Golden Gate Chapter, National Safety Management Society

Myron Brown has worked in health and safety for over 15 years and is President of Brown Consulting. He has a wealth of experience in safety management and consulting and has worked extensively in manufacturing and construction. Myron has in-depth safety and regulatory compliance knowledge and extremely effective participatory teaching techniques.

Hardly a day goes by in the Bay Area without drivers encountering some type of road construction. Crews working on California roads and highways face significant risk of injury and possibly death. Understanding the ins and outs of Cal/OSHA’s flagging standard and managing this risk is critical.

Myron will clarify the complex Cal/OSHA Title 8 Construction Safety Orders Section 1599. It is essential for all managers of flaggers and craft who work in traffic control zones or “cone zones” to also understand the new California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (FHWA’s MUTCD 2003 ed) as amended in California. Myron will give attendees tips for managing this high risk work, including sign placement, proper apparel, safety in the cone zone, fundamentals of flagging moving traffic, and use of signaling devices.

The luncheon seminar will be held at Hs Lordships, 199 Seawall Drive, in the Berkeley Marina, (510)843-2733 (map). Registration starts at 11:15 am and the presentation follows at noon.

Please make your reservation by calling (415)273-1993, or sending us an e-mail before Wednesday, May 7.

The cost, including presentation and a full buffet, is $30. Pay at the door (cash or check) or pay online by credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa) through
