WOWRA/OSHA Safety Webinar on May 13th
This webinar will be an overview of OSHA Updates and focus on Trenching hazards. OSHA has made some policy and standard changes in the past few years such as COVID-19 Exposure Plan expectations and modified inspections. OSHA made TRENCHING an Agency Priority Goal several years ago and the key elements of a safe trench will be discussed. Other hazards, such as silica, confined space, and utilities will be reviewed.
Onsite Wastewater Training Seminar Update
Given the government restrictions, we are currently unable to host our onsite wastewater training seminars as planned. We are working diligently on a possible virtual seminar later this year with a co-host in the industry. The online option would still cover continuing education credits. Any new updates will be shared on social media, in our newsletters, and on our website. Thank you all for your understanding and support!
