Description
OSHA/MIOSHA have a specific focus in the construction industry to prevent suicide given the high numbers of working age people committing suicide compared to other industries. In addition, suicide is prevalent in all areas of our society and certainly impacts families, communities, workplaces, and fellow working people.
Often, simply hearing the potential may be difficult and having the hard conversations even more so. Through this training we will discuss what is happening in industries as well as how we can better equip ourselves for these challenges.
Presenter
This webinar will be taught by Michigan Department Of Labor & Economic Opportunity Deputy Director Sean Egdan:
Sean brings a wealth of experience across all areas of our economy. Sean was in the Navy and after his service served an apprenticeship and became a Journeyman Electrician through the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).
In 2007 he was elected by the members as the head of the Local Union representing construction electricians, manufacturing, broadcasting, and electrical motor service industries. His duties included managing the non-profit operations and representational activities for members.
Sean earned a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in finance from Davenport University, and a Juris Doctor (JD) from Thomas M. Cooley Law School going to classes nights and weekends.
He continues to serve our communities as an avid volunteer through the A. Phillip Randolph Institute, his Local Union and Labor Council, the United Way as a volunteer tax preparer in the VITA program, and pretty much anywhere groups are focused on helping people lift themselves into the middle class.
Most recently he served as General Counsel to IBEW Local 876 which represents working people in energy, construction, government, utility, line clearance, and other industries.
Sean’s focus at LEO will be on Labor, primarily overseeing MIOSHA, Workers Disability and Compensation Agency, the Bureau of Employment Relations, and the Wage & Hour Division. He also supports LEO’s efforts across the spectrum as his experience spans many of our goals.
