International SARS Symposium DVD
WPC, THE IAPMO GROUP Release the International SARS Symposium DVD
ONTARIO , Calif. —The World Plumbing Council and THE IAPMO GROUP today announced the release of the International SARS Symposium DVD.
The four-disk DVD set includes more than six hours of viewing time with presentations from Stuart Henry, chairman of the World Plumbing Council; Charles Watson, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia; John Swaffield, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland; and Mark Sobsey, a World Health Organization adviser from the University of North Carolina.
“The DVD is an excellent educational video for people who want to learn more about how the SARS virus escaped from the plumbing system of the Amoy Gardens complex in Hong Kong,” said GP Russ Chaney, executive director of THE IAPMO GROUP. “Viewers will also find out about floor drain trap seal protection, airborne cross contamination routes and product compliance.”
“The international plumbing community will benefit greatly from this DVD,” added Stuart Henry, chairman of the World Plumbing Council. “Several presentations covered how training plays a vital role in installation and without proper installation, the risk of infectious disease escaping from a plumbing system becomes much greater.”
The DVD can be purchased for $35.00 ( U.S.) by calling +1.909.472.4100 or visiting www.iapmo.org.
Note to Trade Press Editors : A complimentary review copy of the four-disk DVD is available by contacting IAPMO GROUP Marketing Director Scott Marshutz at 909/472-4141 or email smarshutz@iapmo.org.
