December Monthly Meeting

Location: Idaho Power Building 1221 W. Idaho St. Boise, ID 83702

Share Title: Construction Safety – Some theory, some practical ideas Description Managing construction safety is necessary in both large and small projects – most notably due to the OSHA position on multiemployer worksites which encourages citations for all parties potentially involved in serious injuries. This includes the host employer, general contractor, and subcontractors. The main goal of construction safety management is to reduce and control, to a defendable degree, the risks for serious injuries and fatalities during the construction project. This discussion will explore the tensions that exist between the host employer and contractors and explore practical ideas to minimize risks while maintaining schedule and costs.
