The CSSE 2012 Professional Development Conference is shaping up to be yet another example of programming excellence!
With four powerful keynote sessions and an expanded program of 47 workshops (including six half-day workshops) delivered by international experts, this is an educational and networking opportunity you won’t want to miss.

And have we mentioned the wonderful location?  Niagara Falls, Ontario

Imagine being this close to such a natural wonder!  Our host hotel (the largest, most luxurious, 4 Diamond, Falls view accommodations in Niagara Falls), the Sheraton on the Falls, is located directly across from the extraordinary spectacle that is the roaring, tumbling, magnificent Falls … right in the heart of Niagara’s premier Falls view tourist district.  At night, the magnificent Niagara Falls are spectacularly lit and seasonal fireworks ignite the dark sky.  The CSSE 2012 PDC & Exhibition really is the must-attend conference of the year.

Be sure to save the CSSE 2012 PDC & Exhibition dates: September 9 – 12, 2012 in Niagara Falls … One Wonder After Another.

Travel safe and see you there!

Good Morning.  I have come across many safety people who I would consider to be health and safety heroes but there is room for all of us to be heroes.
Carry on with what we do so that we can create a safe workplace and remember our duty towards people at work and those affected by work.  From IOSH in the UK, I wish you all well.  Thank you.

However, you don’t have to miss out on the valuable professional development opportunity completely!  Recordings and handout materials from most conference sessions will be made available through the CSSE Live Learning Center following the conference.  Enjoy up to 45 hours of educational audio content synchronized to presentation slides, as well as downloadable MP3 files and presenter handouts.   Sign up now for the Conference Delegate price of $99 until September 16th by sending an email to conference@csse.org    (Post conference price will be $299)

Many people have asked us to offer additional courses in conjunction with
the Professional Development Conference in beautiful Whistler, BC. We listened
and put them together!

These courses are part of the Certified Health & Safety Consultant
(CHSC) Designation Program. All CSSE courses are 2 days, hands-on and practical courses that will give you a leading edge in the OH&S field. For a
description of each course, please visit www.csse.org.

Space is limited and no additional offerings will be made available at
conference time. To avoid disappointment, don’t delay and register today.

If the course is closed online, please contact the CSSE office to be placed
on a waiting list.

Don’t miss your opportunity to network with top safety professionals from across Canada. The full conference brochure and registration form are available online.

This is the one conference I look forward to attending each year because it gives me the opportunity to interact with and learn from colleagues and peers from across the country and around the world, in a learning environment tailored to the health, safety and environmental practitioner.

It’s our opportunity to learn from each other, and to share knowledge and experiences – both formally and informally.  The CSSE PDC is an ideal way to meet people who share your passion for your chosen field of practice – people who may one day be your colleagues, your subject-matter specialists – even your mentors.  Or perhaps someone just embarking on a career in this field is looking to be mentored by you?

The interactive workshops and concurrent sessions in this year’s program have been carefully selected based on feedback from previous conferences – and the program schedule has been balanced to provide learning opportunities for practitioners across multiple industries and at various levels of experience.

Social media has become an important communication medium, and the CSSE is continually exploring innovative ways to incorporate its use in interactions between and among members.  Having an opportunity to make personal connections can help to enhance those online conversations.  The CSSE PDC is the perfect venue for building your network of professional colleagues. I look forward to meeting you in Whistler!
