To Members of the Vinyl Chloride Safety Association:
Plans for the 1985 meeting of the Vinvl Chloride Safety Association are now in the final stages. The location is confirmed by John Anderson as the Innisbrook Inn and Resort, Tarpon Springs, Florida on September 12 and September 13.
The Inn is located 30 minutes drive from Tampa Interntional Airport. A shuttle service costing $11.00 per person is operated by Innisbrook, or rental cars may be reserved using the attached form. Plan to arrive on September 11.
Rooms should be reserved individually using the attached reservation form. Alternatively, you may wish to call the Inn at 813-937-3124. Note that the cut-off date for our $60.00 rate is August 10, so vour reservations should be made soon. Note also that a credit card number or $100 deposit are required. Note that the roots are not uniform, the best go first, but all are attractive condominiums with kitchens. A Resort brochure is enclosed.
John Vaughan is finalizing the agenda; an area for special concern is prompted by the recent isocyanate emergency release disaster. Topics will include "Community Emergency Planning", and a group of presentations concerning vinyl chloride emergency relief systems. These will cover rupture disc design, specification and installation, safety valve setting and maintenance, plus methods of estimating the required dimensions and configuration of emergency relief systems for PVC reactors.
We will also have presentations from other vinvl chloride related organizations, the Vinyl Institute in the U.S.A. and the A.P.M.E. vinvl chloride safety sub-coimittee from Europe.
