On 7-8 May 1996, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) will 
hold a workshop on "International Standardization of Occupational Health 
& Safety Management Systems--Is There a Need?"  This workshop will be 
held at the Rosemont Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, near O'Hare 
airport.  

The purpose of this workshop is to help develop a U.S. position on 
whether the International Standards Organization (ISO) should pursue 
development of an international OSH management systems standard, similar 
to ISO 14000.
