangeurs du homard, ont terminé la soirée par unedanse au son de la superbe musique des maritimes, ont visitél'île et ont joué au golf sur un des plus beaux parcours auCanada.

Et n'oublions pas les réunions de l'association, lesconférenciers invités, la musique entraînante et l'incroyablenourriture. Nous avons tous saisi l'occasion pour renouvelerd'anciennes amitiés et amorcer de nouvelles relations.

Chaque congrès annuel nous permet de rapporterd'impérissables souvenirs comme ces golfeurs à Jasperquittant le terrain à 23 hres sous les rayons du soleil ou lepaysage et les sons des côtes Est et Ouest, le charme bienparticulier de l'Île du Prince Édouard et en somme, cettebeauté à couper le souffle de notre Canada, ce pays que nousappelons "chez-nous" et que nous ne pourrions jamaisremplacer.

Le congrès annuel est le côté corporatif / visuel de notreassociation. C'est un événement préparé soigneusement et

passionnément par la direction et notre personnel. C'est lepoint culminant d'une année de travail ardu de nos employésqui siègent sur les comités et qui nous tenir bien informés.

Certains participants au congrès en profitent pour reprendrecontact avec d'anciennes connaissances ou s'en faire denouvelles. D'autres encore, cette occasion leur permet derécompenser ceux qui siègent sur les nombreux et importantscomités de l'ACDPC, certains y tiennent leurs réunions devendeurs ou bien permettent à leur préposés à laréglementation de s'informer des dernières nouveautés etd'échanger avec leurs homologues dans leur domained'expertise.

Notre association est forte parce qu'elle appartient auxmembres qui la dirigent et la supportent. Ça me permet dedormir juste un peu plus tranquille la nuit.

Oui, c'ést ma dernière réflexion… rendez-vous dans la ville deQuébec pour tout un événement et je ne voudrais pasmanquer pour rien au monde.

Mise au point : Ces idées et opinions ne sont pasnécessairement celles du personnel, de la direction ou del'ACDPC mais je suis parfaitement confortable avec eux.

À tous, le meilleur en tout et partout !

REACH RegulationsINTRODUCTION

THE NEW EUROPEAN CHEMICALS REGULATION1907/2006 (so-called REACH Regulation) entered into force inthe European Union on 1 June 2007. Many importers ofchemicals are currently discussing with their non-EU suppliershow to comply with the REACH Regulation. FECC hasreceived several questions regarding import and REACHRegulation from its members. FECC has gathered the mostfrequently asked questions and their answers* for you to use asa reference. More detailed information on the provisions ofthe REACH Regulation is available on the websites listed inthis leaflet.

* This information is provided in good faith and based on theinformation available as of February 2008. Please note that some of theguidance documents, particularly the guidance on the OnlyRepresentative, might be revised in the future. FECC will provideupdated information as soon as it is available, but takes no legalresponsibility in case of incomplete or outdated information

REACH has consequences for the entire Chemical Industr y; this leafletgives you answers to the most common questions the FECC has receivedfrom its members on the import of chemicals. The European Associationof Chemical Distributors (FECC) represents around 1,200 Europeanchemical distributors to the EU Institutions. FECC Members - most ofthem SMEs - create value in the supply chain meeting the demands ofover one million downstream users with a large range of products.FECC Members distribute and regularly import substances andpreparations vital for the success of the European economy

Do all non-EU countries have the same status?

REACH applies to EU Member States1. Onceincorporated into the EEA Agreement, REACH will also applyto EFTA-EEA States that is Iceland, Liechtenstein andNorway.

1: Please note that many member states have special territories whichhave dif fering relationships with their national governments andconsequently also the European Union. For more information, pleasevisit: http://en.wikipedia.org/ and use the keywords: ‘Special memberstate territories and the European Union’

How does REACH affect non-EU companies underREACH?

In case of chemical substances exported into the EUterritory in quantities higher than 1 tonne per year, theimporter has the obligation to register the imported substancesunder REACH. Non-EU companies are expected to assist theirEuropean importers in order to facilitate the registration ofthe imports.

What is an Only Representative?

Non-EU companies can also appoint an OnlyRepresentative (OR) in order to fulfil the REACH obligationsof the importers. This possibility is only applicable to non-EUmanufacturers of substance on its own, in preparations or inarticles, formulators of preparations or article producers.

Who can offer OR services?

Any natural or legal person fulfilling the followingconditions can act as an OR:• he is established in the Community• he has sufficient background in the practical handling ofchemical substances and related informationCompanies can offer this service on an individual basis.

