NSSGA offering noise, dust workshop at AGG1

The National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association‘s (NSSGA) Noise and Dust Workshop will co-locate with the 2015 AGG1 Academy & Expo. According to NSSGA, the workshop will begin March 19 – the last day of AGG1 – and run through March 21.

“Co-locating with AGG1 offers major value to participants,” says Joe Casper, NSSGA’s vice president of safety. “Prior to the start of the class, they can take advantage of the additional educational opportunities provided by the AGG1 Academy, including a number of classes in the Environment, Safety and Health Track.”

According to Casper, the Noise and Dust Workshop offers a hands-on opportunity to better monitor and mitigate sound and air hazards to protect workers. Rocky McKinney of the MSHA Academy will lead the workshop at both the Baltimore Convention Center and Bluegrass Materials’ Texas Quarry, the site of the AGG1 Quarry Tour.

Casper urged those considering the workshop to sign up quickly. The class is limited to the first 20 registrants.
