Falls are the leading cause of occupational fatalities and disabling injuries. They cost companies millions of dollars each year. Every employer must provide training for each employee who might be exposed to fall hazards. This course is designed to provide training on how to recognize fall hazards and methods of evaluation, and how to implement protective measures – all according to OSHA Standard 29CFR1926 Subpart M (Construction Industry).
This intensive course is designed for business owners, safety managers, supervisors, foremen, crew leaders and all other who are responsible for the safety of employees exposed to fall hazards. This course will bring you closer to 100% fall protection. The knowledge you gain will reduce your chances of devastating injury and workers’ compensation costs.
Reservations Required – please RSVP to info@hbal.org or call 402-423-4225 if you would like to attend.

Succession Planning
Presented by Shannon Filing, ActionCOACH Lincoln
It is never too early to build a succession plan for your business.
If you own a business, no matter what stage it is in, you should have a succession plan, even if you don’t plan on selling your business right now. Succession plans are simply planning for your success during growth, company and leadership changes, unexpected illness or injury, extended time off, as well as selling. We will outline areas to consider when putting together a succession plan, building a business by building a team, the value of systems and processes, and ultimately valued assets of your business that don’t show up in a spreadsheet. In these 60 minutes, we will define action steps needed to build independence from the day to day running of the business along with insights to consider if choosing to sell your business someday.
