IESO Supporting the 2011 KY Governor’s Safety Conference
IESO is working hard to support the upcoming 27th Annual Safety and Health Conference in Louisville, KY. On Tuesday, May 10, Drs. Keith Spencer and Scott Harris will conduct an 8-hour HAZWOPER refresher as a pre-conference workshop available at no cost to all registered conference attendees. Class size is limited, so register early. Successful attendees will receive a joint certificate from IESO, LLC and UNC-Chapel Hill.
On Wednesday, May 11, Dr. Harris will present “OSHA in Healthcare – Is a Storm Coming?” OSHA claims nosocomials to be among the leading causes of death in the United States, accounting for an estimated 1.7 million infections and 99,000 associated deaths in 2002. If accurate, hospital-acquired infections, these things you catch while you’re there for something else, kill more people in the U.S. every year than AIDS, drug overdoses, food-borne illness, murder, highway, rail and plane crashes, lightning, tornadoes, West Nile Virus and workplace fatalities COMBINED. This workshop explores OSHA coverage for Healthcare workers, the 2010 RFI, inspection rates and results and why OSHA may now be considering Healthcare a high-hazard general industry sector.

Join Us in Fort Lauderdale in January!
The 31st annual UNC Winter Institute is scheduled for January 31 to February 4, 2011 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The Institute is designed for industrial hygienists, safety and environmental managers, occupational physicians and nurses and anyone else involved in EHS management. 25+ courses will cover everything from regulations to industrial hygiene to environmental health, all eligible for recertification points toward your CHMM, CIH, CSP and other professional certs.
IESO will be there instructing Fundamentals of Environmental Health and the all-new OSHA 30-Hour General Industry for Healthcare course. Many healthcare personnel have noted that the standard 30-hour OSHA course has little in common with their needs, and so this course was designed from the ground up by IESO to meet the specific needs of the healthcare industry. Our first-of-its-kind course will familiarize you with applicable OSHA standards while focusing on hazard recognition and prevention. Special emphasis is placed on those areas that are the most hazardous, using OSHA standards as a guide. It meets all OSHA requirements for time and content, and attendees who successfully pass the course will receive their 30-hour completion card.
