SUMMARY:MIOSHA Multi-Employer Policy & The 4 Citable Roles
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\nOn a jobsite with multiple trades working side by side\, determining who’s responsible for a safety hazard isn’t always straightforward. And when MIOSHA issues citations\, responsibility doesn’t necessarily stop with the contractor who created the hazard. \nYou don’t have to create a hazard to be cited for it. \nJoin ASAM for our Quarterly Safety Meeting as we take an in-depth look at MIOSHA’s Multi-Employer Worksite Policy and the four citable roles: Creating\, Exposing\, Correcting\, and Controlling Employers. \nFeaturing a representative from MIOSHA’s Consultation Education and Training (CET) Division\, this session will help you understand where your company’s responsibilities begin and end\, how citations can extend across multiple trades\, and what you can do to protect your company. \nKey Takeaways\nAttendees will walk away with actionable insights\, including: \n\nUnderstanding the 4 Citable Roles: Learn how MIOSHA classifies Creating\, Exposing\, Correcting\, and Controlling Employers and what each designation means for your company.\nRecognizing Secondary Citation Risks: Understand how your company could receive a citation for hazards created or left uncorrected by another contractor\, even when your crew isn’t performing that work.\nProtecting Your Company: Learn field documentation and communication practices that can help clarify responsibilities and reduce citation exposure.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nMIOSHA Consultation Education and Training (CET) Division Representative \nSpeaker details will be announced soon. \nLunch will be provided. This event is free and only open to ASAM members. \nLocation: TBD. Attendees that RSVP below will receive an email when the location is finalized.

SUMMARY:Accidental "Controlling Contractors": Managing Sub-Tiers & Second-Tier
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\nHiring and overseeing second-tier subcontractors is a normal part of getting work done. But certain contract terms\, field oversight practices\, and safety supervision activities can give your company more responsibility for another contractor’s safety than you ever intended. \nYour company could become a “Controlling Contractor” without realizing it.\nJoin ASAM for our Quarterly Safety Meeting as we examine how subcontractors can unintentionally assume controlling-contractor responsibilities over their second-tier trades. \nFeaturing Zachariah Tozer\, Safety Director for Sobie Company and Architectural Glass & Metals\, this session will explore the contractual and day-to-day decisions that create liability exposure\, along with practical strategies for maintaining safety standards without taking on responsibilities that aren’t yours. \nKey Takeaways\nAttendees will walk away with actionable insights\, including: \n\nIdentifying Controlling Contractor Triggers: Recognize the contract clauses and everyday field practices that can elevate your company to controlling-contractor status.\nUnderstanding the Limits of Oversight: Learn how to enforce sub-tier safety expectations without unintentionally assuming direct supervisory responsibility.\nManaging Second-Tier Safety: Explore practical approaches to prequalification\, site walks\, documentation\, and safety oversight that help protect your company from additional MIOSHA citation risks.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n \nZachariah Tozer | Safety Director\, Sobie Company & Architectural Glass & Metals \nAs Safety Director for Sobie Company and Architectural Glass & Metals\, Zachariah brings a trade contractor’s perspective to the challenges of managing jobsite safety\, coordinating with other trades\, and navigating regulatory responsibilities. \n  \nLunch will be provided.
