The video and manual reflect changes in the crane industry and related OSHA standards over the decade since AEM produced its original crane safety manual, and a predecessor animated video. The live-action format of the DVD-video and the pictorial-laden manual offer operators a conve- nient learning/reference program. AEM developed the crane safety video and manual together to complement and reinforce their safety messaging. Industry experts working through AEM's Crane Technical Committee provided content development and review. Certified trainers from the International Union of Operating Engineers demonstrated best practices for the DVD-video. The video and manual outline tips on how to a) avoid accidents and create a safe construction site; b) prepare the machine for operation and reduce repair costs; and, c) prepare the construction site for safe crane operation. A companion to manufacturer materials, AEM safety manuals and videos are industry-consensus safety documents, affording equipment owners a convenient and cost-effective way to provide safety informa- tion to operators. All AEM safety manuals, videos, and related safety and training products are available online through the AEM Store (http:// shop.aem.org). Additional information can be obtained from AEM's Bob- by Hoffmann, 414/298-4105; rhoffmann@aem.org. AEM updates Crane Safety library ASTM MAPS STAFF CHIEF SUCCESSION PLAN The ASTM International Board has unanimously approved the appoint- ment of Katharine Morgan, vice president of Technical Committee Opera- tions, as successor to ASTM President James Thomas. "The executive committee of the board set out on a search for candidates whose passion for ASTM would again result in excellent stewardship of the Society," says ASTM 2014 Chairman Thomas Schwartz. "Kathie is precisely that individual, with her instinctual knowledge of the workings of ASTM tech- nical committees, the industry sectors they represent, as well as the global standardization landscape." Morgan joined ASTM in 1984 as a staff manager and soon assumed roles of increasing responsibility in standards development, rising to her current post in 2007. To ensure a smooth transition for members and customers, she will move to the position of ASTM executive vice president in March, working closely with Thomas in advance of his February 2017 retirement.
