The Marriott Newark Airport Hotel in Newark, New Jersey provides a shuttle from the Newark Airport and parking is available. In addition, lunch will be provided.
Our featured speaker will be Mike VanDyke, Ph.D., C.I.H. of National Jewish Health (NJH), and a full agenda will be forthcoming.
FEMA, and a number of its members, have worked with NJH to evaluate and develop respiratory health and safety programs for flavor manufacturers. Cecile Rose, M.D., M.P.H., and Dr. VanDyke are the main NJH staff involved in this work. Both have worked extensively with the flavor industry and have significant experience with flavors and flavor manufacturing. Dr. Rose is an expert in pulmonary diseases including bronchiolitis obliterans, and Dr. VanDyke is a certified industrial hygienist.
National Jewish Health was awarded a grant by OSHA in late 2011 to conduct training on respiratory health and safety programs for flavor manufacturers. NJH has been provided funding by OSHA to train 500 people working in flavor manufacturing. The focus is expected to be on workers employed in direct flavor manufacturing, i.e. workers responsible for handling and formulating flavorings. Participation in the training program will be available to FEMA members. Dr. VanDyke, along with some of his colleagues, will provide information on the training program and to inform FEMA members how they may participate.
