Utility Safety Workshop for OSHA Compliance/Liquid Utilities This webinar will provide a comprehensive understanding of the hazard of the liquid utility system. It will discuss in detail hazards related to each treatment process including water, wastewater and stormwater treatment. Why Should You Attend: Utilities have a myriad of hazards that must be mitigated on a continuous basis. There are physical, chemical, biological, and in some instance terrorist hazards and threats. Several utilities have dedicated safety personnel who take a leadership role in the organization’s safety and health program, but that is not always the case. The liquid utility sector is a specialized group with a high level of exposure to hazardous environments and life threatening tasks. Wastewater and drinking water personnel have not been given the occupational safety training to the same degree as their private sector counterparts. However, the municipalities with state OSHA regulations must meet the same standards of 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR 1926 as the privately own companies. This webinar will explain hazards related to each treatment process including water, wastewater and stormwater treatment. It will also provide attendees’ tools that they need to protect themselves on a day to day basis. Areas Covered in the Webinar: 1.
