OES Presents at Dacusville Elementary Career Fair

OES recently participated in the Career Fair at Dacusville Elementary School, where they shared information about workplace health and safety with local students.

Kerri Kwist, Biological Safety Officer, and Blake Robinson, Health and Safety Specialist, represented the department and introduced students to the role safety professionals play in helping keep people safe and healthy in the workplace.

Their presentation included a simple ventilation concept to show how moving air can help maintain a healthier indoor environment. Using a small fan and visible smoke to illustrate airflow, students were able to see how ventilation helps move air through the space.

Clemson OES would like to thank Dacusville Elementary School for the opportunity to participate in this year’s career fair, and looks forward to supporting future events.
