Learn 10 Common Due Diligence Errors?and How to Avoid Making Them

Safety professionals focus a lot of time and energy on due diligence. That is, they try to ensure that their organizations take all reasonable steps to comply with the OHS laws and protect workers from foreseeable hazards, and that the organization can prove it exercised due diligence in court if necessary.

But companies and individuals don’t always get it right. Fortunately, you can learn from the due diligence mistakes made by others by attending our webinar, 10 Common Due Diligence Errors Made by Companies & People, on Nov. 4, 2015.

In this one-hour session, OHS lawyers David G. Myrol and Kathleen Garbutt from McLennan Ross will provide:

  • An overview of the legal requirements of due diligence
  • Case Law Analysis: What judges are telling us about due diligence in recent cases
  • A summary of 10 common mistakes companies and people are making as to due diligence.

And there will be a 15 minute Q&A at the end of the session in which you can ask your own questions about due diligence.

The Nov. 4th webinar is free for all OHS Insider members, who can register here.

Non-members can register for $99 (plus taxes) here.

In the meantime, the OHS Insider has many articles, tools and other resources on due diligence, including each year’s Due Diligence Scorecard (here’s Part 1 of this year’s Scorecard) as well as:
