The 2022 Workers’ Safety Conference is set for Thursday, Sept. 29, at the University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB).
The non-profit conference is hosted by the Regional Industrial Safety Alliance (RISA), which consists of local safety professionals, along with the Arkansas Department of Labor and Licensing and the US Department of Labor.
The purpose of the event is to enhance workplace hazard recognition and strengthen a culture of workplace safety, thereby reducing employee injuries and illnesses, according to RISA.
Some of the topics planned for discussion include updates on OSHA regulations as well as a presentation on hazard recognition.
While the conference is intended for hourly employees, RISA encourages area companies, public agencies, and businesses to send members of their safety committees, supervisors or managers with safety responsibilities, and any others who might benefit from basic safety training. Nursing home administrators and nurses may also use this training for continuing education purposes.
The registration fee of $25 covers lunch and conference materials. Pre-registration is encouraged, as this allows the event organizers to plan accordingly. Cancellations will be accepted until two days prior to the conference and substitutions are permitted.
