Meeting to discuss classification with HSE at Buxton

HSE have today stated that they are no longer able to achieve their stated aim of turning around classifications in 21 days.  Please note the contents of this letter (click on image above for full size version).

Attached is a list (to date) of agreed changes to ADR / RID 2007 that will go towards forming the text of ADR / RID 2009. Work towards what will be 'CDG 2009' has already begun. We are now asking for your help with:

i) identifying what, if anything, we have missed (this preliminary listing is obviously not the final 'official' listing of all changes that will appear in ADR / RID 2009); 

ii) what changes do you think will have a significant impact on your industry? (and why?); and,  

iii) what can you begin to let us have in the way of provisional costings (or data that will aid in calculating costings)?
