Current and prospective Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Midwest contractors are invited to attend one of the three NAVFAC Midwest Safety Symposiums scheduled during the months of December 2011, and January and February 2012 at various locations in the Midwest. The symposiums will include discussions of the newly revised Safety Source Selection Criteria the government will be using when evaluating proposals. They will also cover thoughts on creating and maintaining a safe work environment and ways of improving mishap prevention efforts. In addition, a speaker from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will discuss new enforcement initiatives in the construction industry. There will also be time for a facilitated round table discussion with attendees.