When do companies have to decide whether to appointan OR?

The OR will take over all the obligations of theimporters, including the obligation to register. If the OR wantsto benefit from the transitional periods for registration, he willneed to pre-register. Therefore it is advised to appoint an ORprior to the pre-registration period: 1 June 2008 – 1 December2008.

Do non-EU companies have to inform the importersthat an OR has been appointed?

Yes. The non-EU company should inform the importersabout his intentions to appoint an OR. As soon as the OR isappointed, the importers must receive a confirmation from the

non-EU supplier. The EU importers need to be able todocument that their imports are covered by an OR and thusthey are relieved from their REACH obligations, as importers.They will however have obligations as downstream users. Formore information on these obligations, please visit the ECHAwebsite.

Can non-EU traders or distributors appoint an OR?

No, this is not possible.

Can non-EU companies who do not export chemicalsdirectly to the EU (but for example via a non-EU distributor)appoint an OR?

Yes. Non-EU entities who can appoint an OR, do notnecessary have to directly export the substance, preparation orarticle to the Community but a supply chain may followoutside the Community before an import takes place.

Can non-EU companies have more than one OR?

Only one OR per substance can be appointed.However, the same OR can represent more than one non-EUcompany for the same substance.

Does the OR need to inform the European ChemicalsAgency (ECHA) about the non-EU companies he represents?

Yes. During the pre-registration and/or the registration,the OR will need to disclose on behalf of which company(ies)he is acting, as well as the importer(s) he covers. A documentin which the non-EU company appoints him as OR must beprovided. However, the OR does not have to inform otherpotential registrants in the Substance Information ExchangeForum (SIEF) about the identity of the non-EU company herepresents.

Is there a standard form of OR contract?

There is no official standard contract to appoint an OR.

Can companies change OR?

Yes. However, this will trigger the submission of a newregistration dossier (and payment of the correspondingregistration fee) and may entail additional costs in terms ofdata sharing.

YOU BE THE CHEMISTTHE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES FACE TOUGH COMPETITION FOR BRIGHT, YOUNG MINDS. YBTC PROGRAMS PROVIDE NORTH AMERICAN STUDENTS A FIGHTING CHANCE.

Isabel Alexander

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” The likeli-hood of a young student spontaneously answering, “I want a career in the chemical industry” is low. I suspect

it would be an unpopular answer for adults also. Some new acquain-tances recoil when they ask me what I do for a living and I respond that I own a chemical company.

Statistics show that a high percentage of western society thinks of chemicals as harmful to life and the environment. The word chemi-cal has a nasty, “toxic waste” stigma attached to it for most children and adults.

The truth is, life would be dismal without chemistry. In my opin-ion, our industry has done a poor job correcting the negative per-ceptions manufactured from events of the past and media sensa-tionalism. We have done too little to build awareness of the huge

investment and advancements made in environmental preservation and renewal, in product stewardship, and in industry driven codes of practice such as Responsible Distribution® and Responsible Care®. Credit should be given to the strides made in the research, develop-ment, and innovation that results in a better quality of life, every day for everyone on this planet.

The chemical industry cannot leave its destiny in the hands of government or educational institutions. We must take the lead and educate for our industry’s future. We must market the sciences and chemical industry as entities vital to the constant improvement of the quality of life for humans, other life forms, and Mother Earth.

Our industry should be in demand as a source of rewarding, fulfilling, and stimulating careers. However, we face tough competition for the bright young minds and skilled workers of today’s and the next generations.

20 L’ACTUALITÉ CHIMIQUE CANADIENNE MARS 20081122


Without their contribution, we face even greater challenges for a sustainable chemical industry on this continent, and this has far-reaching im-plications on all commercialization and innova-tion rooted in North America.

One way to lead the change and to influ-ence positive interest in our industry is to support the work of the Chemical Educa-tional Foundation (CEF). CEF is an interna-tionally recognized, award-winning organi-zation based in Washington, DC. Its central mission is to promote the value, importance, and benefits of chemistry education and chemicals. CEF believes that investing in science education for the young is vital to the future of the chemical industry, its af-filiated organizations, and our communities as a whole.

