The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Personal Protective Technology (PPT) Program and National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) will hold a stakeholder meeting on March 29, 2011, at the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh Airport.
NIOSH views the meeting as an opportunity for its employees and NIOSH grant recipients to interact with stakeholders about their and other workplace safety and health topics. Those interested in learning about current and anticipated PPE research and initiatives, and discussing directly with NIOSH their own current research projects and ideas for improvements in PPE research, should consider attending. The meeting will emphasize personal protective equipment (PPE) in Healthcare, Mining, Agriculture, and Public Safety, however, the information and technology is relevant to other industries and all stakeholders are encouraged to attend.
