OEHS professionals can participate in industry excellence through this highly competitive PDC program

“The City of Creativity” will host the premier conference and exposition for occupational and environmental health and safety professionals (OEHS). Each year, AIHce offers unrivaled educational opportunities — and 2009 will be no different, with over 70 PDCs and more than 100 technical sessions that will focus on current OEHS issues. AIHA offers this competitive program to promote OEHS excellence by offering fresh, dynamic solutions through its superior professional education program. PDCs provide information on new standards, regulations, and innovations in technology; traditional occupational and safety issues; new chemical and biological threats; and upcoming career challenges.

To request a printed brochure, contact Bruce Hermit, AIHA’s continuing education coordinator, at (703) 846-0752 or bhermit@aiha.org. AIHA’s online PDC submission site for AIHce 2009 is www.aiha.org/callforpdcs.htm.
