SUMMARY:Understanding the Difference Between a Near Miss\, Incident\, and Accident
DESCRIPTION:Location: Frisco 9 \nSpeaker: Todd Marciniak – Northern Concrete Pipe \nDescription: \nIt is important that everyone knows and understands safety terminology and how to approach different situations. Not utilizing safe work practices can create situations where we encounter incidents\, accidents\, and near misses.

It is crucial to realize that these events/situations have distinct meanings\, each with a different level of risk and consequence. \nSpeaker Bio: \nTodd Marciniak has 26 years of experience in the concrete product manufacturing industry.
