#AIHce Movie Matinee: #Blackfish - #Safety when swimming with #Killer Whales #fletcherandbest

One of the many interesting sessions at AIHce was the Movie Matinee - Blackfish: Safety when Swimming with Killer Whales. As we arrived to the session, there was even popcorn and American “candy” on offer, just like the movies! The session enabled us to watch the documentary “Blackfish“, which was followed by a discussion about the findings presented in the movie and the U.S. Occupational Health…

Young Professional Development at the #AIHce #fletcherandbest #younghygienist

Having recently returned from our first American Industrial Hygiene Conference (AIHce), held in San Antonio, Texas, we have been forced to look back and reflect upon our experience and learning’s with many people asking “how was it?, “what did you enjoy the most?” Well, the answer to the first question is easy.
