This presentation examines transient-source carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning as an emerging occupational safety hazard associated with temporary fuel-burning equipment used in enclosed or partially enclosed work areas. Using OSHA hospitalization data\, the presenters identify common exposure sources\, contributing conditions\, and gaps in workplace hazard recognition. The program presents practical prevention strategies\, including portable CO monitoring\, ventilation\, safer equipment selection\, worker training\, and CO shutoff technology.\n\nEric Thibodeaux is a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) and Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) with more than 35 years of experience in occupational safety\, health\, environmental management\, and risk reduction. Eric retired from BP after 30 years in safety and health in the US and Egypt. He works part time for REM Risk Consultants on safety and health projects. He also has more than 22 years of property-management experience\, including approximately seven years focused on safety within the short-term rental industry. As Founder and CEO of Safer VRs\, LLC\, he provides safety consulting\, education\, and expert witness services involving premises safety\, property management\, and workplace safety. Eric holds a Master of Public Health from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and is pursuing a doctoral degree in occupational safety and health.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n 	Define transient-source CO exposure and distinguish it from exposure involving fixed combustion appliances.\n 	Identify common equipment\, work activities\, and environmental conditions associated with transient-source CO poisoning.\n 	Analyze workplace scenarios to determine whether transient-source CO hazards are present.\n 	Select appropriate controls to reduce CO exposure\, including monitoring\, ventilation\, equipment substitution\, and CO shutoff technology.\n\nAs always\, feel free to arrive before the presentation for networking and lunch!\n\nAgenda\n\n11:00 am to 11:30 am Networking and lunch\n\n11:30 am to 11:45 am Welcome and Section Business\n\n 	Welcome\n 	Sign In\n 	Introductions\n 	Old &amp\; New Business\n\n11:45 am to 12:45 pm Presentation\n\nIn-Person Location\n\n960 Memorial City Way (next door to Memorial City Club)\nHouston\, TX 77024\n\nAll attendees should park in the 920 Memorial City Way parking visitor area (the parking garage).
