    Webinar: Grain, Feed, Processing and Export Industry Update on COVID19: OSHA Guidance and Workplace Safety

    3:00 p.m. ET

    Featuring the highly regarded OSHA lawyer Eric J. Conn, OSHA Practice Group Chair at Conn Maciel Carey, this webinar will break down the workplace safety implications of OSHA’s recently issued “Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19,” which defines risk categories and provides recommendations on how to protect employees. Topics include:

    ·     OSHA, CDC, and other guidance for managing infection control in the workplace generally

    ·     Regulatory issues and best practices associated with voluntary and mandatory use of respirators or other face coverings

    ·     Illness recording/reporting issues

    ·     How to respond to employee or OSHA complaints. 

    OSHA’s definition of “workplace” covers everything from office buildings to country elevators; if you are operating in either a grain handling facility or an office, this webinar is a valuable preparedness tool.

    Webinar: Impacts of the Transportation System on Agricultural Products

    3:00 p.m. ETVirtual

    Transportation costs are a core component within the soybean, corn, and related agricultural products supply chains. Congestion and wait times lead to delays that increase those costs and reduce efficiency.

    In 2019 the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) conducted a study for the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service with the goal of identifying transportation costs associated with these goods. This research was developed to aid consumers in better understanding the importance of the transportation system and its effects on soybean and corn product prices.

    Join David Ellis, Brianne Glover and Max Steadman, all of Texas A&M Transportation Institute, on Thursday July 9 at 3 pm ET for an in-depth look at the research and outcomes.
