Team SAFER, Good morning. We hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend with family and or friends.  This month we are going to explore visual literacy within the context of construction.  Join Justin Griffith, Sr. Site Safety Manager, Dimeo Construction to learn how definable visual literacy skills can improve hazard recognition, incident investigation and more.

Construction job sites can be complex, visual literacy will help you break down into understandable elements.  So join your peers and learn about the possibility of seeing things a little differently.

When: Wednesday, April 5, 2023 7:30 AM-10:00 AM

Where: New England Institute of Technology 2480 Post Road, Warwick, RI **** Hall of Fame Room 2nd Floor
