From Bob Kunz: Team SAFER,

The Safety Alliance for Furthering Educational Resources (SAFER), an alliance between OSHA and the RI Construction Industry has been serving the community since October of 2008.  Over this time, we have welcomed many members and participants, received valuable information from passionate professionals like yourselves, and have grown and interacted as a SAFER community.  This month the SAFER Alliance Agreement will be renewed again.  Maryanne Medeiros, the OSHA Area Director for the Providence Office, will share a few remarks to mark the occasion.

Following the SAFER signing ceremony, we will move into a discussion about lagging and leading indicators.  Below are a few resources on the subject.

At this time, we would like to recognize Manafort Bros for sponsoring  the coffee and calories.
