Webinar Meeting on OSHA Recordkeeping Available Online

Also, some of you were able to attend a new project for the Fort Worth Chapter – hosting the meeting via webinar. We had several folks that normally would not have made the meeting, able to attend the webinar. The session was free of charge…as will future sessions. We were able to record the presentation hosted by Skipper Kendrick providing an OSHA update on recordkeeping that went into effect on January 1, 2010. The link to session is below. I’ve tried it and it seems to work fine.
