Emily Lorenz, P.E., LEED

AP, SevGen Consulting

Heard of EPD’s yet?

If not, you will. EPD

requests are on the rise

for all types of building materials. An

environmental product declaration (EPD)

is a standardized method of measuring

the environmental impact of a product.

The EPD is written based on that

product’s category rule (PCR). Once the

PCR is complete, it becomes the basis

for a life cycle assessment (LCA). The

manufacturer then uses the PCR, the LCA

and any other relevant environmental data

to create an EPD. This course contains a

thorough explanation of the process and

what you can do to prepare yourself when

that EPD request arrives. Additionally, in

partnership with PCI and CPCI, NPCA is

currently developing a North American

Precast Concrete PCR. An update on this

project will be provided during the course.

At the conclusion of this course, you

will be able to:

• DescribeaPCR,anLCAandanEPD,

teams, interviews, safety complaints,

investigations, enforcement actions,

OSHA’s whistleblower protection and

inspector requests for documents during

and after an inspection or investigation.

We will lead you through the maze

of regulations and issues concerning

OSHA inspections and whistleblower

protection. This interactive session

will provide participants with hands-

on practice in surviving an OSHA

inspection. Additionally, through activities

Evan Gurley, NPCA

What can you do if during

a post-pour inspection

you find that a hole was

cast into the wrong side

of a tank? Or, what will you do if the

reinforcing steel cage is showing at the

surface? There really isn’t much you

can do at this point – you want to catch

these serious errors sooner rather than

later. Positioning of reinforcement and

embedded items is critical, and a good

pre-pour inspection can pinpoint potential

positioning problems. This course will

discuss what exactly to look for during

pre-pour and post-pour inspections to

prevent the dreaded filling of the plant’s

bone yard.
