The Environmental Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) Training Symposium will again host technical session presentations for 2009. The presentations were extremely popular and very valuable in facilitating technology exchange.

Tech Sessions are only open to students and instructors.
These are to present ESOH success stories, case histories, and new technologies. The technical sessions shall be presented in a 4-hour block on Tuesday, 10 March 2009, between 1:00 PM - 5:00PM. There will be approximately 30 concurrent technical sessions, each about 25 minutes in duration (20 min presentation, 5min Q&A). If you'd like to be considered for a longer time slot of 40 - 45 min for presentation, with 5 - 10 min Q&A, please make your request in via email to Dr Ravichandran.

Sessions will begin at the top and bottom of each hour and may be presented more than once if requested by symposium management.
