OSHA Update - September 2009

OSHA is out in full force inspecting construction sites in Mobile and Baldwin Counties.  These inspections are aimed at reducing the upward trend in construction related fatalities in the Southeast.  Please be aware that OSHA compliance officers are specifically focusing their enforcement efforts on  
    
construction sites throughout our region.

These inspections are intended to identify and eliminate safety hazards, thereby reducing exposure to the four leading causes of employee fatalities:  
   
Falls
    Struck By's
   
Electrical Hazards
    Caught-ins
    Trenches

Please make sure your job sites are safe and "in compliance" with OSHA rules and regulations!

For valuable free employee training information visit the OSHA website:  www.osha.gov  On the tabs at the top of the page, choose Publications. 

AGC has over 200 Safety Videos at our office available for use.  To rent a video, please contact the AGC office.

 

Appreciation is extended to
Torrey Garrison - Coporate Safety Director
for White-Spunner Construction,
Frankie Brock with White-Spunner Construction 
and Tom Alsip - Safety Consultant

for teaching a Free Trenching & Excavation Course
at White-Spunner's Rec-Center Project at the University of South Alabama on July 23, 2009, where hands-on demonstrations were utilized.


 

Mobile Section AGC
June Lunch & Learn featured Buzzy Riis
"Dealing with OSHA Inspections and
Contesting OSHA Citations"

25 contractors attended Mobile Section's June Lunch & Learn program at the AGC office in Mobile, June 11th.  This month's program featured Attorney Buzzy Riis with Hand, Arendall LLC who talked with the contractors about
"Dealing with OSHA Inspections and Contesting Citations". 

 
Among the topics discussed, Riis told the contractors that he has heard of discussion that the new administration is pushing for even stiffer penalties which could  result in an increase of 10 times the current penalties.   He urged contractors to make sure that they had their safety policies in place and all written documentation on file before OSHA visits their jobsite.
