Todd Fernald

Walsh Brothers, Incorporated
, contributor of the long-term discussion states that: "While the data speaks to a strong overall picture through the end of 2017 the AGC MA continues to hear chatter over ongoing labor shortages and, more recently, increased material costs burdening the construction industry. Concern over what these obstacles imply about the current economic health of the industry, and what they will mean going forward, persist despite the fact that growth continues to trend in a favorable direction."

OSHA's New Silica Standard for Construction: Are You Equipped to Comply?
On September 23, 2017, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will begin to enforce their respirable crystalline silica standard for the construction industry. The standard has established a new exposure limit of 50 micrograms of respirable crystalline silica per cubic meter of air as an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA), along with a host of ancillary provisions such as establishing a written exposure control plan, housekeeping requirements, record-keeping, and medical surveillance. This is arguably one of the most complex standards the construction industry has ever faced and it impacts a wide range of industries and activities.
Join the AGC of America Safety & Health staff and other industry professionals on September 18, 2017 as they take a deeper dive into complying with the new standard.
