20th Annual Construction Safety and Health Conference and Expo

简介(申请人提供)：建造业安全议会自1991年起主办建造业安全年会。进入第20个年头，建筑安全和健康领域的研究人员越来越希望在这次会议上展示他们的发现，建立行业联系，讨论和规划概念性R2P项目。由于大多数研究人员希望在很短的时间内(5-20分钟，而不是1 1/2-2 1/2小时)发表报告，会议每天可以主持多达12至15次研究报告。由于房间和视听设备租金不断上涨，主办这些抽象演示的成本很高。建筑安全委员会正在寻求财政支持，以支付他们年度活动的部分费用。 与公众健康相关：建造业安全议会自1991年以来一直主办建造业安全年会。与会者包括建筑承建商、安全专业人士、保险专业人士和其他建筑安全行业专业人士。在三天的时间里，会议赞助了70多个相关的建筑安全和健康会议，包括介绍公共卫生科学家和官员的研究成果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Construction Safety Council has been hosting the Annual Construction Safety Conference since 1991. Going into its 20th year, the event has become increasingly desirable for researchers in the construction safety and health arena to present their findings at this conference, make industry contacts and discuss and plan conceptual R2P projects. Due to the short (5 - 20 minutes as opposed to 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours) time- frame in which most researchers would like to present, the conference can host as many as 12 or 15 research presentations per day. The cost to host these abstract presentations is high as room and audio-visual equipment rental is continually increasing. The Construction Safety Council is asking for financial support to defray some of these costs at their annual event. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Construction Safety Council has been hosting the Annual Construction Safety Conference since 1991. Attendees include construction contractors, safety professionals, insurance professionals and other construction safety industry professionals. The conferences sponsors over 70 relevant construction safety and health sessions over the three day period, including presentations on research findings from public health scientists and officials.
