Successful Virtual Safety Fest!

Successful Virtual Safety Fest- LHTAC Proud Partner!

Safety Fest of the Great Northwest has been offering FREE safety training conferences around the state for the last 16 years and LHTAC is proud to be a part of it. Safety Fest is usually held at six locations across Idaho: Post Falls, Boise, Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, Pocatello, and Lewiston. LHTAC is the event organizer for the Pocatello event and is part of the executive planning committee for the Boise Safety Fest. These conferences provide safety and health training to the Northwest Region’s front-line workers while gearing classes towards the construction and transportation industry.

Safety Fest of the Great Northwest faced atypical challenges in 2021 due to the pandemic. To overcome not having in-person instruction all six Idaho committees came together to offer this event in a completely virtual format and LHTAC stepped up to lead these efforts.

The committee was ecstatic about the turnout for this virtual event.

During the course of 3 days over 90 FREE safety classes were held for over 1,400 attendees. Training hours reached over 200 and we filled over 5,000 seats at the close of registration.
