Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program

NIOSH Public Stakeholders' Meeting - November 19, 2008

The meeting will be held from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Chicago O’Hare, 5440 North River Road. Stakeholder input is being sought to ensure that the program is meeting the needs of the stakeholders, and to identify ways in which the program can be improved to increase its impact on the safety and health of fire fighters across the United States. NIOSH will compile and consider all comments received at the meeting and through the NIOSH Docket Office and use them in making decisions on how to proceed with the FFFIPP. NIOSH convened a similar stakeholders' meeting in March 2006 to seek input on the progress and future directions of the FFFIPP. The input provided by stakeholders at that meeting was useful in providing insight into stakeholder needs and in helping to improve the FFFIPP. The November 2008 meeting will be held to again seek stakeholder input.

Further details of the meeting including instructions for those wishing to make presentations, are available in the federal register notice.
