BNI members have a network who helps us be more valuable and useful to our clients because we get feedback from a chapter of people around us helping each other succeed.

Chapter-member Provenio Consulting took a lesson from that playbook and made their business cards a valuable safety tool that many industrial facilities need...a no-go gauge to make sure the bench grinder is adjusted safely!

When the tool-rest on a bench grinder has a large gap, work can get pulled into the grinder, causing the grinder wheel to shatter while spinning hundreds or thousands of RPMs. The tongue-guard on the top is designed to contain that shrapnel if the wheel explodes or a piece of metal gets pulled through the grinder. This is also an easy citation for OSHA to spot walking through the shop.

Chapter-member Provenio Consulting was awarded a MnDOT contract to provide OSHA 30 for Construction and first aid/CPR/AED training for minority small-business owners who want to get into doing construction projects for MnDOT. This is a great, free opportunity to advance their business! We would love to get introduced and register them!

If you know of any minority-owned small business owners who would like to do work for MnDOT (road construction, excavation, commercial construction for DOT buildings, masonry, etc.), Provenio Consulting has a contract with MnDOT to provide 4 sets of OSHA 30 for Construction and first aid/CPR/AED training around the state in the Duluth, St. Cloud, Rochester, and Metro areas over the winter. The classes are completely free for the participants and paid by MnDOT and involve 5-days of training to help small business owners who need to understand the safety requirements of doing construction work. Please put them in touch with us! We'd love to get them registered so they can pick up some awesome contracts and move their businesses up! One way we offer more value for these classes is bringing in a lot of guest speakers who will help those business owners understand their insurance and risk management expenses & expectations, speaking with PPE providers to understand costs and how to select PPE and safety equipment, learning ergonomics from a Chiropractor or Physical Therapist, etc. Either connect us by messenger or send me an email at [email protected]
