As a truly proactive organization, CCMA embarked down a road that hadn't been explored since the 70s. Almost three decades had passed since an organized study had been conducted to explore and document ventilation measures for controlling Silica and Heavy Metals in a foundry. So with this void of information, CCMA established the Engineering Group Project. The study has recently been completed and published. California's SB 198 law requires all industrial facilities to maintain an ongoing safety training program for all employees.

Preserving the history of the foundry industry in California. This important heritage needs to be studied, understood, and preserved for future generations. The CCMA Annual Meeting in May is the largest gathering of foundry owners and managers on the West Coast. The first meeting was held in Sacramento in 1977 and continues to be one of the most important informational and personal gatherings within the metal casting industry.
