Sleep Apnea and Trucking Conference (Sleep Apnea) Reminder!!!

The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the health and safety of commercial truck drivers, as well as all transportation operators, has been a hot topic of discussion for years. While some progress is being made, much misinformation, policy confusion, and a lack of industry-specific research have prevented further progress on this important health and safety issue.

The Sleep Apnea & Trucking Conference 2010 is organized by the American Sleep Apnea Association and brings together trucking, regulatory, medical, insurance, legal and policy experts to provide accurate and reliable information about OSA diagnosis, treatment and compliance. This landmark event offers a forum for addressing key issues and guidance to improve driver health and safety, which can have a positive impact for the company.
