Kent McElhattan Elected Chairman of the National Safety Council


Industrial Scientific (USA) is pleased to announce that Kent McElhattan, Chairman and Co-Founder, has been elected Chairman of the Board of Directors for the National Safety Council. McElhattan succeeds Joseph J. Ucciferro who served as Chairman for three years.


McElhattan was elected to the Council’s Board of Directors in 2007, serving on the finance and audit committees, as well as the strategic planning committee. He most


recently served as Chair of the Trustees. “Due in large part to the commitment and tenacity of the National Safety Council, our world is a much safer place today than it was 100 years ago, or even 25 years ago,”


said McElhattan. “But we still have an enormous amount of work to do. I am delighted and humbled to have a leadership position within such a great national organisation. I look forward to working with our President and CEO, Janet Froetscher, and her team.”


McElhattan served as President and CEO of Industrial Scientific from 1985 to 2010. Under his leadership, the company grew to become the market leader in gas detection for safety purposes with operations in 17 countries.


The National Safety Council was founded in 1913 and chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1953. The Council is a non-profit, international public service organisation committed to preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the roads, through leadership, research, education and advocacy. The Council is executing on a strategy that will save an additional 10,000 lives and prevent 1 million injuries by 2014.

Following its amalgamation with ENTSORGA, IFAT has celebrated a successful premiere and established itself firmly as the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technology.

Dr Johannes F. Kirchhoff, Chairman of the


Advisory Board of IFAT ENTSORGA and Managing Partner of FAUN Umwelttechnik: "IFAT ENTSORGA has more than done justice to its new role as the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management. What was particularly noticeable was the high numbers of international visitors." Peter Kurth, President of the Bundesverband der Deutschen Entsorgungs-, Wasser- und Rohstoffwirtschaft e.V. (BDE – Federation of the German Waste, Water and Raw Materials Management Industry) added: "The waste, water and recycling sector has welcomed the extended concept of the fair.

ACHEMA 2012: Providing a Fresh Platform for Innovation Worldwide


For decades now ACHEMA has been acclaimed as the premier world forum of the process industry and has established itself as the trend-setting technology summit for innovation in chemical engineering, environmental protection and biotechnology.


Taking place from 18th - 22nd June 2012 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the 30th ACHEMA event will


once again be the leading international meeting point for decision-makers and experts from a broad spectrum of related industries.


ACHEMA addresses the whole supply chain and is not just the focus of European engineers, but is


increasingly pulling in more and more visitors from emerging markets such as Asia and elsewhere. The foreign visitor component also features high-level decision makers from the international technical community as well as end users, contractors, distributors and other key people in the supply chain.


“Although the 30th ACHEMA is more than 18 months away, the exhibitor booking process is already well


under way. The majority of exhibitors will have finalised their commitments by the end of 2010,” said Scheuring. “To ensure securing a good position in the most appropriate hall for their business new companies looking to exhibit at ACHEMA 2012 need to make a decision as soon as possible.”

Analytical Technology announces its continued expansion into the UK and European industrial sector with the formation of its Industrial Division and appointment of Wesley Hazley as UK Business Development Manager (Industry).


NLS Gains NORMAN Network Membership


The National Laboratory Service (NLS) has recently become a member of the NORMAN network; a non-profit association which aims to identify and manage emerging environmental pollutants.


The NORMAN network was formed in September 2005 with the financial support of the European Commission. It is now established as a permanent self-sustaining network of approximately 50 reference laboratories, research centres and related organisations for the monitoring and bio-monitoring of emerging environmental substances.


Membership of this network presents the NLS with benefits to aid its continuous research and


development efforts and the work it executes on behalf of the Environment Agency through indentifying substances within water, air and soil.


Ian Rippin, commercial director of the NLS said: “The benefits that the NLS will receive by being a part


of the NORMAN network will be fundamental to the work that we do. It will introduce us to a huge amount of data from member organisations and it will allow us to communicate our own research results, which should allow us to collectively assess and monitor the emerging substances issue on a much larger scale.”


“We are keen to work alongside other laboratories that face the same challenges for the development of analytical methodologies that can meet ever more demanding Environmental Quality Standards.”
