When it comes to Wisconsin, something many people may not know is that it's where the first-ever ice cream sundae was served.1 This moment in time can be relived at the Historic Washington House, which is a combination of a Museum and an Ice Cream Parlor. Interestingly, Wisconsinites nowadays consume a high volume of ice cream, nearly 21 million gallons.3 That may explain why "food science technician" is a job more commonly found in the state of Wisconsin than the rest of the nation.4
When it comes to occupational safety and health administration in Wisconsin, the state follows federal regulations. There are currently four federal OSHA offices covering private-sector employees and workers; they are located in Appleton, Eau Claire, Madison, and Milwaukee.5 Some consultation services that are offered include identifying workplace hazards, performing exposure sampling and assessment, assisting with non-formal OSHA complaint responses, as well as training and education.2 Learn more about WisCon here.
