What Is The School?The 7th Annual North Carolina Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) School is a unique forum for environmental, health and safety (EHS) professionals to obtain individualized information about the latest issues affecting their businesses in North Carolina. At a single location, the school offers seven classroom sessions addressing current issues in air quality, water quality, solid waste, hazardous waste, hazardous material transportation, occupational safety and health, energy, and sustainability.. Within each session there are three concurrent tracks with courses ranging from very basic topics for those just starting out to advanced topics for the more experienced attendee. Over 30 recognized experts on complying with North Carolina’s environmental, health and safety laws and regulations will be teaching the twenty-one classroom sessions. During the school attendees personalize their schedule by choosing any combination of seven classroom courses to attend from the list of twenty-one courses being offered. This unique training format allows each attendee the flexibility to select a schedule tailored to his or her current interests and needs. The school format also is ideal for attendees responsible for compliance with several EHS laws or regulations or those simply seeking cross-training on an unfamiliar EHS issue. In addition to the concurrent classroom courses, the school will begin with a “Directors’ Forum” on Monday, August 25, 2008. This general session will feature presentations by Division Directors from NC DENR and NC Labor about the current and future activities of their divisions. The school will close on Tuesday, August 26, 2008, with a luncheon and keynote speaker. Between classes the attendees can visit the Exhibition Hall featuring leading vendors offering a full range of EHS products and services to check out and compare. |
