Milford, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/19/2018 -- Merlo Construction is proud to announce new safety requirements for all superintendents and foremen at the company.

The 10 and 30-hour programs offer a comprehensive overview of site safety, from entry level basics right up to deeper and more varied training covering all aspects of safety procedure.
"All outreach training is intended to cover an overview of the hazards a worker may encounter on a job site." - osha.gov
