CAL SMACNA Safety Seminar
The CAL SMACNA Safety Seminar was held in the new Bay Area SMACNA training room on September 21, and we were excited to have more than 20 of our local contractors participate.
Attending these free safety seminars can greatly benefit your company by keeping you informed and prepared for upcoming safety regulations. With Cal/OSHA rule changes pending for Indoor Heat Illness and Lead, it’s important to be one step ahead and ensure your company is ready for the impact these changes may bring. In addition to learning about the latest from Cal/OSHA and hot safety topics, this seminar emphasized the importance of being confined space compliant and having an updated IIPP for your company. CAL SMACNA members have access to a model IIPP and Safety Manual, updated annually and available at no charge.
The seminar was presented by CAL SMACNA’s Safety Consultant, Steve Bowers, CSP, CIT, President of Global Safety Management Consultants. Steve has more than 30 years’ experience in the Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) field in the high-risk petrochemical, semiconductor and construction industries. In addition to numerous safety-related certifications and professional memberships, he is an instructor for OSHA Construction 30/10 Hour, NFPA 70E, EM385-1-1 and has certifications for Hazardous Materials/Waste Management, Emergency Response/Incident Commander and Industrial Fire Fighting.
