OSHA 10‑Hour General Industry Safety & Health Training
The OSHA 10‑Hour General Industry course provides foundational safety and health training for employees, supervisors, and managers working in non‑construction environments. This course is designed to build awareness of workplace hazards, reinforce employer and employee responsibilities, and promote a proactive safety culture. Ideal for entry‑level workers as well as those with supervisory or safety responsibilities, the OSHA 10 serves as both an introduction to OSHA requirements and a practical refresher on core safety topics commonly encountered in general industry settings. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how OSHA standards apply to their daily work, how to recognize and control hazards, and how everyone plays a role in preventing injuries, illnesses, and incidents on the job.

NATMI Training & Certification
According to NATMI, recipients who enrolled in a NATMI training and certification lowered their organization's accident rate by 86%, achieved a lower occupational injury rate by 83%, and controlled costs associated with accident litigation by 100%. The cost of participating in NATMI is minimal compared to the company’s day-to-day operational savings.
The Certified Director of Safety (CDS)/Certified Safety Supervisor (CSS) course is designed to help safety personnel attain a greater professional knowledge base that should, in turn, provide greater confidence to improve operations, prevent and control injury and damage, as well as the ability to provide strong representation such as during a court case.

Covered or Exposed? What Your Business Doesn't Know About Cyber Risk
In this webinar, hosted by Cottingham & Butler and UnRavl, cyber specialists will pull back the curtain on the misconceptions and blind spots that leave businesses vulnerable and underinsured. We'll walk through the real-world consequences of application inaccuracies that lead to denied claims, explain how threat actors can sit silently inside a network for weeks before striking, and break down what a ransomware response actually looks like.
We'll also challenge two of the most dangerous assumptions in cyber risk today: that compliance means you're protected, and that cloud storage means you're safe. Whether you've had a cyber policy for years or you're evaluating coverage for the first time, this session will give you the clarity to make smarter decisions before an incident forces your hand.
