Health and Safety in the 21st Century Oregon Workplace
On April 28th, 1998, CROET sponsored a symposium addressing health and safety
in the Oregon workplace of the 21st century. The symposium, which was held drew
together leaders from industry, government, and labor. The overview below outlines
the organization of the symposium.
The Honorable Neil Goldschmidt and Graham Slater from the Oregon Employment Department have kindly consented
to have their remarks appear on our website. We have summarized the discussions which took place during
the productive working lunch groups.
We look forward to hearing from you. A final report of the key issues will
be posted on this website and be provided to the Symposium participants.
