The crisis you never expected suddenly strikes. TV news crews are on your jobsite, demanding answers from the site superintendent. Another dozen reporters have phoned your office wanting to know what happened and why. Your subcontractors are posting pictures of the scene on Facebook. And the project’s owner just screamed at your PM for not calling him first.

This is the reality facing many construction companies every day, and the one thing they have in common is that they never thought it would happen to them.

In this workshop, international crisis communications expert Anthony Huey (Reputation Management Associates) will provide a timely program offering contractors actionable keys for swaying internal and external perception during a negative event.

Participants will:

• Arm yourself with a reputation-saving crisis response framework
• Gain 10 battle-proven tips to survive any crisis and live another day
• Discover how to control social media when things get tough
• Learn how to easily “plug the holes’ in your current crisis plan

Don’t let 30 years of hard work get destroyed in 30 seconds, get started on your crisis plan by enrolling today.

The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation developed the Drug-Free Safety Program (DFSP) to address workplace use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs. It is designed to help employers more effectively prevent on-the-job injuries and illnesses by integrating drug-free efforts into their overall workplace safety program. DFSP can help employers achieve both long-range safety and cost-saving benefits.