CEF has created several educational pro-grams aimed at engaging educators and stu-dents of grades kindergarten through eight in science education. CEF’s “You Be The Chemist” (YBTC) programs include:• YBTC activity guides;• Lesson plans for making chemistry fun; • YBTC Challenge—an exciting academic

chemistry competition that engages students in grades five through eight in learning im-portant concepts and discoveries;

• YBTC Lesson Plan Competition—a compe-tition that awards cash prizes to educators for their innovative teaching techniques. CEF believes that increased exposure to

science education in the formative years will improve the general understanding of, par-ticipation in, and acceptance of chemistry, chemicals, and the chemical industry itself. Simply put, it is more effective to create un-derstanding and appreciation of science in the young than to attempt to develop such knowledge later in life.

CEF executive director John Rice said, “Using CEF programs serves as an effective method of bridging the chemical industry and community gap, and helps provide a countermeasure against negative percep-tions created by misunderstanding and fear. Use of CEF materials also provides an av-enue for constructive dialogue between in-dustry and the community.”

CEF provides programs for companies to introduce themselves to communities where they do business. In turn, these programs create tremendous community outreach op-portunities for industry members, positioning them as engaged members of the community.

The new YBTC committee has already had enthusiastic response from the distribution and chemical manufacturers of Canada. Our plan is to raise awareness and funds to en-sure that YBTC kits and programs are avail-able to academic institutions and groups in Canada that will support and contribute to the understanding and value of chemistry globally. It is good corporate social responsi-bility. It is excellent business strategy!

Volunteers are enthusiastically encouraged to join the Canadian committee to ensure rep-resentation across Canada with talents and

resources to cover our geographic, language, and cultural diversity. With support, we hope to launch the first French language version of YBTC soon and to rival our U.S. sister’s YBTC suc-cess on a national level. Next goal—an international YBTC challenge! I welcome your expression of interest to volunteer or donate at the contact numbers below.

Mike Staley, co-chair of the new committee challenged, “Brenntag has already shown its support of the CEF programs from the top down, as demonstrated by the commitment of Stephen Clark, president and CEO of Brenntag Global. Clark is currently serving as president of the CEF and has served on the board of trustees for several years. We challenge our peers, our suppliers, and our custom-ers to step up to the plate! Contrib-ute dollars or sweat equity. Sponsor a community or fundraising event. Start a YBTC outreach program. Vol-unteer to deliver YBTC kits or give

hands-on time in classrooms. Get involved and just do it!”

For more information about the Chemi-cal Educational Foundation or You Be The Chemist, visit www.chemed.org or contact CEF staff at [email protected] or 703-527-6223.

Isabel Alexander is president of Phancorp,

Inc. and chair of the Canadian Association

of Importers and Exporters.

Most importantly, CEF programs help assure that students are being given an extra boost when it comes to science education.

In November 2007, the Canadian Asso-ciation of Chemical Distributors (CACD) in-creased its endorsement of CEF’s mandate. They formed the first CACD You Be The Chemist committee. The Canadian YBTC committee is chaired by me, Isabel Alexander, president of Phancorp Inc., and co-chaired by Michael Staley, president of Brenntag Canada Inc. CACD’s board of directors pledged their support to the new committee and increased

the association’s commitment to education. Cathy Campbell, CACD’s executive director, challenged the YBTC committee to build upon the leadership of our sister organization in the U.S.—the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD)—and make YBTC a successful program across Canada.

I am a mother, a grandmother, a con-servationist, an environmentalist, and an employer. I know first hand that the chemi-cal industry is a much misunderstood and under-appreciated facet of our lives and our future. As an industry, we are responsible for our own challenges and image. The YBTC kits, programs, and awards are an easy way to make changes today in the public’s per-ception of chemicals and chemistry.

Laura Dornbusch, president of Expo Chemical Company, Inc. and the current CEF vice-president stands with the student winners of the 2007 Houston Regional YBTC Competition.

Penton (ARA) - When you were a kid, did the word "green"conjure images of Kermit sitting on a log singing about thedifficulties of fitting in? Or perhaps it brought to mind Dr.Seuss's timeless classic about the questionably colored eggs andham.

Chances are if you ask your child what he thinks of the"green" movement, he'll surprise you with his knowledge of -and passion for - the topic. Like any other major mediamessage, kids are being inundated with information on theneed to protect the environment.

"It's important for parents to help kids sift through all theinformation to find real ways they can make a difference, evenat a very tender age," says Karen Farmer, a children's bookauthor and environmentalist. "Kids can really feel empoweredby participating in the green movement, and they'll beestablishing environmentally conscious habits that will sustainthem their whole lives."

