The Production Infection Control Course

Keeping job sites safe and protecting people during the Covid-19 crisis.

We are excited to announce our Spring 2021 PICC: COVID Officer/production training. The Spring 2021 PICC (Production Infection Control Course), is an entirely new version of our prior PICC, with a heavy focus on legal, the current state, and future role of the COVID Compliance Officer or Health & Safety Manager. This course will take place live on Monday March 8th 2021 (NYC time 2pm -14:00)

Despite the advances in treatments and the rollout of very effective vaccines, it’s still a mess out there. The recent decrease in new COVID infections has flatlined. Experts are still concerned because even though the line is flat, it’s still way too many new daily infections.

With the lack of a concrete national strategy, many states have gone in different directions regarding COVID safety, yet our objective has been consistent. We aim to set and maintain a high standard across all sets and locations.

This course will go in-depth regarding the role of COVID compliance officer or Health and Safety Manager. There are tested and proved updates in “best practices” in the world of COVID-19, both from a safety standpoint and legal perspective.

Joining us as panelists in this course webinar is Thomas Maddrey, Attorney/Founder of Maddrey PLLC and General Counsel for the ASMP, as well as Marc Auerbach, Founder of Safe Production Services.
