SEAA Board Members attend SESAC Meeting
|
SEAA staff and board members attend a business meeting of the the Steel Erectors Safety Association of Colorado on July 12, in Denver, Colo. The networking event allowed for both groups to share information about their organizations and industry best practices.
"There is always something to be gained from talking with erectors who put a priority on safety," said Stephen Burkholder, SEAA board member and Long-Range Planning Committee chairman.

Connector: SEAA Members Lead Efforts to Develop Skilled Ironworkers
|
 Standardized training doesn't mean that steel erectors are limited to a cookie-cutter program. Each of the SEAA member companies participating in the SEAA/NCCER Ironworker Craft Training and Apprenticeship is taking a different approach, molding the program to their individual needs. An article by Tracy Bennett, published in Spring 2017 Connector, profiles success stories.
Some program are targeting high school seniors or military veterans, while others are providing skills development to their existing workforce. Most participating companies are erectors, but not all. Others are engaged in fabrication, labor recruitment and employment placement, risk management services, and one is a technical college system that provides assessments only. More

OSHA Exends Date for Electronic Recordkeeping Requirements
|
OSHA has published a notice of proposed rulemaking that extends the initial submission deadline for reporting 2016 Form 300A data to December 1, 2017. The purpose of the extension is to provide the new administration an opportunity to review the new electronic reporting requirements prior to their implementation and allow affected entities sufficient time to familiarize themselves with the electronic reporting system. The Injury Tracking Application will be available beginning August 1, 2017 from the ITA launch page.
The record-keeping rule requires certain employers submit injury and illness data electronically. The rule applies to establishments with 250 or more employees and establishments with less than 250 employees but 20 or more in certain high-risk industries. However,
OSHA also intends to issue a separate proposal to reconsider, revise, or remove other provisions of the prior final rule. OSHA will seek comment on those provisions in that separate proposal.
