Astoria, OR – According to the state officials, the Mid-Oregon Construction Safety Summit will be held Jan. 29-30, 2024.

It will reportedly address a variety of topics, including fall protection, excavation safety, silica exposure risks, electrical safety, and safety technologies.
Attendees will have access to a range of training sessions, including the OSHA 10-hour training for construction, work zone safety and flagging, rigging and signaling for cranes, and first aid.