With the approach of Earth Day 2008 on April 22, manyparents are wondering how they can nurture the buddingenvironmentalist in their children. Here are some practical tips:

* Bag it. From Beijing to Annapolis, Md., communities aroundthe world are banning the use of plastic shopping bags, whichtake approximately 1,000 years to decompose. Each year 500billion plastic bags are used around the world, and the costs ofbags given away "free" by retailers can top $4 billion annually.

Teaching youngsters to choose reusable cloth bags forshopping not only makes environmental sense, it could bepreparing them for a world in which plastic shopping bags areno more.

"Choosing reusable, environmentally friendly bags versusplastic shopping bags, is an easy step even the youngestshoppers can take," says Farmer, who authored "My Bag andMe!" The book, for children 3 to 9 years old, tells the story ofa little boy who always takes his own reusable bag to thegrocery store when he shops with his mother. The sturdy,brightly colored board book illustrated by Gary Currant alsoincludes a child-sized reusable bag that reads "I Love Earth."The bag is made of Tyvek, the same durable, recyclablematerial often used to insulate the exterior walls of newhouses.

The book and the bag encourage children to make thisenvironmentally sensible step an integral part of their dailylives. Children get the message that learning about and beingenvironmentally conscious can be fun.

Published by Penton Overseas, "My Bag and Me!" is availableat Wal-Mart and Barnes and Noble, and online atwww.pentonoverseas.com or call (800) 748-5804.

* Teach conservation. "If they're old enough to wash theirhands on their own, kids are old enough to learn how toconserve water," says Farmer.

Parents should teach children to turn off the tap whilebrushing their teeth, and keep the water flow to a pencil-thinstream when washing their hands. As soon as they're oldenough to safely stand in a shower stall and lather up on theirown, toddlers transition from baths to showers. If your familydoesn't have low-flow shower heads yet, engage older childrenin helping out with the very easy home improvement project ofinstalling one.

* Reach for recycling perfection. "Recycling is one earth-friendly activity kids of all ages can get involved in," Farmersays. Children can learn what items regularly used in theirhomes can be recycled, from soft drink cans and milk bottlesto detergent jugs and spaghetti sauce jars. Toddlers andpreschoolers can participate in separating and groupingrecyclables. Elementary school children can help with washingitems and removing labels. Older kids can even get involvedwith volunteer groups that clean litter throughout thecommunity and recycle trash found on the roadside.

On behalf of the International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA), we bring heartfelt greetings to ourcolleagues at CACD. Our organization has been significantly fortified since October 2007, when our Chicago-basednational office saw the need for a more tailored approach to the Canadian Council activities and hence the under-signed was brought on to achieve results. The platform already built by the U.S. base under the leadership of JoelAnderson and his team is already quite impressive.

Recently, the association has:

1. Contributed to the review and action of over 500 legal compliance questions for warehouse members;2. Launched a Customs endorsed CT-PAT Compliance Program for third party warehouses enabling one set of standards for international import security practices;3. Developed a model 3pl/4pl agreement for member application;4. Provided an effective exposure tool for shippers through a unique “Logistics Services Locator (LSL)”

These and many more member benefits can be visualized at www.iwla.com!

On our unique, Canadian front, since October 2007 many new benefits have been achieved for Canadian members ofIWLA. These include:

1. Distribution of a specialized, monthly 3pl newsletter that informs Canadian 3pl /warehouse operations;2. Exclusive affiliation with Canada’s #1 Business School (Schulich School of Business, York University) creating the delivery of a tailored, 3 day Logistics Management course for our industry;3. Partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers regarding the development of a much needed 3pl information and data base for the 3pl sector in Canada–not captured in any Statistics Canada offerings;4. Ongoing webinars with the next one being April 10 and featuring “ Canadian legal issues that confront warehouse operations”;5. Commencement of work on a “3pl magazine” serving our growing sector.

Again, these are but a few of the “lift- off ” services for our Canadian-based members. Like most industryassociations, we have been looking for the “burning platform” issues in Canada that tend to galvanize and solidifythe reasons for being a member. We believe this has arrived through both the urgings of one of our key members,Bob Dineen and the patience and time that your own Executive Director, Cathy Campbell has spent with us toensure that we understand the history and development of your existing Code of Practice and audited standards.Essentially, we are now engaged in a collegial undertaking to work towards common North American standards forChemical Distribution. Thanks to CACD, the initial start-up work has been done along with meticulous andpervasive audit procedures. Now we just have to harmonize these across the continent. CACD, NACD and IWLAare now joined at the hip to ensure that proper outcomes are achieved.

