We are pleased to announce that the 2011 ESOH Training Symposium will convene in Nashville’s Opryland Hotel Convention Center, 20-25 March 2011. Returning to Opryland will be a new experience.

Following the devastating floods weeks following the 2010 symposium,



Opryland is rebuilding to be even better than before.

Symposium details will be released in the coming weeks. Exhibitors may register beginning at NOON 8 SEPTEMBER. Student registration will begin 15 Nov. Hotel reservations will be linked from both registration sites – please do not register without using the established links after these days.

Welcome to the Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) Training Symposium website. This school reflects the Air Force Chief of Staff's transformation directive for an integrated ESOH Management System world-wide. Note that this is not a conference. This is a school that supports over 1,000 installation-level students who have the most impact on ESOH at the base and is done in a model AFSO21 cost saving program.

The symposium consolidates like training needs from across five major commands, reducing very costly duplicate efforts, course costs/overhead, while most importantly, significantly reducing the training footprint on AF operations. The symposium focuses on the operational (real-time) needs of personnel from Air Combat Command (ACC), AF Space Command (AFSPC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), AF Reserve Command (AFRC), Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Education and Training Command (AETC). Students include aircraft and ground systems maintenance, supply, transportation and storage, contracting, legal and public affairs, services, civil engineering, safety, and health.

This school is not open to the public. There is NO on-site registration. Students are registered by invitation only based on validated training need in their mission area. See "Who Can Attend" for more information.

The symposium is sponsored by ACC, AFSPC, AETC, ANG, AMC, and AFRC in partnership with the AF Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE), the AF Institute of Technology (AFIT), and with support from the AF School of Aerospace Medicine, U.S. Department of Labor OSHA Training Institute, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Instruction is provided by national academia from DoD, across Federal and state government, universities, and international industry.

Approximately 500 industry experts in ESOH support services and equipment  supplement the event with the latest in technologies and ESOH information (see Exhibits).
