Subject: 1998 Department of the Interior Safety and Occupational 
         Health Seminar

The Department of the Interior has scheduled a Safety and Occupational Health
Seminar at the Bureau of Land Management Training Center in Phoenix, Arizona,
May 18-22, 1998.  I recommend that division managers support and encourage
members of our safety community, namely the collateral duty safety officers,
to attend this seminar. Their attendance will provide them with an
opportunity
to obtain vital safety training to include the OSHA Collateral Duty Safety
Course. There will be USGS and WRD safety meetings on May 18 where our
personnel can share ideas and concerns on the organization's safety
program. Encouraging participation of your safety personnel will demonstrate
management's recognition of their critical role in helping ensure a safe and
healthful work environment.

The bureau has established a web page that will permit on line 
registration and provide detailed information.

If the web site is unavailable, your Regional or Division Safety Officer 
can provide information and assistance.
