The National Health and Public Safety History Museum will host a free presentation to first responders and the public at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 12 in Knights Theater of the former Rotary building.
In this presentation, trainer Eddy Weiss looks at the history of infectious disease in the United States, the methods used in the past and the importance of protocols in today’s changing world of threats. This laid-back program takes a look at recent lessons learned, why we should not forget the lessons of the 1918 Pandemic and how we can apply simple measures in the workplace and at home to prevent what could be the catastrophic end of not only a career but a life.
Also covered in this program is the lack of attention paid to drug contamination during the course of our law enforcement workdays. Utilizing his experience as a certified forensics specialist, Weiss will create a hands-on experience using forensic lights during the program while learning to apply simple measures in the workplace and at home to prevent catastrophe.