It is being increasingly recognized that integrated Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the key to being competitivein our current business environment. Not surprisingly, recent survey results in the July 2007 issue of Supply ChainManagement Review showed that 93% of CEO’s identified SCM as either “critical” or “very critical” to theirsuccess. SCM, of course can mean different things to different stakeholders from industry to industry. For3pl/warehouse operations, SCM starts with ensuring that you understand customer demand and that all of theupstream, integrated planning and execution processes such as managing inventory and efficient logistics are linedup to best fulfill customer demand and generate a positive financial return.

International WarehouseLogistics Association (IWLA)

As an anticipatory viewpoint, one key area that portendsto offer real efficiency is “packaging”–often anoverlooked component. Many plastic containers have notbeen redesigned for 40 years! Be prepared to see anincrease in significant re-design with a squared-off lookbecoming more efficient and in vogue. This formationwill provide easy stacking resulting in significantwarehouse efficiencies while saving money forconsumers and fuel costs for product developers.

In closing, I want to thank CACD for allowing us toexpose a renewed IWLA in Canada and we are thrilledabout working with you on a much needed standard forNorth American chemical distribution.

In 1978 Bill 70 made Joint Health and Safety Committees(JHSCs) mandatory in most industrial workplaces with 20 ormore workers. In 1990 Bill 208 expanded the joint committeerequirement to cover all workplaces with 20 or more workers,regardless of the industry or occupation involved. Further,workplaces using Designated Substances with less than 20employees must also have a JHSC.

Hopefully the above information is not new to you as JHSCrequirements have been part of Ontario’s Internal ResponsibleSystem for 20 years now and have helpedOntario go from 130, 431 Lost TimeInjury Claims in 1992 to 93,296 LostTime Injury Claims in 2004. However,you can see that the claim total is stillvery large, and as claim costs have goneup over the years the only real way toaddress the whole issue is eliminatinginjuries.

In 2007 five thousand employers werecontacted and asked to supplyinformation regarding their JHSC compliance. Full compliancewould be indicated by companies having two certified JHSCmembers, one in management one a worker. Both certifiedmembers would have taken JHSC Certification Level I andCertification Level II and be active members of theircommittee.

Of the companies contacted in the 2007 survey only 25%could show compliance!

You may remember that the Ministry of Labour brought onover 200 enforcement officers in the last few years. Ensuringcompanies are compliant with JHSC and Safety Representativerequirements will be one of the best ways these officers canhelp drive continuous safety improvement in the workplace.

Please use the following checklist to ensure you are compliant,and to plan for ongoing compliance.

JHSC COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST:

1) A committee shall consist of,(a) at least two persons, for a workplace where fewer than fiftyworkers are regularly employed; or

(b) at least four persons or such greater number of people asmay be prescribed, for a workplace where fifty or moreworkers are regularly employed. R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, s. 9 (6).

2) Co-Chairing of the committee: Two ofthe members of a committee shall co-chair thecommittee, one of whom shall be selected bythe members who represent workers and theother of whom shall be selected by themembers who exercise managerial functions.R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, s. 9 (11).

3) Certification Training: Unless otherwiseprescribed, a constructor or employer shallensure that at least one member of thecommittee representing the constructor or

employer and at least one member representing workers arecertified members. R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, s. 9 (12).

- Certification training consists of two distinct parts, Part Iand Part II

4) Replacement of Certified Members: If a certifiedmember resigns or is unable to act, the constructor oremployer shall, within a reasonable time, take all stepsnecessary to ensure that the requirement set out in subsection(12) is met. R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, s. 9 (17).

5) JHSC member names and departments posted, certifiedmembers indicated on posting.

6) JHSC must meet at least every 3 months and minutes ofthe meeting must be kept and posted for other employeesto read.

7) Workplace Inspections are completed and findingsposted for other employees to read.

8) Employers have 21 days to respond to a writtenrecommendation from their JHSC, and must respond inwriting.

Canadian Chamber and U.S. Chamber Urgently Call for Action to Reduce Border Costs

Ottawa – Today, a coalition, co-chaired by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, in close collaboration with members and partnering associations, released a report that includes recommendations to both the U.S. and Canadian governments to reduce the costs of border crossings and to strengthen national security.

“North American businesses are confronted by a border that is becoming thicker, stickier, and more costly,” says Perrin Beatty, Canadian Chamber of Commerce President and CEO. “We urgently need to find ways to reduce costs for legitimate cargo and travelers. By working together, we can achieve both economic and physical security.”

