If you sell artificial turf system components into the State of California don't risk the embarrassment, hassle and cost of being notified you have violated Proposition 65 Laws or are not OSHA compliant!
ASGi, the Association of Synthetic Grass Installers, has published "Prop 65 & The Artificial Turf Market" a digital handbook of frequently asked questions, lists of resources and associated relevant clear and reasonable warning examples regarding California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, commonly referred to as Proposition 65 (Prop 65).
The "Prop 65 & The Artificial Turf Market" handbook is a survival guide for companies doing business in the state of California, many who were caught unaware of these highly precautionary policies are now under lawsuits or notices of violation by California State Attorney General, Jerry Brown's offices and the Center for Environmental Health (CEH). Your company could be next on the list; find out how to avoid it!
The "Prop 65 & The Artificial Turf Market" is written in easy to understand terms and is a broad source of information and intelligence to help manufacturers, distributors and installers of artificial turf systems sort through the complexities of the law's requirements and recent allegations that some components may expose workers and consumers to lead, and other hazardous substances, while using artificial grass and synthetic turf systems for sports fields, lawns, landscape and putting greens. It clearly outlines the responsibilities and potential liabilities of companies doing business in the state of California under Prop 65 and gives the reader a roadmap of what to do to insure that their company is not at risk of legal action by the state or private citizens.
The handbook also covers related federal legislation that defines a company's need to know about the lead contents of their products to insure a safe workplace for their employees and that they are delivering safe products into any American market, not only the State of California.
The "Prop 65 & The Artificial Turf Market" includes and answers these questions:
1. What is Prop 65 and it's scope, Who has to Warn and How
2. Why the artificial turf market has been "targeted" under the law
3. What a manufacturer, supplier or installer MUST do to comply, what happens if they don't
4. What is the most common mistake companies make that receive a Notice of Violation
5. Samples of appropriate MSDS, Warning Signs, Letters and Correspondence
6. A compiled list of over 20 chemicals controlled under Prop 65 that absolutely need clear and reasonable warnings that may be found in any artificial turf system
7. Copies of the current 60 Day Notices of Violation and the Complaints filed on top manufacturers
8. A Download Index Page of Legislation, Studies and Related Information for Support
