1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-ninth
session (11 to 20 May 1998), adopted, in accordance with resolution
A.717(17), a revised text of the Medical First Aid Guide for Use in
Accidents Involving Dangerous Goods (MFAGfootnote),
which had been approved by the Sub-Committee on Dangerous Goods, Solid
Cargoes and Containers (DSC) at its third session (9 to 13 February
1998) and finalized by that Sub-Committee's Editorial and Technical
Group as indicated in DSC 3/15/Add.2.
2 Member Governments are invited to bring the
revised text of the MFAGfootnote to the attention
of all concerned to enable industry to become familiar with the new
text in advance of its formal association with the reformatted IMDG
Code (Amendment 30).
3 For reasons of economy and in compliance with
existing rules, the complete text of the revised MFAGfootnote, as given in document DSC 3/15/Add.2, has
not been reproduced again.
