2021 Southern Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Conference
Tentatively Scheduled Online for October 19-21, 2021
2020 was a very difficult year, but your ASSP Southern Oregon Chapter has worked hard to provide ways to engage in safety and health training and networking virtually throughout the year. 2021 is starting out more optimistic and we are hopeful that some of the Oregon Health Authority COVID19 controls will be loosened, however, our conference planning begins in January and with the unknowns about the timing of things, we cannot risk booking an in-person event and then have the possibility of having it cancelled. For this reason we will be moving forward with an online conference. I know this news may be disappointing to some, however, we are excited to make the most of the hand we are dealt. This will not be like your average webinar. We are working to make this event as engaging, exciting and valuable for you as possible with fun activities, some nationally recognized speakers, prizes and gifts, and relevant safety topics to keep you on top of safety strategies for your organization. Our plan is to continue to develop the Safety Committee University and include it in our conference lineup this year as well.
Stay tuned for more information and marketing materials as we get closer to the event!
Sincerely,
Michael Hill
Southern Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Conference Chair

Southern Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Conference
October 15-17, 2019
Ashland Hills Hotel
Another successful Safety and Health conference is under our belt. Of course, the sincerest thank-yous to everyone who helped in any and every way. So many of you helped in so many ways. Throughout the conference it was clear to me that our Southern Oregon chapter, OR-OSHA, planning committee, our speakers, room monitors, sponsors, exhibitors, and host organizations made the conference a huge success. There was a moment on Wednesday when Jennifer Self at Ashland Hills asked me about where our attendees come from. As I described our attendees to her, it became more remarkable to me as to how diverse a group we serve at our conference. Our conference can reach employees at every single level within a company. We reach employees with messages relevant to the newest frontline laborer to the most senior executives within a company. This is not usually a simple task. But our community does it regularly and effectively. Over and over. Take, for example, our lifesaving award event on Tuesday. What can a new employee learn from the lessons learned at Sherm’s Food 4 Less last December? What can a top executive learn from the same event? Safety issues and topics transcend industry categories and work roles. The same principles of leadership, accountability, learning teams, and hazard mitigation approaches apply to any organization. The specifics vary from industry to industry. However, the universal challenge that our conference tackles head-on is the very attitude toward the safety challenges we all face. As we wrap up another conference cycle, we begin another. This next conference will mark thirty years of safety training excellence for our region. We are already beginning to assemble our conference planning committee for next year. I invite you to join us as we pour it on for the thirtieth time.
