GCG proudly sponsors the AIOH Virtual Symposium 2020

GCG are proud to sponsor the upcoming AIOH Virtual Symposium, which is being held from 30 November to 3 December 2020 in a new online format.

Now in its 40th year, the event brings together hygienists and allied professionals to promote the science and practice of addressing health hazards in the workplace. This year’s event will focus on the important trends, needs, and research that impact worker health.

The AIOH is the backbone of our technical profession, and we value its contribution to the betterment of our people and industry as a whole. We value the support and community offered by the AIOH, and are looking forward to the year ahead and continuing to support the progression of the occupational hygiene profession. This event is a highlight of our year, pushing us to learn and be better at what we do.

With more than 40 national and international speakers and keynotes, the symposium will provide attendees with an engaging program across a range of current and emerging occupational health and hygiene topics.

GCG’s senior occupational hygienist, Luke Ripper, will be speaking at the Symposium about raising workers’ awareness of respirable dust exposure using real-time monitoring and video analysis. Please tune in to Luke’s session on Wednesday 2 December 2020 at 3:35pm.

GCG has supported this event for the past 14 years, and after a challenging year, we’re looking forward to exploring emerging technologies and trends and discussing the exciting future of occupational hygiene. 

See you there!
