Mill safety and occupational health is everyone’s priority. But how is it actually achieved? This free APA Safety and Health Workshop will seek answers to that important question. Organized by the APA Safety and Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), the workshop will include guest speakers who will talk about lessons learned from safety related incidents, an information-sharing forum designed to generate discussion of best practices and ideas for improving mill safety programs and performance records.
