by Helen Gillespie, Editor, LIMS/Letter Most people never forget their very first car. I’ve never forgotten the sports car I learned to use a stick shift in. Nor have I forgotten using the choke to get it to start. Nor have I forgotten bending over the engine or sliding under the car to make quick fixes on the side of the road to get it going again. Nor have I forgotten times when the floor mat got stuck under the accelerator; using my heel to quickly pull the floor mat back was just par for the course. Driving used to be much more of an adventure than it is now and safety wasn’t an expectation.  Times have changed. Safety is now expected, not just in the cars we drive but
in the food we eat, the toys we buy, and the products we purchase—from non-toxic
paint to flammable-resistant curtain fabric. Hence regulatory oversight has become
more complicated, and in many cases contradictory, as safety issues are identified
and safety expectations continue to rise.
This is the first of a two-part article that explores the REACH chemical safety regulation that was recently highlighted at the HCF 2010 conference. Click here for full article >>> |
