Washington, D.C. – An all new OSHA, General Industry (10-hour) Course, specific to meat industry applications, will debut at the 2007 Conference on Worker Safety, Health & Human Resources, April 2-4, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center.

The course was developed by experts from across the industry and from academia. It is the first OSHA General Industry training course to address specific meat and poultry industry exposures and standards.
