• Take the guesswork out of the liability equation - The New Standard significantly expands the responsibilities and obligations for the builder, distributor, rebuilder, user, and customer versus what was previously articulated.
• Gain educational materials and training tools for staff, customers and users - WMMA members, as the machine builder, have a responsibility to provide educational materials and training to your customers and users so you can better protect your customers and yourself.
• Receive a complimentary, hard bound copy of the current Standard.
