The Health & Safety Network, formerly a committee, was approved in April 2020.
Our Charge
To increase the knowledge of safety hazards, control measures and general health issues related to the conservation profession, the Network is charged with providing educational and technical information to the AIC membership. The Network maintains strong working relationships with public health and safety, occupational medicine, and fire protection professionals and their organizations, who donate their time and knowledge to the benefit of AIC membership.
Leadership
There are up to 13 positions (AIC membership is required), each serving one 4 year term with a possible renewal for a second term. By charge, at least one member must be an Occupational Health and Safety Professional. The chair usually serves for 2 years, and is elected from the Network leadership.

The Primary Leadership positions are:
