Valerio, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, in a six-year NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs as an offensive lineman caught an NFL-record four touchdown passes, including three from Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana.
— Safety and Risk Control: Matthew Forest, director of risk control services of Lyons Companies, will present at the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) seminar on the “National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction” being held at OSHA’s Wilmington, Delaware Office on Tuesday, April 29. Forest will discuss the personal and financial costs and impact a significant worker injury, like a fall, has on individuals and businesses.
This seminar supports OSHA’s upcoming safety initiative “National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction,” which is being held on June 2-6, 2014. The National Fall Prevention Stand-Down is OSHA’s program to raise awareness of fall hazard prevention. Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction workers. Fall prevention safety standards are among the top 10 most frequently cited OSHA violations.
