Partners with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration are co-sponsoring the virtual Pacific Coast Safety Fest from March 14-17 to promote best workplace practices to prevent illnesses, injuries and fatalities.
OSHA collaborates with the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health and Nevada State Occupational Safety to raise awareness about protecting workers.
“More than 4,700 workers were fatally injured in the United States in 2020, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics," James D. Wulff, regional administrator in San Francisco, said. "Tragically, most of these incidents were preventable.”
The virtual meeting offers an opportunity to increase their knowledge of workplace safety and health issues.
The event is offered to anyone living in Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii, Guam, Pacific Territories and American Samoa.
Attendants must register for the event, but participation is free.
Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Douglas L. Parker will kick off the event on March 14 with Wulff and OSHA officials based in Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada.
Pacific Coast Safety Fest is co-sponsored by the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration Region 9’s Alliance Partners: the OSHA Training Institute Education Centers at Arizona State University, California State University Dominguez Hills, Chabot-Las Positas Community College District and University of California San Diego.
