Join the Safety & Health Committee for Feb. 23's Contractor Safety Forum

OSHA’s final silica rule has various implications for the construction industry. Join February’s Safety Forum to learn how the rule will affect the day-to-day operations of your business.

OSHA experts will present on vital aspects of the silica rule, including the origin of the rule; standard requirements; how to identify the OSHA action level and permissible exposure limit; assessing when air sampling is required and how to conduct; medical surveillance requirements; and employers’ training responsibilities.

The rule takes effect for the construction industry on June 23, 2017 – four months after the Forum. Attend this Contractor Safety Forum to properly train your safety personnel on the rule, protect your workers, and avoid penalty fees for improper compliance.
