8C     International Safety Opportunities – A Long Journey (Basic)
Tim Galarnyk – Construction Risk Management Services, Inc

Venturing outside of the U.S. to provide construction safety consulting, training and/or public speaking can prove more chal-lenging that just concerns over language barriers. This speaker will address some of these challenges and provide some practical solu-tions. Another preconceived notion that many domestic construction industry professionals have is that foreign countries are way behind the U.S. in technology. This notion will be explored by the introduc-tion of “better mouse traps” that have been developed in other countries. We are seeing more imported construction technologies used on our sites and they are often safer and more productive than traditional means and/or methods of building.
