Forum on Catastrophe Preparedness: Partnering to Protect Workplaces
Apr. 7, 2006; San Francisco, CA.
One hundred years after the catastrophic earthquake of 1906, earthquake risk and the risk of other catastrophes including terrorism continue to loom large for Californians and the nation. And as we have learned from September 11, the risk of a catastrophe while people are at work, and the risks to the workers who respond, require the urgent attention of employers, workers and policymakers. This conference brought together leaders in homeland security, emergency response, and occupational safety and health to discuss individual, worker and employer preparedness for catastrophic risks.
Conference on Building a Safer Workplace
Mar. 15, 2006; Harrisburg, PA.
Occupational accidents and illnesses often arise from complex interactions among workers, technology, the environment, and even organizational culture and history. This invitational conference brought together key stakeholders, from Pennsylvania and across the country, representing government, industry, and labor. Conference proceedings explored cutting-edge, multidisciplinary perspectives on improving occupational safety and health policy and helped to set the agenda for the RAND Center for Health and Safety in the Workplace for the coming years.