While some good progress has been made by our governments, the report, Finding the Balance: Reducing Border Costs While Strengthening Border Security, calls for short-term measures to eliminate duplicative and burdensome border requirements and facilitate the movement of legitimate passenger and cargo traffic. A number of the recommendations in the report are aimed at increasing enrollment in trusted shipper and traveler programs which will reduce the costs and time associated with moving people and goods between the two nations. The more participants in these programs, the more border officials can focus on identifying illegitimate cargo and travelers – the aim of all the security measures.

“In the age of growing global competition, we must work together to further North American prosperity,” says Thomas Donohue, the U.S. Chamber's President and CEO.

Since 9/11, Canada-U.S. businesses have experienced a costly layering of increased border-crossing fees, inspections, and wait times. A sense of frustration exists within the Canadian and U.S. business communities that many practical measures that could reduce border-related costs have yet to be taken. A broad cross section of Industry has pulled together their priority recommendations for Canadian and US government action within the next 18 months.

Canada and the United States enjoy a special relationship that facilitates the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world, with approximately $1.5 billion USD in two-way trade crossing the border on a daily basis. The benefits flowing from this relationship are significant, including approximately 7.1 million jobs in the United States and 3 million jobs in Canada.

ON JANUARY 26, 2008 CANADA SIGNED TWO new Free Trade Agreements - one with Peru and theother with the European Free Trade Association orEFTA (comprised of Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, andLiechtenstein).

Both these FTAs will be subject to a new processannounced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs thatrequires international treaties signed by Canada to betabled in the House of Commons. Members ofParliament will have a chance to review and discusstreaties, but they will not face a vote.

Performance of the chemical industry in 2007

Dollar value data for chemical industry shipments,exports and imports for 2007 are shown below. Thepercentage change compared to 2006 is shown inbrackets. Shipment data are estimates derived using datafrom Statistics Canada’s monthly survey ofmanufacturing. Once the annual survey data for 2006are released at the end of March, these data will berevised. More detailed data, and the updates to come inMarch, can be found on the Industry Canada chemicalshome page at:www.ic.gc.ca/chemicals

In 2007, total industry shipments declined slightly, whileexports grew substantially. A large part of this exportgrowth is due to a spike in uranium exports whichincreased by $2 billion. If uranium exports hadremained at the same level in 2007 as they were in 2006,then export growth for the industry would haveincreased by about 6% instead of 11%. This spike inuranium exports also means that shipments from the restof the industry would have declined more than is shown

in the data below. By a similar calculation, if uraniumoutput held constant at 2006 levels, then the decline inoverall industry shipments would have declined by about5%.

Sub-industries that showed growth in shipments werefertilizers, adhesives and sealants, soaps and detergents,printing inks, custom compounding, and other chemicals.Sub-industries that showed a decline in shipmentsexceeding the overall industry average (-4%) were: dyesand pigments, chlor-alkali, other inorganics, otherorganics, synthetic resins, synthetic fibres, pesticides,pharmaceuticals, and explosives. The larger declines inshipments result from a general decline in economicconditions, coupled with the closure of facilities withincertain sub-industries.

WATCHING ANY TV LATELY?Reality shows are the flavour of theday. If CACD held its own versionof “Survivor”, would your Companybe kicked off the island? Or wouldyour Company be a leader and forgethe way for others?

Eating insects for survival imitatesthe use of best practices in yourdaily routine. It’s awful, but youneed it! Best practices held togetherby a management system designed tokeep things running smoothly. If theleader doesn’t manage the bugs, theothers won’t do what needs to bedone. That could lead to the demiseof the tribe. Does your tribe havethe leadership & guidance thatResponsible Distribution offers?

The tribe needs a leader who isstrong and can protect them fromthe events either natural or man-made. Do your employees know thatyour Company has committed to“taking every practical precautiontowards ensuring that products andservices do not represent anunacceptable level of risk to itsemployees, suppliers, customers, thepublic, or the environment.” Do the

people in your organizationfeel confident in the OH &S programs put in place?

I often hear the comment“my Company has ISO, Idon’t need anything else.”That’s like saying “I have ahut, the wind and rain can’t

hurt me.” In reality, it’s not enough! Wemust do what needs to be done.

What has happened to having pride inbeing the best? If we lose that, therewould be no tribe, we would all disappearand cease to exist. That’s not survival ofthe fittest. That’s the stuff that gets youvoted off. CACD has done that to threemember companies, who forgot to “keepthe momentum going.”

What have you done to outlast the othertribes? Are you a survivor?
