Milone & MacBroom recently sponsored a safety and informational training program, "Damage Prevention & Safety – Guidance for Construction Inspectors & Competent Persons," hosted by Connecticut’s Call Before You Dig. The training event at our Cheshire office was coordinated by Anthony Ciriello Jr., Vice President, who serves as an Associate Member to the Board of Directors for CBYD. Speakers included representatives from CBYD’s Hamden call center, as well as CTDOT Utilities Section and the CTDEEP’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA).
The program was designed to provide guidance for field engineers and inspectors involved in construction. While site safety is generally the responsibility of our contractor partners, as competent persons we are capable of identifying hazards and in many cases have authority to take corrective measures.
Fifteen participants represented six firms routinely providing construction inspection services. The interactive discussion served to generate a productive dialogue centered on safety. Visit www.cbyd.com for more information on CBYD, its mission, and its resources.
