About the Symposium The two-day symposium of research and practice brought together over
135 researchers, educators, employers and practitioners in
occupational safety and health. The symposium created a forum to present new applied
research
in the prevention and control of occupational injury and illness.
Presentations and poster sessions reflected a broad spectrum of academic and workplace-based
research. The Bureau of Labor Standards of the Maine Department of Labor is taking the
initiative
to develop an occupational safety and health research
agenda reflective of the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). The symposium was an
opportunity to identify new research partners and integrate various
ideas and perspectives.
