Safety Standards for Steel Erection - Webinar - Wednesday, April 9, 2008 - 11am-12:30pm CST As SH&E professionals, we know, working in the steel erection business can be hazardous work at times. Many times, those working steel erection jobs are exposed to a wide gamut of general safety issues - working under heavy loads, slips and falls, rigging and hoisting issues – just to name a few. In the end, all involved on a given work site – from site owners, to the steel erectors themselves, must be aware of the risks. Join ASSE member William Treharne as he walks us through the obligations of site owners to those working as steel erectors. This virtual class will take place on Wednesday – April 9th, from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM (CST). http://www.asse.org/cartpage.php?link=cc08stel The Edmonson Faculty Center - 1969 Zonal Avenue, L.A., CA 90089-9160
