On Thursday, October 22, 2015, Dennis Dougherty, President and CEO of Med-Tex Services, Inc. and CAEP Associate Member, will cover topics relating to confined spaces including: the comparison between general industry and construction, typical hazards and violations observed in the execution of confined space activities and the key areas to focus on during site evaluations or inspections.  He will discuss the impact of the OSHA’s new “Confined Spaces for Construction” standard and help identify the considerations of the companies involved in construction or for general industry settings that have construction activities on their property.
