Free Safety Forum tomorrow

Ask safety questions and share ideas

By Jeff Buczkiewicz

The MCAA Safety Committee will host a Safety Forum webinar on Competent Persons Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 3:00 PM CST.

MCAA Safety Committee Chair Zach Everett of Brazos Masonry, Inc. in Waco, Texas will kick off the event with a brief overview of competent persons, and will then open the floor for discussion.

The forum will be open to all MCAA members to discuss safety related issues. Has OSHA cited you for an issue? Do you have a safety question for others in the industry? Do you have a question on procedure? The sky is the limit on topics for discussion related to safety and if you have them we strongly encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to tap into safety experts from around the country to openly ask questions. When it comes to safety, no question is silly or unreasonable.

It will also be a great opportunity to share safety ideas you have and share things you do as a company to enhance your safety. The sharing of information is extremely important and it is also important to track trends in safety and enforcement.

The meeting is free to all MCAA members. Mason contractors registered for Masonry Certification will receive 1.00 credits in the safety discipline upon completion of this course.
