The 2017 ISEA Annual Meeting promises to be an exciting venue for all things safety equipment, including advocacy, policy updates and connecting with safety equipment industry colleagues.

At the association’s annual Award Dinner, ISEA will honor Daniel K. Shipp, who honorably led the association for 25 years, with the Robert B. Hurley Distinguished Service Award.
There’s extra news to cover at the Annual Business Meeting and Speaker Sessions on November 30: ISEA’s new President, Charles D. Johnson, and his vision for the future of the association and opportunities for new collaborations and partnerships; the Safety Trends and Policy panel discussing the impact of regulatory activity on safety and health programs in key vertical industries; Lynn L. Bergeson, Managing Partner of Bergeson & Campbell, P.C., will discuss exploring Cal Prop 65 exemption for personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturers, and Jonathan Karl returns with an insider’s view on Washington D.C.
Dr. John Howard, director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will speak to the group, and OSHA has been invited. These agency leaders will discuss new developments within the agencies, and where federal safety standards are heading.
