February Meeting

From Glenn: Hello Ambassador Alliance Roundtable folks, 

Our next CSREM Roundtable Ambassador Alliance safety professional development meeting is Tuesday, February 08th at 10:00. This month’s topic is Sleep.

Dr. Brian Morris, the Medical Director of OHS Training & Consulting, Inc., returns to the CSREM Roundtable Alliance, this time, in person.  Sleep will be the topic.  We spend one-third of our lives asleep, yet no one really knows why.  The agenda for the presentation “Sweet Dreams 😴” includes:

  • Sleep facts
  • What is sleep?
  • Why do we sleep?
  • Stages of sleep
  • Dreams-sweet or scary 
  • How much sleep do we need?
  • Sleep disorders (narcolepsy, sleep apnea)
  • Sleep deprivation: a construction safety risk
  • What can a construction employer do to address sleep deprivation?
  • Tips on how to get a good night’s rest

This presentation should be fun and informative.  Much of what we know about sleep is based more on speculation that it is on hard science; therefore, bring an open mind to the meeting. This February meeting is being co-sponsored and hosted by Nancy Hughes of OHSTC and Glenn Narrow of Greenwood Industries. The meeting is being held at The Doubletree Hotel, 201 Everett Ave, Chelsea, MA.  If ya get lost call Nancy on her cell phone 617-959-4414. NOTE: this Roundtable meeting will be held under the same COVID guidelines as last months in-seat meeting. Per usual and customary, please RSVP to Nancy Hughes of OHS Training & Consulting, Inc. at nancy.hughes@ohstc.us by noon-time this Friday 02/04/22 to ensure an accurate head-count is given to the hotel for catering menu and seating arrangements
