CDRA, Assurance Agency, hold webinar on recycler safety

The Construction and Demolition Recycling Association, in partnership with the Assurance Agency, Schaumburg, Illinois, is holding a webinar on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) relationship with the recycling industry.

The webinar, taking place Nov. 9 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. CST, will discuss subjects such as OSHA’s primary focus areas for recycling, specific safety programs recyclers need, strategies for mitigating OSHA penalties and managing inspections and an update on OSHA’s policy changes, including increased penalty amounts, that have been effective since June 2016.

OSHA has increased inspections at recycling facilities and several high-dollar penalties have been issued, making headlines nationwide. These subjects are areas OSHA has identified as concerns for the industry.

The event is free to CDRA members and anyone who registers through Construction & Demolition Recycling magazine or GIE Media Inc.
