Oregon Sharp Alliance
The Mission of the Oregon SHARP (Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) Alliance is to promote safety and health management and cooperation among companies and government for the betterment of all Oregon workers.
The health and safety of all Oregonians is of vital importance to the Oregon SHARP Alliance.
The September SHARP Alliance General Membership Meeting will be held September 12, 2024 at Lam Research at Building K, 18625 SW 108th Avenue in Tualatin Oregon. Attendance is limited to 48 attendees and the class is not offered virtually. You must be present to attend, RSVP is required. Parking will be available, and attendees must bring picture ID.
The training topic will be Power of Questions. While asking questions may seem a simple task, it is perhaps the most powerful tool we possess as presenters or trainers. If we ask the right question of the right participant at the right moment, we may inspire them to new heights of vision and insight. A good question can excite, disturb or comfort, and eventually yield an unexpected bounty of understanding and critical awareness.
Please join us for an interactive session on engaging employees to identify, address, and solve safety challenges! This interactive session will be led by Jon Sowers, OHST, CHST, CIT, SMS, Senior Safety Management Consultant with SAIF, and Mark Hurliman, CSHM, Voluntary Programs Coordinator with Oregon OSHA. A very popular presentation, this session has been sold out at several Oregon Conferences. The Oregon Sharp Alliance has continued its presence at conferences throughout Oregon and in Washington at the Region X VPPPA.
