Each year of the previous space program, NASA used to hold an annual safety fair where workers that were part of the program (whether working for NASA itself or through one of it's contracted companies that supplied the space program and used NASA's facilities) and their families got to go on campus and view the different work stations at the facilities. The work stations where set up to help visitors become aware of the different safety issues related to operating the program, and different measures taken to mitigate those risks. There were displays, demonstrations, speeches, little trinkets to take home, all kinds of interesting things to get the workers and their families engaged in safety. Safety was a large measure of the previous space program. I am wondering if NASA still holds a safety fair, and if so how might it differ from the traditional set-up being that the space program now deals with private space flight on-top of NASA contracted flights. Any data, including where I can find the data myself, would be helpful.
I apologize, but I know this NASA program that annually performs these activities with the families of the workers. Maybe my friends in the department of physics are more informed. I am also interested in having information.
