I brought this subject up because some time ago, one of the Big 3 reps (Dan Reid?) talked about the effect of the cost of health & safety on the price of cars. In addition, in that same article, he talked about compliance to sort of health/safety standard in the future. When I saw the announcement by AIAG about a committee on health & safety, I thought the Big 3 was about to come down with an edict to comply with ISO 18001 or BS 8800 or whatever. That was why I thought a forum on this might be a good idea.
