    Come one, come all, to the greatest show in Wallingford!

    We have an exciting meeting coming up quickly, May 8th, at the
    Yankee Silversmith Inn, starting at 5:30 for cocktails, 6pm dinner,
    then the meeting.

    Our presenter will be Cheryl Fields, an epidemiologist who teaches
    toxicology at Yale, and has completed an intensive, exhaustive
    review of current evidence of the effects of elemental Mercury! It
    will be very interesting and very "up-to-date" with the latest and
    greatest information available!

    So, everyone should come to hear this presentation, and also consume scrumptious, delectable dinner choices, with an exciting surprise dessert!

    The dinner choices are Chicken Asparagus (topped with Portobello
    mushrooms, roma tomatoes, serves scampi style), Roasted Sirloin of Beef (with natural pan gravy and mushrooms), and Roast Pork Loin (stuffed with sweet sausage & cornbread and topped with apple, walnut cider glaze, but no mushrooms). I know that everyone is very excited about this.

    The cost, as usual, will be $25, and you can contact me (either by e-
    mail or calling 203-929-3473) or contact Denese Deeds (d.deeds@ih-sc.com  or calling 203-929-3473) to let us know what you're going to have for dinner.

    So, I hope to see everyone there! If anyone needs directions to the
    Yankee Silversmith, located at 1033 North Colony Rd (Route 5) in
    Wallingford, you can check out their website at
    www.yankeesilversmith.com or e-mail me and I'll be thrilled to help.

    Also, save the date for the fall all-day now being held in
    Sturbridge, CT, November 9th.

  • March 21, 2007: Control Banding - Application in the Real World presented by Anne Bracker, MPH, CIH, University of Connecticut Health Center, Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine

     

    Control Banding is a chemical risk management model that has received
    international acclaim. The model can be used to complement the
    traditional air sampling approach to risk assessment so that limited health and safety dollars can be directed to exposure prevention and controls.
    Connecticut was one of the first states to provide training on how to use
    this control focused tool. Health and safety committees from a diverse
    group of workplaces attended a series of Control Banding workshops. Through several “hands on” interactive activities workshop participants learned how to use COSHH Essentials, a Control Banding toolkit. The focus of the presentation will be on the participants’ experiences with using the model.


    In addition, case studies will be presented by two of the health and safety committees that attended the program.
