SEHSA

As with every SEHSA fall conference in Lake Placid, incredibly scenery, fall foliage, and fresh mountain air are sure to guarantee an incredible relaxing and enjoyable conference experience! The fall conference in Lake Placid is a perfect place to soak in the natural beauty while renewing old friendships and developing new ones. 

The conference committee has been working hard to bring you an exceptional conference for professional development, networking, and relaxation!

Professional Development


The conference will have the following professional development workshop:

Chemical Reactivity Hazards: Laboratory Scale Recognition and Control - Dr. Neal Langerman, Advanced Chemical Safety

Description:
The objective of the workshop is to provide participants with the knowledge and skill to screen processes for potential hazards, recognize when reactive hazards are present, and implement appropriate controls to reduce the risk of an incident associated with the hazards. Workshop attendees will review case studies of actual incidents and do screening examples in order to understand the screening and recognition process. Group discussions of control methods will allow participants to share their experiences and to evaluate methods for controlling reactivity risks.

This is the same workshop that is offered at the American Chemical Society annual meeting for $375!  Cost to attend this workshop: $50

Registration is limited to 40 attendees.

Technical presentations will follow cover these topics:

• Art Safety
• Asbestos Issues
• Chemical Reactivity
• Construction Safety
• Ethics in EHS
• ICS 400
• Open Forum
• Sustainability
• Theater Safety

Networking and Social Events


After we spend the day learning about new regulations, best management practices, and refresher on our basic technical skills, then we will move to networking among our peers and take in all that Lake Placid has to offer!


The conference committee is tentatively planning on the following social events:

SESHA participants (including Alumni) will be divided evenly into teams and compete in a “round robin” curling and broomball tournament and have the option to skate towards the end. So bring your skates if you have them. Individual fun awards recognizing the most accurate curler, fastest goal, longest shot, best goaltender and anything else worthy of an award, will be celebrated during the final awards ceremony!

Monday, November 8, 2010   

6:30pm:  On entering the 1980 Rink Herb Brooks Arena, the teams will be briefed on the event, hand in signed waivers and receive helmets before the competition begins. 

6:40pm: The Miracles begin! Careful curling on one half of the rink and competitive broomball on the other. Be sure to bring a camera to capture the Kodak moments! A rotation will see the teams play each other in both sports once.

8:30pm: A tour of the Olympic Museum is included in the time between sessions and with the fun and games concluded, with results of the tournament in hand, individual prize and awards ceremony will take place.


By the end of proceedings the group will understand how the Olympic Regional Development Authority is preserving the legacy of Winter Sports in Lake Placid, the venues it manages and corporate programs on offer. It is also hoped that the group will appreciate how rich Lake Placid is with history and how we continue to proudly call our region the Winter Sports Capital Of The World!
