This series will present case studies of museums or indigenous communities working in partnership with Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety professionals to increase safe practice with their collections as relates to pesticides, silicosis and biocide related risks. The museum field increasingly has experience working with industrial hygienists, but adding epidemiologists to such collaborations is less charted territory with much potential.
Our goal is to share this information in a manner accessible to a mix of stakeholders and professionals so the format is a free, virtual series of presentations, though registration is required.
A list of presenters and their topics as well as registration information can be found here.
