Sterling Insurance Group & Amerisure present:
Don’t get left in the smoke: Demystifying Medical Marijuana & OSHA Compliance in 2018
Is your organization OSHA compliant these days? If you’re hiring, and your dream candidate tests positive for marijuana – but has their medical marijuana license – do you know how to proceed? These are big issues in the insurance industry currently, and they’re both causing a lot of confusion and frustration across all industries. No one wants the Department of Labor (DOL) on their case. Sterling Insurance Group and Amerisure Insurance cordially invite you their joint event: Don’t get left in the smoke: Demystifying OSHA Compliance, Medical Marijuana & more.
Between new OSHA electronic reporting laws and medical marijuana being on the ballot in November, there are a lot of questions out there. Did you know OSHA’s new electronic reporting rule impacts nearly all establishments? An employer with multiple establishments may need to submit electronic reports for some establishments, but not for others. Join us as Sterling brings in the experts at Amerisure to uncover the truth about these issues businesses are facing on a day to day basis.
Be sure to RSVP for this important, timely event before space runs out!
