III. Events and Products
Training and Education
- Events
As noticed above, this past year started out reviewing comments and critiques of our Safety Expo
which was held at Lehigh University, located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on October 24, 2006. Since
the comments were extremely positive the members of this Alliance decided that it would be worth
our efforts to conduct another Expo, while still attempting to meet our obligation of quarterly
safety/health activities.
The later half of this past year has been organizing our efforts to prepare for our next Safety
Expo, which has been scheduled for May 20, 2008 at DeSales University in Center Valley,
Pennsylvania. This years topics will cover such topics as, NFPA 70E (more in-depth review), Event
Analysis and Review (aka Accident Investigation II), Confined Spaces, Drug and Alcohol Testing,
Respirators and Inhalation Matters, Workplace Safety Committee Operations, Hazard Awareness,
Lockout/Tagout and Scaffolding to name a few.

It is strongly recommended that this Alliance continue.
