Mid-Atlantic Construction Safety Council

Improving job hazard analysis and pre-task planning in electrical construction: A workers’ perspective
2022-08-25 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
This webinar is hosted by CPWR – The Center for Construction Research and Training
Pre-task planning and job hazard analysis (JHA) can serve an important role in proactively recognizing and addressing hazards to prevent work-related incidents. However, they are primarily based on compliance and typically lack the input of the workers performing the tasks. To improve the effectiveness of pre-task planning and JHA, it is critical they include more detailed task-specific information — particularly from the workers’ perspective — and provide evidence-based solutions that will create safer working conditions. Please join us to learn how a current CPWR research project strives to fill the gap between current and best practices for planning, particularly in the high-risk trade of electrical construction (covered in part in the new paper, High-Risk Electrical Tasks & Contributing Work Factors).

Join MACSC member CMI Compliance Management on February 23rd from 12pm – 1pm ET for a complimentary webinar on EHS outsourcing.
What’s the Webinar About?
In light of the current economic conditions, business leaders are seeking ways to leverage resources and maximize value in every part of their organization. The management of environmental, health and safety (EHS) programs is a key part of that, and considering alternate approaches for managing your EHS programs may be an opportunity to unlock some additional value.
There are many ways that organizations can benefit from EHS outsourcing, but it is not a “one size fits all” proposition and there is no single solution that can effectively be used in all cases. This webinar will present the key factors to consider when deciding to use EHS outsourcing, and an overview of some common outsourcing options to help best leverage your organization’s time/people/monetary resources and achieve the best value from your EHS management efforts.
We Will Discuss:

Outsourcing 101
Goals of EHS outsourcing
Key EHS functions fulfilled by outsourcing
Common EHS outsourcing options
Corporate EHS Program Management
Facility EHS Compliance Management
Part/Full-Time EHS Staffing
“On Demand” EHS Technical Support

FREE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE
Schuylkill Yards / Brandywine and the Development of Life Sciences in University City.
Join us for the most exciting construction conference in recent memory.
Philadelphia in the wake of a global health crisis, has transformed itself into a national hub for the development of life sciences over the course of the last few years. This can be attributed to the extraordinary strides in research courtesy of the city’s plethora of academic and medical institutions. Thanks to this research, the private sector has responded by developing several million square feet of space for labs, offices, and even manufacturing. The epicenter of this development takes place in University City where projects are proceeding on properties largely held by Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania. Working with private developers, these institutions in conjunction with Schuylkill Yards, UCity Square, and Pennovision, have created a new eco-system of innovation around their campuses. Craig Carnaroli and Anne Papageorge of UPenn, President Fry and Alan Greenberger of Drexel, will describe how this came to be and what to expect as more development is realized.
Complimentary Breakfast will be served.
