Construction Fails – A Review of Conditions and Decisions Leading to Disastrous Accidents and Near Misses
September 21, 2018 from 11:30am to 12:30pm Central Standard Time
Dallas Ballroom C
Without a doubt, construction can be a dangerous business. Even so, not many mishaps on construction sites are freak accidents; the vast majority are completely preventable. During this seminar, Barclay Gebel will lead a panel of tilt-up experts in a review of several recent construction fails. While many times a root cause is identified in these instances - resulting in lawsuits, termination or even loss of business - assigning blame often leads to a false sense of closure and an over simplification of an accident’s cause. Therefore, the focus of this group will be to identify and discuss the myriad of conditions and decisions leading to each failure as well as the industry’s role in improving the culture, resources and awareness needed to prevent injury on the jobsite.
