For three-plus decades, the Annual Governor’s Safety and Health Conference and Exposition, co-sponsored by the Kentucky Safety and Health Network, Inc. and the Kentucky Labor Cabinet, has provided an experience specifically designed to increase awareness of workplace safety and health as well as enhance the professional development of occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals. The 35th Annual event is May 6-9, 2019 and returns to the Galt House in Louisville. In response to popular demand, the 2019 Conference and Exposition features a new schedule! The new schedule offers participants the same great benefits the Conference always provides as well as greater flexibility balancing work and conference attendance. Check out the conference schedule page!
The 2019 theme is “Safety Time”. Whether at work or away, wherever we may be, our safety, the safety of our loved ones, and the safety of those in our communities are our first consideration, every minute of every day. If you share this passion, then you believe Safety Time is all the time!
The Conference and Exposition is Kentucky’s industry-defining event for OSH development. Engross yourself in interactive training opportunities, compelling keynote speakers, and breakout sessions that address a wide variety of OSH topics– all presented by top safety and health professionals. In addition, see vendors highlighting innovative OSH products, technologies, and services at the largest gathering of its kind in Kentucky.
The 2019 event kicks off May 6 with cost-free technical pre-conference courses to full conference registrants. Pre-conference courses provide participants information to take back to her or his facility and immediately put into practice. Participants will receive training certification, including OSHA Certificate of Completion for OSHA Training Institute Education Center courses! Keep an eye on the website for more information.
Networking opportunities abound at every Governor’s Conference and Exposition, and that continues in 2019. Both the Conference and the Exposition facilitate an environment where attendees can develop and strengthen a network of contacts with individuals that share a common OSH interest. Dedicated time is built into the conference schedule to facilitate networking; this is your opportunity to share ideas, challenges, and make connections!
KSHN continues to invest in tomorrow’s OSH professionals through the Scholastic Achievement for Education Awards, or SAFE Awards. SAFE Awards are presented at the conference to undergraduate and graduate college students pursuing a degree in occupational safety and health, industrial hygiene, or a closely related field.
KSHN began a significant initiative in 2017, OSHA 10-Hour Training for Career and Technical Education, or OSHA 10-4 CTE. OSHA 10-4-CTE is a partnership between KSHN, the Kentucky Department of Education’s Office of Career and Technical Education, and Eastern Kentucky University’s OSHA Training Institute Education Center. OSHA 10-4-CTE provides a means for secondary school educators throughout Kentucky to earn Authorized OSHA Outreach Trainer status. The educators in turn provide authorized OSHA 10-Hour General Industry and/or OSHA 10-Hour Construction training to high school seniors in manufacturing and construction pathways at secondary schools across the state. Some educators also offer OSHA 30-Hour training. The students graduate high school with an OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour card as well as invaluable OSH training! The initiative is a significant undertaking that has a substantial cost. However, its value is immense. To date, sixty-one (61) high school educators have earned OSHA Authorized Outreach Trainer status and over 700 high school students have earned the 10-Hour or 30-Hour card! And the numbers of high school students receiving the training continues to climb almost exponentially!
The stage is set for a one-of-a-kind 2019 conference experience designed to empower individuals and organizations to create safer workplaces. Gain the professional development you need to keep yourself not only relevant, but also ahead of the curve. It is the safety and health conference and exposition you and your team should not miss. It is Safety Time!
