NIOSH Announces August 22-24 PtD Conference in DC
From NIOSH –
Mark your calendars for the Prevention through Design (PtD) Conference hosted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
Prevention through Design: A New Way of Doing Business – Report on the National Initiative
August 22 – 24, 2011 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC.
The conference marks the mid-point of the PtD National Initiative; therefore, our goal is to take stock of the Nation’s progress in improving worker safety and health through the inclusion of prevention methods in all designs that impact workers. Progress will be reported through presentations showcasing research results, engineering education enhancements, successful stakeholder practices, and policy development and advancement. An additional goal of the conference is to identify areas that require additional focus.
