Crack down on portland cement compliance

Is your firm in compliance? OSHA is cracking down on firms with employees exposed to the hazards created by concrete, mortar, plaster, grout, stucco and terrazzo. Attend Portland Cement: Are You in Compliance? on Thursday, Aug. 14 from 8 to 10 a.m. at the BX to bolster your firm’s knowledge of how OSHA is approaching this hazard.

Employees exposed to skin contact with strong adhesive products, or portland cement, have a duty to be in compliance with OSHA regulations. And the regulations include provisions in Subparts C, General Safety and Health Provisions; D, Occupational Health and Environmental Controls; and E, Personal Protective and Life Saving Equipment.

Instructed by Dianne Grote Adams, MS, CIH, CSP, CPEA (Safex), the program will:

• identify at-risk trades

• discuss the skin problems associated with portland cement

• recognize the specific OSHA regulations being cited

• provide a how-to for compliance efforts

The cost is $10 for participants in the BX Workers’ Comp Group, $20 for other BX or SCGC members, and $50 for nonmembers. Registration is limited to the first 50 people, so register today by calling Kelly Bresnahan at the BX.  You may also register online for this class.
