Effective August 26, 2020:
Due to West Virginia University regulations during COVID-19, the Safety Management Symposium that was scheduled for September 23-25 has been canceled. We regret any inconvenience. Please continue to monitor this website for further updates.
In 2017, an estimated 127,300 preventable injury-related deaths occurred in homes and communities, or about 75% of all preventable injury-related deaths that year, according to the National Safety Council. Many organizations are starting to identify safety at home as a critical impact on overall productivity and rising medical costs and this year’s symposium we’ll have national speakers addressing how to raise awareness to change behaviors at home.
WVU has produced many highly regarded safety management professionals able to address the needs of stakeholders in West Virginia and the surrounding region in such areas as construction, insurance, federal and state government, academia, healthcare, manufacturing, mining, pharmaceuticals and transportation.
Attendance is limited to 150 attendees and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
