Over the last several years, there has been a renewed focus on the ANSI/ASSP Z590. 3 Standard, Prevention Through Design. But what does this really mean for employers and Industrial Hygiene/Occupational Safety/Environment, Health & Safety professionals? How do we effectively address occupational hazards and risks while designing, redesigning, and retrofitting processes? How do we increase productivity, while simultaneously decreasing costs of operation, and focusing reductions in injury/illness impacts? The answer is simple: INTEGRATION. This session will include a high-level discussion on INTEGRATING the elements of the ANSI/ASSP Z590. 3 Standard, Prevention Through Design for the IH/OS/EHS Professional.
