The Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus has had a major impact on all industries, including the construction industry. How should your company handle the spread of the variant and new masking guidance? Are there going to be more regulations on vaccines or masking? How can you help keep job sites open so that work does not stall?

Preti Flaherty's Anthony Manhart will moderate an Associated Builders and Contractors of Maine webinar on the newest variant between Dr. Dora Ann Mills, Chief Health Improvement Officer for MaineHealth; Kyle O'Connell, Safety Director for N.S. Giles Foundations; and Matt LaMourie, employment law attorney at Preti Flaherty.
