New for 2012
Industry partners have been invited to present key note sessions for the first time for 2012, that will include Don Bradway, Independent Safety Consultant; Kevin Thompson, Editor, Cal/OSHA Reporter; Fred Walter and Lisa Prince, Walter & Prince, LLP.
Expo is also introducing the Contractor Tool & Equipment Liquidation Sale – plenty of new and used tools and equipment sold at drastically reduced prices. Attendees with badges qualify for additional discounts. The Partnership Marketplace vendors will be strategically placed throughout the campus in close proximity to classes and sessions in lieu of being placed inside an enclosed facility. Expo is also introducing a new OSHA Regulatory Track that will include specific sessions on IIPP, Heat Standard, New Crane Regulations and other important OSHA updates.
2012 Safety Expo – Crane Operations Session
Mario Bermudez with Maxim Crane Works is returning to the Expo with an expanded version of his popular presentation on “Crane Operations.” The topic will be offered on each of the three days of the conference, April 3-5, 2012, to ensure that those of you who work in the crane environment will get the most benefit from the information and subject matter applicable to you. Crane operations carry the greatest potential for disaster than any other activity on the project. Crane accidents in construction are often the most costly when measured in either lives or dollars. The significant number of fatalities associated with the use of cranes in construction and the considerable technological advances in equipment have prompted OSHA to revise the Crane Standard. Learn about the new crane standard and how it will affect operations in your job site. More importantly, learn how you can conduct safe and efficient operations without injuries, property damage, delays or cost overruns. 
Additionally, this course will cover: Planning―including site preparation, crane erection/dismantling considerations, critical lift identification and other risks that may affect operations such as weather, power lines, rigging and communications. Maintenance/Site set up―hands on inspection of a crane. Inspect the overall condition of the crane (leaks, functioning lights, horns) and all required paperwork, load charts, crane manuals and all critical parts of the crane such as the load line, drums, safety aids (anti two block devices load moment indicators). Inspect the crane’s set up (outrigger set up, cribbing, barricades, tires off ground). Personnel―are your operators qualified? Certified? What kind of experience does the operator have on that specific crane model? Find out what OSHA requirements are on riggers and signal persons. If your livelihood is in this segment of the industry, this session is for you.
The Safety Expo Returns for the Eighth Year in 2012
The 2012 Safety Expo cannot provide your employees or your company with a cloaking devise to make you invisible to regulation or penalties; however, it can provide the next best thing—three full days of OSHA regulatory-focused training topics to help you avoid those very costly serious and willful violation citations.
Seven years of success is the background for the 2012 Safety Expo’s new Regulatory Track representing more than fourteen topics and seventy hours of training, which key-in on the Top 10 Safety Violations from 2011. This year, special attention has been taken in the programming of topics and sessions avoiding time conflicts and overlapping schedules, which allows your employees to participate in the classes they want and need making better use of their time and more training for your three-day registration dollars.
Based on the 2011 Safety Expo registrations it is anticipated that the 2012 Expo will have half its attendees from construction and half from associations, city, county and municipalities. As in years past employers know that with our sign-in/sign-out accountability their people will be verified as class participants. Every validated class participant will receive a Certificate of Attendance listing the sessions they completed—certificates are made available electronically for training or employee files, post Expo.
Typically the OSHA-10, Cal/OSHA-10, accident investigation, scaffold and equipment certifications sessions fill-up the earliest. History has shown us that more than half of the Expo attendees register the last couple of weeks prior to the Expo. The best lesson learned over the past seven years is plan your training needs and register early to make sure you get the sessions and times you want.
Cosumnes River College welcomes this event to their campus again this year. We expect an excellent group of exhibitors and vendors for you to explore. For the first time we are introducing the Contractor Tool and Equipment Liquidation Sale, April 3 and 4, from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. For more information, contact Heidi Hughes directly at: 916-442-8991 or email: Heidi@SBXchange.net.
The 2012 Safety Expo will also continue to offer group discounts as it has in past years. If your organization registers ten or more people as a group, which simplifies processing, a significant savings are realized. Members of the Sacramento Regional Builders Exchange will again receive the benefit of a major registration savings. The Attendee Registration Brochure will be mailed to more than five-thousand past and potential attendees in January—on-line registration will open January 17.
