Overcoming Complex Support Conditions
Often times, the support conditions for a steel structure are obvious to the erector, but what if a condition exists in which the vertical support for a given area is not evident? This session will explore planning methods to ensure a project’s structure is erected safely. James Byrum, Estimator and Project Manager for Peterson Beckner Industries, will discuss careful sequencing, temporary shoring, detailed erection planning, and collaboration with the design team.

The Maverick Foreman: Defending OSHA Citations Involving Supervisor Misconduct
In order to establish an OSHA violation, the agency must prove the employer had knowledge of the alleged violation. If a foreman or supervisor witnesses an employee making a violation, OSHA uses that to establish that the employer also had knowledge. Stephen Safran, of Safran Law Offices, will focus on how to build a supervisor misconduct defense, where the employer can argue that the foreman or supervisor engaged in unforeseeable or unpreventable misconduct.
