A seminar examining construction-site safety procedures will be held from 10 a.m. to noon March 23 at the state Department of Labor offices in Wethersfield.

“Knowing how to properly protect yourself and recognizing what to look out for while on a construction site can literally mean the difference between life and death,” said Catherine Zinsser, a certified safety professional who will conduct the class and review OSHA regulations.

Ways to minimize risks involving scaffolding and ladders, electrical hazards and trenching will be reviewed.

Admission is free, but pre-registration is required. Contact Zinsser at catherine.zinsser@ct.gov or (860) 263-6942 to register, or to obtain additional information.
