Presenter Information:

Dave McLaughlin’s career has been heavily dedicated to industrial hygiene, occupational safety, and regulatory compliance. He initially honed his expertise in the military, serving as a BEE Technician in the U.S. Air Force for four years. Following his honorable service, he transitioned to Oregon OSHA in the summer of 1991.
He spent nearly three decades serving as an Industrial Hygienist for the state, evaluating occupational health hazards and enforcing workplace safety standards. In 2019, he was promoted to Technical Manager, a position he held for six years. In this role, McLaughlin provided critical technical guidance, policy oversight, and leadership for Oregon OSHA's health and safety initiatives.
Dave McLaughlin returned to his roots as an Industrial Hygienist in February 2025, where he continues to apply his extensive expertise to safeguard the health and well-being of workers across the state.
