May 9-11, Minneapolis, MN

HOTEL RESERVATION DEADLINE: APRIL 17

This new two-and-a-half day workshop will focus on AC 150/5370-2G and provide an overview of operational safety on airports from project planning through construction and project closeout. Participants will hear from the FAA, airport operators, consultants, and contractors about how project safety measures are planned, designed, and implemented – and how it affects the construction of airfield projects. Construction Safety and Phasing Plans (CSPP) creation, implementation, submittal, and best practices will be discussed. The workshop will also cover specific examples of safety measures, communication and coordination protocols, phase change considerations, and the ramifications of not complying. The roles and responsibilities of various team members and agencies will also be discussed. 

Attendees will further enhance their learning throughout the workshop with interactive small group case study problem solving exercises, speaker roundtable discussions, and valuable networking with industry colleagues and experts.
