Werner to Train 25,000 Construction Professionals in May
Werner, a manufacturer of a complete line of climbing products and fall protection equipment, will lead more than 200 training events in support of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) safety initiative. The safety events are organized from May 7-11, 2018 and will be conducted nationwide, including high-visibility events where both Werner and OSHA representatives will be participating.
