Astoria, OR – According to the state officials, topics reportedly include everything from how to improve your safety culture and worker well-being to safety committees and how to address the most common chemical hazards in your workplace.
The 16th annual Blue Mountain Occupational Safety and Health Conference, which will be held June 3-4 at the Pendleton Convention Center, will also feature learning sessions in Spanish.
Employers are encouraged to take advantage of those sessions by sending staff members who would prefer to gain important safety and health knowledge in Spanish.
The conference is a collaborative effort by Oregon Occupational Safety and Health – a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services – Oregon SHARP Alliance, and employers and employees in northeast Oregon.
The two-day event, which includes several pre-conference workshops, offers an extended slate of topics in Spanish.
On Monday, June 3, workers who prefer to learn important safety and health information in Spanish will have many topics to choose from. Topics include hazard identification, slips, trips, and falls, fall protection, chemical safety, lockout/tagout, and machine guarding.
