Increasing the Value Proposition: Hydrogen Safety

December 13, 2018 at 1:00 PM ET

Demonstrated safety in the production, distribution, dispensing, and use of hydrogen is critical to the widespread use of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

This webinar included an overview of design considerations that could be employed to ensure safety for a range of hydrogen applications; recent codes and standards changes for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies; and resources available through the Hydrogen Safety Panel/Center for Hydrogen Safety. Stakeholders also learned about opportunities for safety reviews for free or at a reduced cost.

Increasing the Value Proposition: Export and Cyber Compliance

October 11, 2018 at 1:00 PM ET

Understanding the many channels of federal regulations that govern export control can be critical to a company’s future. Numerous regulations make it difficult for a company to maintain a sense of confidence that their export control program is current, sophisticated and robust enough to prevent stiff penalties. What makes these penalties even more frightening are the new cyber security requirements for all federal contractors.

This presentation provided an overview of the high-risk areas for export and cybersecurity violations, and what can be done to get into compliance quickly.  In addition, the presentation reviewed system security changes that are needed to get your company into compliance with the new cyber requirements.
