Medgate IH Expert to Present at AIHce 2013

At this year’s American Industrial Hygiene conference and exposition (AIHce 2013), Medgate’s Monica Melkonian, CIH, will speak to how software can help industrial hygienists improve processes and demonstrate their value within their organization. Her session, titled ‘Medgate GX2 – Advanced Industrial Hygiene Software’ will be held in the Expo Theatre on Tuesday, May 21 at 11:30am.

As part of her session, Monica will review the real-world application of Medgate’s Industrial Hygiene (IH) software at CSX Transportation, based on a recent case study published in conjunction with Dr. Billy Bullock, CSX’s Director of Industrial Hygiene. Having worked closely with Dr. Bullock and his team as their Medgate IH implementation consultant, Monica is uniquely qualified to discuss both the challenges faced by the transportation company prior to selecting Medgate, and the benefits reaped from utilizing the software.

Monica will also discuss the return-on-investment of implementing an OH&S software solution and the IH data management capabilities of the Medgate application. The insights offered in this presentation will be applicable to anyone managing IH programs at their organization.

Medgate representatives and IH experts will also meet with delegates at booth 1018 in the Expo Hall from Monday, May 20 to Wednesday, May 22. They look forward to discussing the occupational health, safety, and industrial hygiene data management needs of conference delegates.

More than 5,000 industrial hygiene and safety professionals are expected to convene in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for AIHce 2013.
