Recent innovations have made corded window coverings safer. But how do we know if the products we fabricate, sell, and install are cord safety compliant?
In this Trivantage Shop Talk webinar, “Understanding Changes to the Cord Safety Standards,” Susan Woodcock of Workroom Tech will share the latest updates to the American National Standard for Safety of Corded Window Covering Products, and what that means for interior design and custom workroom businesses.
The webinar will take place on Nov. 19 from 1:00-2:15 p.m. and is open to all members of WCAA and Trivantage Plus, the industry’s first customer membership program. If you’re not a Trivantage Plus member and would like to join the Shop Talk, email Lisa Campbell (lcampbell@trivantage.com).
