NSC Plans Future Congresses & One Big Birthday -- Occupational Health & Safety

NSC Plans Future Congresses & One Big Birthday

Nov 05, 2009

No matter what final attendance numbers are reported for NSC's 2009 Congress & Expo, the prevailing atmosphere at the event in Orlando last week was one of optimism and forward-thinking in general. With the 100th anniversary of its existence as an organization just around the corner and its position as the host and provider of the largest safety show in the United States prevailing, that optimism seems warranted.

Next year's Congress & Expo convenes on the opposite coast in San Diego, Oct. 3-8. In 2011, it will be held in Philadelphia Oct. 30-Nov. 4. The show returns to Orlando again in 2012, Oct. 19-26, before heading home to Chicago in 2013 for the council's centennial celebration.

The MGC Simple Plus

The MGC Simple Plus is a simple-to-use, portable multi-gas detector that runs continuously for three years without needing to be recharged or routinely calibrated after its initial charge and calibration during manufacturing. The detector reliably tests a worksite’s atmosphere for hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and combustible gases (LEL). Additionally, it is durable enough to withstand the harshest treatment and environments, which is why it has an IP 68 rating.
