Happy spring!

I’m optimistic that it is right around the corner. With spring comes career days at the area high schools. I am looking for a couple volunteers for the following career talks.  Forest Hills Northern (2/21) or FH Central (2/26). This works well if two people can attend. I have a Powerpoint presentation you can use. Along with that I have found the students love the workplace incident stories..... and it seems that the gorier the better! If you are interested in sharing your passion for the safety field with these kids let me know as soon as possible.  Plan on attending the February 21st meeting. Originally, we were going to have a joint meeting with the WMIHA. Instead we will be learning from Dave Huizen, CIH just what industrial hygiene is all about, what we can do as safety professionals to make the inside environment better, how to investigate an employee’s
IH related complaint and when its time to call in the big guns...an Industrial Hygienist. Thanks to Kevin Roehling and Berends Hendricks Stuit Insurance Agency for sponsoring this meeting.
