working committees

The Rubber Association of Canada provides leadership to its members through a number of working committees. Through this structure, members can discuss issues affecting a cross section of industry, can work together to share ideas, identify problems and develop industry solutions that would not be otherwise possible. Committees also often work with government agencies in areas of regulatory reform, compliance strategies, and member education.


  1. 1.Human Resources Committee  -  This Committee reviews matters relating to labour relations, employment benefits and employment standards.  A wage and benefit survey is conducted and shared by participating members.


  1. 2.Environmental Committee  -  Environmental compliance strategies and industry best practices are shared with members’ environmental representatives as a means of improving the environmental performance of the rubber industry.

 

  1. 3.Tire Statistical & Research Committee  -  The RAC collects detailed product shipment data from members, generating a database from which members can draw valuable consolidated information about the market they serve.  This Committee meets several times per year to review shipment data and forecasting for future product demands.  Members can use the 128 bit encryption WebCargo drop box to send their data to us in confidence.

  1. 4.Tire Technical Committee  -  This Committee meets jointly with Transport Canada, the regulatory body for tires in Canada, to exchange information and provide important input into the regulatory process.  The Committee serves its group of members (tire manufacturers) and consumers well by reviewing and providing support in communicating tire service bulletins and proper tire maintenance practices through the Be Tire Smart - Play Your P.A.R.T. Campaign.


  1. 5.Public Relations Committee  -  In today’s world, how the public perceives an industry and its products is paramount to its reputation and credibility.  Safety, environmental performance and end of product life stewardship are among the important subjects addressed collectively for the rubber industry by this
    Committee.
