Summer is in full swing here with the hot temperatures and humidity outside. The month of August seems to be the hottest and driest month of the summer. Staying hydrated each day will help to get through this hot month. Make sure your employees understand the importance of staying hydrated both at work and on the weekend when doing work around the house.
The next Alabama Chapter of ASSP meeting will be Friday August 18, 2023 at the AGC Facility on Grantswood Road in Irondale, AL. Meeting starts at 11:30 so come and enjoy the presentation and lunch. If you can’t make it in person then zoom in to the meeting.
The Governor’s Safety and Health Conference will be here at the end of the month at the Perdido Resort in Orange Beach, AL. The attendance window has closed. The vendor area is full with over 80 vendors at the show. If you have never been to this conference, consider it for next year as it is a very good S&H conference here in the State of Alabama and well liked by the attendees who come from all over the country.
We are requesting that our members become more involved with our chapter by participating on one of our committees including Membership, Government Affairs, and Programs. Anyone interested in volunteering to Chair one of these committees please let an executive committee member know. We would also welcome anyone who wants to assist with the development of our April 2024 recognition banquet for all our members as well as a committee for a possible fall half day seminar.
If anyone plans to sit for the ASP or CSP exams this fall or next spring let the executive committee members know. We would be interested in setting up a study group to help you prepare for these exams. If we have enough response, we will setup routine study sessions and discuss topics that are covered on the exams.
Be safe this summer and hope to see you at the next Alabama Chapter meeting on August 18, 2023 as well as the Governor’s Safety & Health Conference.
Thomas Ten Eyck, CSP
Chapter President
