Improving Workplace Safety through Education

The Governor’s Industrial Safety and Health Advisory Board is organized to prevent occupational injuries and illnesses among the employees across the state and to promote the healthful, safe, efficient and productive operation of industry within the state.

To accomplish this, we organize and host several educational conferences throughout the year, the largest of which is the annual Governor’s Industrial Safety and Health Conference. We invite you to join us at one of our events to learn about workplace safety and many new and innovative solutions to keeping workers safe and healthy.
