8 Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. One year ago, ABC Southeastern Michigan brought on a new director of safety, Drew Maltese and he celebrated by providing the ultimate safety training on March 3 at the ABC SEMI office. Drew has provided basic safety training services like First Aid/CPR/AED training, and OSHA 10 and 30 training to ABC members either at the ABC office or member’s office. However, Drew felt it was necessary to dig below the surface and provide more resources to member companies’ safety professionals. “It’s very important that we all use every resource in our toolbox to make sure everyone works safe,” Maltese said. “With that, I wanted to break down the myth that members can’t reach out to organizations for help without the fear that they’re going to be put on a ‘watch list.’ That’s why I reached out to MIOSHA to share their expertise and to make connections with our members.” Brian Roulier, an industrial hygiene consultant at MIOSHA, shared the accident prevention program details, which provides consultation and training to Michigan employers about the general industry safety and health practices, but they do not issue citations. 26 attendees from 14 different companies celebrate their commitment to making 2023 the safest year yet.
