[roseb@smtp-gw.gdls.com (Boyd H Rose)]

     Fellow Radsafers:
     
     There has been a thread running during the past few weeks on the 
     Safety list, SAFETY@LIST.UVM.EDU, regarding a Draft ANSI/ASSE Z590 
     Standard (2/99), Criteria for Establishing Levels of Competence and 
     Certification in the Safety Profession. Information about the standard 
     and how to obtain a copy of the standard is available at
     
        http://www.asse.org/bstan2.htm
     
     Further information about the standard is available at
     
        http://www.safetyinfo.com/z590.htm
     
     I encourage all who have not yet reviewed the standard to obtain a 
     copy for review and comment.  According to www.safetyinfo.com, the 
     comment period will end on April 14, 1999.
     
     It is important that we review the Draft ANSI Z590 Standard (2/99) to 
     insure that we in the health physics profession have input in the 
     standard and are appropriately represented as a profession in the 
     standard.
