”A Sept. 18 roundtable discussion sponsored by the Connecticut Department of Labor’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CONNOSHA) will provide an in‐depth look at the various reasons why company safety and health programs struggle ‐‐ and often fail completely. ”Peter Susca, Senior Vice President at Loureiro Engineering Associates in Plainville will discuss “Diagnosing Safety Management Impasses” and lead the breakfast meeting taking place from 8:15 to 9:45 a.m. in Conference Rooms A‐B of the agency’s Central Office, 200 Folly Brook Boulevard, Wethersfield. ”’Pete brings with him 32 years of experience in the areas of environment, health and safety, operational leadership and training expertise,’ explains John Able, Occupational Safety Training Specialist with CONN‐OSHA, and coordinator of the breakfast series. ‘As Senior Vice President he oversees the company’s Massachusetts and Rhode Island divisions and will provide valuable insight regarding organizational reasons why safety managers may have difficulty getting employees to assume ownership of their company’s safety program. This can result in an impasse that blocks the plan from being implemented to its fullest extent – which is detrimental to all parties.’ ”Admission to the event is free, but pre-registration is required. To register for the breakfast roundtable or for additional information, please contact Able at able.john@dol.gov.” Source: able.john@dol.gov
