Oregonians and those who live near our borders are fortunate to have access to many high quality conferences providing a plethora of technical sessions addressing occupational health and safety. Here at OccHealthSci and the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center, we are committed to supporting our partners at Oregon OSHA at these educational opportunities, whether by exhibiting, sponsoring or sharing our knowledge.
We are pleased to share news about Oregon OSHA’s Spanish-language conference addressing workers and their needs. This conference, like the others, relies on many organizational and technical partners to be successful. This event, like its pre-pandemic predecessor, will be held at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem all day on November 8, 2022. All sessions will be presented in Spanish. Presenters include workplace health and safety professionals, medical providers, and other
