This month’s guest:

The South Florida AGC is welcoming Condell Eastmond, OSHA Area Director, to present at our next Safety Session this coming Wednesday. No one likes to ask pointed questions to someone representing an agency with oversight of their work so… let us do it for you.

Please email us any questions you may have for the Area Director. He and his team were open and forthcoming with their responses last year which made for a great Safety Session. We are looking forward to another one again this coming Wednesday.

Please send your questions to sfagc@sfagc.org.
