Greg Strudwick of T.E.A.M Safety will be speaking about his favorite subject – Safety – with an emphasis on OSHA compliance and the proper way to handle an OSHA onsite inspection, as well as explain the “OSHA Citation Policy” and the proper response if in fact a citation is issued after the fact. Greg will also present a simple but effective way to create a “Jobsite Safety Analysis (JSA)” and “Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)” that is not only user friendly, but, if used on a consistent basis, will help to thwart a potential citation.

Seminar: Subcontract Review Gotchas! @ MCM Elegante
Apr 7 @ 11:30 am – 3:30 pm

Subcontractors take on the majority of liability as liability is pushed from the owner to the general contractor and finally to them so the ability to review subcontracts and understand how language in the agreements create potential traps is important to survival. In this seminar Spike Cutler will guide us through the traps old and new so you can negotiate your way to a fair and equitable contract.

We will also cover bond forms and new “gotcha” language for controlled insurance programs (CIPs).

This seminar is being presented through the Subcontractors Association of the Metroplex (SAM).

OSHA Seminar @ Park Central 7 Conference Room
Sep 25 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm

Knowing how to prepare for an OSHA visit, as well as knowing what to expect when an OSHA inspector arrives, are two of the hottest topics in the construction arena.

In this year’s edition of our OSHA Compliance series, Sierra Dwight of 365 Workplace Safety and Spike Cutler of Cutler-Smith will be discussing what triggers an inspection, how to prepare for one, and what to expect when one occurs. They will also share some stories of OSHA inspections, and share insights on how you can make sure your bases are covered when an inspector is up to bat.
