The Minnesota Safety & Health Conference, May 14 - 16 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, offers you comprehensive educational sessions, great networking opportunities and the opportunity to meet safety vendors face to face in our exhibit hall. The conference has expanded once again, with 13 more sessions than last year and no increase in registration fees! Find details online at http://www.minnesotasafetycouncil.org/conf/08index.cfm, including complete descriptions of all breakout sessions, half-and full-day courses, registration information and more. Are You a Supervisor With Safety and Health Responsibilities? Are you a supervisor with full or part-time employee safety and health responsibilities within your organization? We can help! Our NEW Safety Management for Supervisors workshop (March 31-April 1, June 2-3) helps supervisors become effective safety leaders. You'll learn about hazard types, analysis and control, safety inspections, accident response and investigation, and OSHA compliance. We'll also discuss how to apply safety management, communications and training principles and how to influence employee behavior. Upon completion, you'll be awarded the Supervisor Safety Certificate. This workshop can also be customized and brought on-site to your location. Call 651-228-7305 for details. Re-energize Your Training NOW! Looking for a smart and effective way to re-energize or completely revamp your compliance training without a huge time commitment? We've helped over 400 trainers do just that in the last year. With our Train-The-Trainer PLUS workshops, not only do you get a comprehensive video-based training package, you also receive the instruction to implement it - for just the price of the program!

"Change Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks" The switch to daylight saving time happens during the wee hours of the morning next Sunday, March 9. In addition to using this event as a trigger to change smoke detector batteries, the American Public Health Association (APHA) is encouraging people to check their emergency preparedness kits. You'll find a 14-page toolkit from the APHA on the National Safety Council Web site, with individual pages suitable as handouts for employees at http://www.getreadyforflu.org/clocksstocks/stockpilingtoolkit.pdf. The toolkit answers common questions and provides checklists and other resources designed to help people be self-sufficient for several days during an emergency.
