Safety starts with awareness! Hazard Communication (HazCom) training helps construction and utility crews understand the chemical hazards they may encounter before they become incidents. This practical, field-focused session goes beyond regulatory language and shows participants how to recognize hazardous materials, interpret labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and use that information to reduce exposure and protect their teams.
This interactive class is designed for both field employees and supervisors who want to strengthen communication and decision-making around chemical safety. Join Christopher Lewis (Delphi Infrastructure Group) as he breaks down HazCom requirements into real-world applications that crews can use every day on the jobsite.
Don’t miss this opportunity to turn annual HazCom requirements into meaningful, practical knowledge that makes your jobsites safer and more informed.

Sometimes life is hard. The different stressors of life can result in challenges of mental health wellbeing. In fact, in 2021, 76% of U.S. workers reported at least one symptom of a mental health condition. We are all aware of its presence, yet mental wellbeing remains neglected despite its impact on our daily experiences. It is imperative as employers to not just acknowledge the human condition but to empower it!
This Q2 meeting will explore how everyday life stressors intersect with workplace expectations and culture, impacting focus, safety, morale and performance. We’ll discuss how leaders and peers can recognize early warning signs, reduce stigma and respond in supportive, practical ways. We’ll also introduce One Morning, a mental health engagement catalyst designed to bridge the gap between employees and the support resources that many don’t realize are available. One Morning provides a simple framework to elevate engagement with existing benefits, create deeper cultural buy-in, and help employees feel understood, connected, and more likely to seek help when they need it.
What You’ll Learn:
Join us for this important Q2 conversation as we take intentional steps toward building a workplace culture that prioritizes well-being, strengthens teams and supports every individual—on and off the job.
