Construction is a high-hazard industry that comprises a wide range of activities involving construction, alteration, and/or repair. Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy construction equipment, electrocutions, silica dust, and asbestos.
Join this session with OSHA expert Gary Heppner who will share his over 40 years of experience in assisting employers to meet the OSHA regulations that apply to their business. Common safety issues will be addressed with solutions to assist in passing an OSHA audit resulting from a serious on-job injury. Mr. Heppner will also be available to assist supervisors who may have unique safety issues.
Most employers consider OSHA Safety Programs to be just another expense. Is it just another expense? The organized OSHA program can be a profit center. This will be discussed. Current citations for an out-of-compliance safety program can cost $15,000 to $24,000 per citation. There is no need for this exposure to citations.
