Register now for Purdue annual safety meeting and fair on Nov. 8

Purdue’s Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) department is hosting its Annual Safety Chair Meeting on Nov. 8 from 8-11 a.m. in Stewart Center, Room 214. Additionally, a safety fair with a variety of vendor displays will be held from 7:30-11:30 a.m. in Room 218. EHS and public safety representatives will also be available to answer questions about environmental and occupational safety needs. 

Departmental safety representatives and building deputies are invited to attend both the meeting and fair to learn more about safety information and best practices. Faculty and staff are also welcome to attend. Registration is required by Nov. 1.

“We look forward to this annual event to connect with our safety network and as a means to help spread awareness and knowledge about proper safety measures and procedures,” said Eric Butt, senior director of Environmental Health and Safety. “It takes effort by everyone to build the university safety culture and to be compliant with local, state and federal regulations.”

The meeting will be split into three sessions. The first session, at 8 a.m., will feature an occupational safety theme, targeting a nonacademic audience. The second session, beginning at 10 a.m., will apply to all audiences. The third and final session, at 10:15-11 a.m., will have a laboratory theme targeting an academic research audience. The full program agenda is available online.

Environmental Health and Safety is part of the Administrative Operations organization. The organization supports the university through safe, reliable and transformative services. Ensuring members of the Boilermaker community put safety first while conducting their job responsibilities is just one of many ways the organization powers Purdue.
