2008 Public Employees Safety Awareness & Preparedness Fair

To coincide with National Preparedness Month, the second annual Public Employees Safety Awareness and Preparedness Fair is being organized through the cooperative efforts of agency safety offices in numerous agencies on the Capitol Campus. These agencies include the Office of Attorney General, the Department of Transportation, Employment Security Department, Washington State Patrol, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Licensing and the Department of General Administration.

This event:

• Is designed to raise the awareness of both the public and public employees about safety related issues;
• Offers the opportunity for state agencies and local emergency service providers to share information about their public safety services; and
• Offers the opportunity for vendors to provide valuable safety information and to provide safety related merchandise for purchase.
  

Last year’s event had 1200-1300 visitors, and planners expect several hundred more this year.
