Governor's Pacific Rim Safety and Health Conference

     The Governor's Pacific Rim Safety and Health Conference is just around the corner on April 16-18, 2012, at the Hawaii Convention Center.  The Conference is always an important event that provides insightful world-class discussions of various issues related to safety and health.  The biennial conference happens only in even years so if you don't go this month, it will be 2014 before you'll have access to this kind of expertise right here in own back yard.
     The Conference is co-sponsored by the American Society of Safety Engineers  (ASSE) and to get the details of the almost 90 programs and 100 exhibitors check out the ASSE website at http://www.asse.org/.
      There is guaranteed to be something for everyone in the program arena and all for a reasonable price.  The full conference fee of $475, includes all programs of the conference and lunch and refreshments for the three days.  Four or more attending from the same company and the price is lowered to $400 per attendee.  For those that can't afford to attend the whole conference,  there is free admission to the exhibitors on Tuesday, April 17, from 1p.m. to 4 p.m to tour the products and services offered.  Details can be found at the Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Division of the DLIR.  See http://hawaii.gov/labor/hiosh/free-admission-to-pac-rim-conference-exhibits.  Hope you will attend and let  me know your comments.
