The American Foundry Society has created an electronic 2012 Regulatory Compliance Calendar.
The convenient new tool includes environmental compliance alerts to regulations. Members can download into their Microsoft Outlook calendar.
AFS alerts will appear in the normal calendar view. Reminders are programmed for all events that may require attention.
Members not currently using Microsoft Outlook can still take advantage of the tool. The calendar can be opened in Microsoft Excel or simply used as is.
For information on how to set up the calendar on your system, visit the EHS page and scroll to the bottom.
The calendar was developed by the AFS Environmental, Health & Safety Division 10. A safety compliance calendar will also be available soon.
The American Foundry Society is a not-for-profit organization formed in 1896. With its headquarters in Schaumburg, Ill, AFS provides members and consumers with information and services to promote and strengthen the metalcasting industry.

The American Foundry Society (AFS) presented its first Technology Development Award to the United States Automotive Materials Partnership LLC (USAMP) and the U.S. Council for Automotive Research LLC (USCAR) on Aug. 11, 2011.
AFS Technical Services Vice President Thomas Prucha presented the award to current USAMP Chair Saad Abouzahr. The award was created to recognize metalcasting industry research and technology contributions.
USAMP and USCAR were chosen for the award for their “investment in metalcasting and for fostering and supporting research and technological development assisting in the advancement of metalcasting in the pursuit of lightweight component applications.”
The award is in appreciation of their time spent on developments in reducing the weight of automobiles, said Prucha. The award was presented at USCAR in Southfield, Mich.
