'OSHA Listens' Meeting Moved to March 4 -- Occupational Health & Safety

'OSHA Listens' Meeting Moved to March 4

Postponed by snow last week, the all-day event at Department of Labor headquarters in Washington, D.C., is already filled.

Feb 17, 2010

The safety profession's chance to share its recommendations and views with the top brass of OSHA is back on, scheduled for March 4 at U.S. Department of Labor headquarters in Washington, D.C. When OSHA postponed it last week because of heavy snow in the region, it said registrations for the event had been filled and are now closed.

A live webcast will be provided. The event is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. EST and continue until 6:30 p.m. EST.

Both ASSE and AIHA asked their members -- more than 40,000 safety and health professionals in all -- to send their comments to the respective Government Affairs directors, Dave Heidorn and Aaron Tripper, to inform the associations' comments at the meeting.

Vaask

Vaask (V-ahh-sk) is inspired by the Norwegian word for “wash” and embodies the desire for a more modern class of clean. The touchless hand sanitizing fixture provides a superior performance engineered for no drips, no mess. The laser sensor accurately dispenses sanitizer from the 2-liter sanitizer cartridge, refillable with any alcohol-based gel of your choice. Vaask can be customized to complement the design of any space and comes in three mounting options. 3
Ventis® Pro5

The Ventis Pro5 is the most flexible connected gas monitor on the market, giving you the power to protect workers from up to five gases, manage worker safety from remote locations, and simplify team communication to take the guesswork out of gas detection. It automatically shares real-time gas readings, man-down, and panic alarms between peers – meaning the entire team knows who is in danger and why. By sharing real-time data, workers can also maintain continuous communication without the need for additional infrastructure or devices. Visit us at AIHce booth #927 to learn more! 3
