The
AIHA Chicago Local Section
invites you to attend an upcoming half
day professional development course and seminar at the
Morton Arboretum. See your friends and colleagues. Invite a
guest.
Are You Ready?
With SARS, Avian Flu,
and now H1N1, preparing for pandemics must be a part of
any company’s safety and health program. Is your
company ready to face a pandemic? Can your company
continue to function with the majority of its workforce
unable to come to work? How will you handle traveling?
How will your workers be protected while in the
workplace when they come into contact with their fellow
workers and the public? How do health care workers
protect themselves when coming into contact with
infectious patients? What is the latest information on
what precautions to be taken, and the administration of
vaccines? During this half day PDC, industry and
government experts will converge to discuss current
issues and developments.
