Greetings!

We had a great meeting at the end of February on Industrial Hygiene. I think everyone learned quite a bit.  Thanks to our speaker Dave Huizen, and Kevin Roehling
and Berends, Hendrick’s, Stuit for their sponsorship.  We do not have a meeting scheduled for March, however everyone is invited to attend a joint session at the Michigan Safety Conference on April 15, 2008. The session will begin at 4:30 p.m. See the attachment with regard to the room number and RSVP information. The cost for this session is $15.00 and will include food.  The Michigan Safety Conference runs April 15-16 and will feature sessions on topics such as biological monitoring, worker fitness, infection control, ergonomics and fleet protection to name a few.
