Building Safety Programs for Community and Museum Collections

Organized by The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum and The Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health.

The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum and The Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health are collaborating to present a virtual series titled “Building safety programs for community and museum collections” from July through December of 2025.

This series will present case studies of museums or indigenous communities working in partnership with Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety professionals to increase safe practice with their collections as relates to pesticides, silicosis and biocide related risks. 

Our goal is to share this information in a manner accessible to a mix of stakeholders and professionals so the format is a free, virtual series of presentations, though registration is required
