It was a busy year of training for Sellen. In addition to continuing OSHA 30 training for superintendents and OSHA 10 for all the field employees, AGC Safety Team member Sellen completed employee training for a wide range of topics, such as forklifts, asbestos awareness, blood-borne pathogens, and hazardous waste operations and emergency response. Nearly 100 employees were trained as a qualified rigger/qualified signal person.

Foremen were the focus for 2011, and Sellen provided specific training to all its foremen and safety staff in communication, dynamic stretching and the use of daily safety planners. Continuing professional development of safety staff included root-cause analysis training, ASSE Professional Development Conference, and two two-day workshops.

Sellen established high standards for cord management and housekeeping, following the adage that a clean site is a safe site.
