20th Annual Construction Safety and Health Conference and Expo

简介（由申请人提供）：自1991年以来，建筑安全委员会一直主办年度建筑安全会议。进入第20个年头，对于建筑安全和健康领域的研究人员来说，在这个会议上展示他们的研究成果，建立行业联系，讨论和规划概念性的R2P项目越来越受欢迎。由于大多数研究人员希望在短时间内（5 - 20分钟，而不是1 1/2 - 2 /2小时）进行报告，会议每天可以主持多达12或15个研究报告。由于房间和视听设备的租金不断增加，举办这些抽象演讲的费用很高。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。

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.
