Jake Welch informed the Board that the BCRC participated in MiOSHA’s “2024 Take a Stand Event.” This event involved MiOSHA visiting the BCRC facility and reviewed safety protocols and site safety measures. They reported material that had been staged too close to the edge of a shallow excavation. Employees resolved the issue and informed MiOSHA. Otherwise the review went very well.
