Take part in a live, interactive Web conference from the convenience of your office on Tuesday, October 21, 2003, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Fatigue is a critical issue for workers who operate heavy equipment or drive during work. Like drugs and alcohol, sleep deprivation can impair judgment, awareness and reaction time, leading to injury in the workplace and on the road (a fact underscored by the State Patrol's recent report on the crash that killed hockey legend Herb Brooks). The loss to U.S. businesses is estimated to be at least $18 billion each year. This seminar contains critical information for manufacturers, supervisors, managers, human resource professionals and those responsible for DOT regulations. (NOTE: Rule revisions regarding driver fatigue will be issued within the next 18 months.) It's easy and convenient! All you need is a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to view the visuals. Co-workers can participate too all for one tuition fee! ($199 before October 14; $214 after October 14). For more details about the seminar, see www.mnsafetycouncil.org/courses/webcast.htm. To register, see www.krm.com/regonline/mscvcregs.nsf/msc8023-0.
