Safety Innovation Series: Hidden Hazards, Real Consequences

Description

Managing Asbestos, Lead, PCBs, and Environmental Contamination Risks in Construction, Renovation & Redevelopment

Every experienced construction professional has heard the phrase:

"Nobody told us that was there."

Whether it is asbestos above a ceiling or in mastic and ceiling tiles, lead paint on structural steel, PCB-containing caulk hidden within old window frames, or petroleum-contaminated soil discovered during excavation, environmental hazards continue to derail projects throughout New England.

These discoveries can trigger emergency work stoppages, costly change orders, schedule delays, regulatory notifications, worker exposures, waste disposal challenges, and increased public scrutiny.

Through real-world construction scenarios and interactive team-based exercises, attendees will learn practical strategies to identify, manage, and communicate environmental risks before they become project failures.

Who should attend:

Safety Professionals, Project Managers, Field Engineers, Superintendents, Estimators
