The IJAS Policy and Procedure Manual has been updated and is valid through August 2026. If you are unsure about a safety issue, please contact your sponsor first. Sponsors may contact the Regional IJAS Chair if they have questions. Regional Chairs can address many safety issues and concerns. Regional Chairs may forward requests for exemptions and questions to the SRC (scientific review committee) or the safety coordinator.
