Dear Colleagues-
Are you concerned about the health and safety of yourself and others? Do
you have health and safety questions, but aren’t certain where to look for
relevant, up-to-date information? Look no further – join the American
Institute for Conservation (AIC) Health & Safety Network Forum!
*H&S Network Forum – Our Purpose:*
● To create a space dedicated to discussing health and safety topics,
specifically for conservators and other persons associated with cultural
institutions who have an interest in health and safety in museums,
libraries, archives, and similar venues.
● To promote a safe space to discuss and ask questions about these
issues without being judged or dismissed by those who do not think health
and safety are legitimate concerns.
● To increase awareness of health and safety issues and resources.
● To act as a resource for interested conservators and allied
professionals, and garner contributions to articles, collaborative
projects, and Annual Meeting programming that the network officers manage.
● To keep the community updated on OSHA updates/new procedures that
might be relevant to U.S.-based conservators and cultural institution
professionals.
● To create a solid network of individuals with a strong interest in
health and safety, with the end goal of making cultural heritage workplaces
as safe as possible.
