Fall Conference 2016

"READY for SAFETY?"

Embassy Suites Hotel, SeaTac/Tukwila

15920 W Valley Hwy, Seattle, Washington
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This year's Fall Conference is all about getting ready. Getting ready to successfully manage:

  • A rapidly changing regulatory landscape for federal and state workplace safety compliance, with new OSHA rules and policies going into effect this year covering electronic reporting of injuries, public reporting of injury data, post-accident drug testing policies, safety incentive programs, cost-of-living adjustments on penalties, and more
  • Workplace crises of all kinds that can arise in a split second and dramatically affect the workforce
  • Maintaining a strong injury and accident prevention culture while integrating the millennial generation to the workplace.
  • The move to greater prevention and protection through a VPP and other programs
  • A turbulent upcoming state legislative session  

Join us for a day of continuing education and networking, featuring key regulatory and corporate executives, legal experts, and industry thought leaders.
