Marshall University\u2019s Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, in partnership with the Occupational Safety and Health Program Advisory Board, will host a \u201cSafety for All\u201d conference from April 30 – May 1 in Huntington. The event will bring together safety professionals, industry leaders and students to explore the evolving landscape of occupational health and safety.<\/p>\n

The event features a full day of expert-led sessions from 9 a.m. \u2013 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 1, at the Brad D. Smith Foundation Hall. The conference will focus on timely and impactful topics, including OSHA compliance, suspension trauma and mental health in the workplace. A golf outing and welcome reception will precede the conference on April 30 at Creekside Golf Course in Lavalette and the Brad D. Smith Business Center, respectively. The golf tournament will begin with a shotgun start at noon, with all proceeds benefitting student scholarships in the Occupational Safety and Health Program at Marshall. The pre-conference reception will be held from 6 \u2013 7:30 p.m., offering an opportunity for early networking in a casual setting.<\/p>\n

Designed to spark dialogue and inspire collaboration, the conference will offer attendees the opportunity to network with professionals from across the country and engage with some of the field\u2019s most forward-thinking leaders.<\/p>\n

James McIntosh, chair of Marshall\u2019s Weisberg Department of Mechanical Engineering, says the goal is to build and sustain a culture of safety that meets the complex challenges of today\u2019s workplaces.<\/p>\n

“As we navigate a rapidly changing world, the mission of a safety professional \u2014 to prevent and protect \u2014 has never been more critical,” said McIntosh. “By fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing and forward-thinking solutions, we are empowering the very individuals who work tirelessly to ensure our safety.”<\/p>\n

Marshall University\u2019s Occupational Safety and Health Program, nationally recognized for its excellence, plays a key role in hosting the event, reinforcing the university\u2019s commitment to leadership and innovation in safety education.<\/p>\n
