33rd Governor’s
Safety and Health Conference to be held May 8-12 in Covington
FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 30, 2017) - Co-hosted by the Kentucky
Labor Cabinet and the Kentucky Health and Safety Network, Inc., the 33rd Annual
Governor’s Safety and Health Conference will be held at the Northern Kentucky
Convention Center from May 8 – 12, 2017. This year will mark the first time that
the conference has been held in northern Kentucky.
The Conference brings together
occupational safety and health professionals from the fields of business,
labor, education and government. It is the largest gathering of occupational
safety and health professionals in the Commonwealth. Its purpose is to raise
awareness and promote safety and health in the workplace. These goals are
accomplished by: (1) hosting workshops on numerous, timely workplace safety
subjects, including courses necessary for occupational safety and health
certification; (2) providing a forum for occupational safety and health
professionals to gather and exchange ideas; and (3) provide vendors with a
venue to showcase the latest in occupational safety and health products and
equipment. Attendees can experience hands-on, interactive training
opportunities, attend multiple certification courses, visit a state-of-the-art
exhibition hall, take part in facility tours, and enjoy multiple networking
opportunities.
The Conference also recognizes outstanding
performance in the area of safety and health through the Governor’s Safety and
Health Award. At last
year’s conference, 48 companies were recognized for earning this Award. In
order to become eligible for the Award, businesses must keep employees
injury-and-illness-free for at least 250,000 consecutive hours depending on the
number of employees.
