Property Safety/Inspections (OSHA)
4:00 pm – 7:00 pm Exhibitor Check-In
Speaker: Chuck Graziano, CPM®, PCAM , President, Thundering Brook Assoc., OSHA Outreach Instructor, Safety Training and Consulting Expert
Thursday, February 20
Session Description: The goal for every safety program should be to assure that everyone gets home safely each night to have dinner with their families. Unfortunately, this is not the case for over 5000 people each year who are killed at work! We all, as property managers, place safety at the top of our priority list. This session will provide tools for what to look for to provide the safe environment that is required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. It will provide an overview of what a property manager’s responsibility is for adhering to OSHA standards, what liability exists for the property manager when an independent contractor is working at a site, the major causes for workplace injuries and death, and how to avoid citations by an OSHA inspector for infractions that you had no idea existed!
