CVTC's Safety Day to Unveil New Safety Training Center

Chippewa Valley Technical College is set to host Safety Day – a hands-on conference where participants will learn about a wide range of safety and health-related topics from local experts.

The College has invited Dr. Lola Loustaunau to present groundbreaking findings from the Listening to Wisconsin’s Workers report, a statewide study exposing systemic failures in worker protections. Loustaunau will detail how these challenges leave workers vulnerable to injury and exploitation and present a call to action.

This event is designed for safety managers, human resources professionals, maintenance employees, frontline supervisors and any person interested in updating their safety skills and knowledge.

Our Safety faculty, and now our Safety Education Center, serve as the cornerstone of this mission.”
