(Telecompaper) The Indian government has issued changes to telecom operator licences requiring them to address security concenrs among their foreign network equipment suppliers. According to a report from the Economic Times, the government can impose penalties of up to 100 percent of the contract value if any spyware or malware is found in their imported equipment. International manufacturers who want to do business in India will have to deposit source codes and detailed designs of all products and services they sell in an escrow account in encrypted form. This can be accessed by security agencies and operators in case of an emergency. The new rules will be incorporated into the licence agreements of all telecommunication companies with immediate effect. The new norms published by the department of telecom were issued after security agencies and the home ministry raised concerns about imported equipment, especially those sourced from Chinese companies. They also equipment makers who maintain and manage mobile networks in India to employ only Indian engineers; they will have two years to comply with this. Vendors who maintain networks also will be subject to the country's data protection laws. This implies that they can be prosecuted in India if they are found to have leaked any information or for any security breach. The government has also asked all mobile operators to submit their organisational policy on security and security management of their networks within 30 days. Mobile operators will have to get security clearance from the home ministry and third-party audits on core equipment before they can be imported. DoT also said that it was working towards setting up the Telecom Security Council of India to help increase security assurance levels. The council would be jointly funded by the government and the telecommunication industry. The new rules will also allow the centre to lift the temporary ban on 26 companies, including Chinese OEMs such as Lenovo, Huawei Technologies, ZTE, Sunsea Telecom, UTStarcom, Tongyu Communications, Wuhan Fibrehome International, Shenzhen Grentech, Maipu Communications and Israel-based Comverse from supplying mobile gear in India. Telecommunications equipment can now be imported from these companies after audits by internationally certified network security firms.

Florida Stormwater, Erosion and Sedimentation Control Inspector Certification Course

news Date Start:Dec 15 2008 1:00 pm Date Finish:Dec 15 2008 11:00 pm

The Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector Training & Certification Program The goal of the program is to increase the proper design, construction, and maintenance of erosion and sediment controls during construction and to assure the proper long-term operation and maintenance of stormwater systems after construction is completed. The primary program objective is to provide training to private and public employees in various construction related fields. The training program is primarily directed towards inspectors and contractors, however, permit reviewers, public works personnel and engineers will also benefit from this program. The program curriculum was developed to educate the inspector on proper installation, inspection and maintenance of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for use during and after construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to properly manage runoff for both stormwater quantity and quality. Floridaâ€™s stormwater program is technology based, using performance standards and BMP design criteria. The use of innovative techniques and specifically designed erosion control systems is encouraged in order to prevent erosion and sedimentation during construction activity. Implementation of the training program began in late 1997. To date, there are over 6500 certified inspectors throughout the state of Florida. FDEP approved instructors voluntarily teach the inspector training class throughout the year. This allows the instructors flexibility to arrange classes around their schedules. The inspectorâ€™s training program is a two-day class. The class follows the curriculum provided in the Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspectorâ€™s Manual. Upon the completion of the class, a proctored examination is administered and approximately 2-3 hours is given to complete the exam. In order to obtain the FDEP certification, a minimum passing grade of 70% must be made on the exam. The objectives of this training and certification program are: * To assure that the desired benefits of stormwater management systems are being achieved * To assure that both the public and private sectors have enough inspectors trained in the proper installation and maintenance of BMPs during and after construction * To assure a consistent level of technical expertise and professional conduct for all individuals responsible for inspecting erosion and sediment controls and stormwater management systems Please call Randy Free at 407-353-8165 or toll free at 800-768-7036 to discuss your needs or to book an onsite class. You can also contact us via email at rfree@safetylinks.net Course Cancellation Policy Â§ CANCELLATIONS- You may cancel up to fourteen (14) days prior to the start date of class and will be reimbursed or rescheduled without penalty. Cancellations made within fourteen (14) days to the class date are subject to a 50% cancellation fee.

How To Make Safety Your Employeesâ€™ Problem Most companies do their best to provide a safe and healthy workplace for all employees, but they become frustrated when employees â€“ who are injured after engaging in unsafe behavior â€“ benefit from liberal workersâ€™ compensation systems. This seminar will help participants develop and implement programs that place responsibility and accountability for safety squarely on the shoulders of employees and supervisors. With more than 90% of all accidents and injuries resulting from the unsafe actions of an employee, accountability programs are critical in preventing such incidents. At this seminar, we will discuss the importance of responsibility and accountability, both which are critical elements in any successful safety and risk management program. Without accountability, employees will continue to perform work in the manner they choose, which may be unsafe. Employers who chose not to hold employees accountable, will continue to suffer the costs associated with the accidents and injuries that result. Faculty Gary Glader, CSP President Network Safety Consultants, Inc. Gary has provided comprehensive safety consulting services to a growing number of industrial, construction, public entity, service and manufacturing operations.

Pre-Employment Strength Testing (Isokinetics) - Orland Park

news Date Start:Oct 29 2008 12:00 pm Date Finish:Oct 29 2008 3:00 pm

"Do you want the truth? You can't handle the truth!" Pre-Employment Strength Testing Many companies and organizations face the potential of hiring employees who are not physically capable of performing the requirements of a particular job. Employers feel helpless when a recently-hired employee states they are injured after aggravating a pre-existing condition. Pre-employment strength testing is proven to substantially reduce the cost of Workersâ€™ Compensation claims by matching the physical capabilities of a job applicant with the physical demands of the job. Important topics to be discussed at this workshop include: * Type of pre-employment and post-offer testing currently available * Applicable employment laws that apply to pre and post testing * Who and what jobs should be tested * Principles of isokinetics and the testing process * The value of isokinetics in post-injury testing * Steps required to successfully implement a pre-employment strength testing program * Success stories At this workshop you will be able to participate in an actual demonstration of the strength testing process on an isokinetic machine. The test takes approximately 15 minutes and the machine will not allow individuals to push themselves harder than their bodies will allow, eliminating the possibility of over-exertion and injury. This workshop qualified for 3.0 HRCI continuing education credits. FACULTY Gary Glader, CSP President, Network Safety Consultants, Inc.
