Arch E. York, Damage Prevention Manager
Missouri 811

In this short presentation I will be discussing the importance of “struggling” and how to embrace it. The goal of the presentation is not only to encourage the audience to do the hard parts of damage prevention, but also to encourage better accountability in all corners of life. I will be leaning heavily on comparisons from my time in the service and how that level of accountability leads to greater successes in all aspects.

Mark Woodward, Director of Training and Safety Manager
Sellenriek Construction

There is no safe thing as a safe jobsite. All jobsites have hazards – from traffic – to slips & trips – to trench collapse – to electrocution. We can control many of the hazards, but not all of them. All construction jobs and tasks must be continually assessed and controlled throughout the day – every day. Mark Woodward will discuss the top types of work-related construction deaths and injuries, common contributing factors, and how ALL companies can reduce the frequency and severity of injuries and incidents through a manageable and achievable 4-step process.
