Northside Consulting Group Pres. Addresses LI Water Commissioners

North Bellmore, NY; June 6, 2019 - As part of an ongoing Educational Speaker Series, Long Island water commissioners recently received a detailed presentation on New York State Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau (PESH) Trainings along with Sexual Harassment Prevention Policies during a Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA), which consists of commissioners representing 21 Long Island water districts. Hosted by The Roslyn Water District and its Commissioners William Costigan, Michael Kosinski and Dr. Sanford E. Klein, the speaker program is part of the NSWCA’s on-going Workplace Safety & Training series and was hosted by the Roslyn Water District, and Commissioners.

The presentation was led by Guest Speaker Brendan Narell, President of Northside Consulting Group Inc. of North Bellmore, who commented during the meeting, “The need for all municipalities and governments, including water and fire districts, to train personnel is both constant and ever-evolving, and, by law, all must meet Federal and New York State standards. This is also time sensitive. For example, in New York, it is mandatory for all such employees to complete interactive sexual harassment prevention training no later than October 9, 2019. Future training is to be completed on an annual basis.”

Drawing from his perspective of over 15 years dealing with the changing landscape of various programs available, Mr. Narell, who is currently Chief of Department of the North Bellmore Fire Department, an instructor at the Nassau County Fire Academy, and teacher as well as administrator for Kellenberg Memorial High School in Uniondale, NY, reviewed other required annual trainings with the water commissioners in attendance. These topics included Workplace Violence, Right to Know (HAZCOMM), Workplace Safety, and Outdoor Worker Safety.

NSWCA President and Oyster Bay Water District Commissioner Michael F. Rich III, commented, “All NSWCA member districts regard the safety and training of water district employees with utmost seriousness and attention to detail. We truly appreciate the depth of Brendan Narell’s presentation regarding both mandatory and additional training programs.”
