This week’s Cotton Newsline is three cuts. All cuts are Dr. Andy Jordan, Vice-President of Technical Services for the National Cotton Council.
Suggested introduction cut 1:
Fire code regulators were going to list cotton bales in the same hazardous materials category as gasoline. According to Dr Andy Jordan –Vice President of Technical Services for the National Cotton Council - thanks to research conducted through the Cotton Foundation this code change was prevented.
Suggested introduction cut 2:
Jordan says research data was collected to prove to the regulators that cotton bales were not as hazardous as they were 40 years ago.
Suggested introduction cut 3:
Jordan believes most of the industry would not have know the cost of a Fire Code change had they not been able to get the research data together and present it to the regulators.
