This workshop focuses on best practices for performing construction site observation duties. It also talks about using virtual site visits as an option when there's a health crisis and how to document them properly to avoid additional legal risks for your firm. It also explores how to spot situations that could turn into problems and why it's crucial to report them to your professional liability insurance carrier.
Highlights:
■ Learn how to effectively prepare for and conduct site visits.
■ Recognize what to do when there are unsafe conditions on a construction project.
■ Understand how to keep employees safe, especially when performing site visits during a public health crisis.
