- Seminar 1 - Your Permitting Checklist to Success
First time’s a charm? Probably not. The permitting process can be overwhelming, but we’ve worked with a permit specialist on a checklist to ease the process. Local permitting professionals and Munn Enterprise employees will share helpful tips to foster better relationships with your local permitters and explain different approaches to help move the permitting process along. You will walk away with a step-by-step checklist to get your application approved!
- Seminar 2 - Safety: SIGNS of a Good Installation
Safety is a sure SIGN of a good installation! Our second seminar will focus on the do’s and don’ts of the installation process to keep your employees safe and help prevent accidents from happening. Hear from a sign company Safety Consultant as they run through troubleshooting and guidelines geared towards new hires. These tips will ensure your company is prepared for OSHA both in the shop and out in the field.
- Demonstration - The Art of Troubleshooting: Power Supplies & Wiring Faults
Munn Enterprises service techs are prepped and ready for a hands-on demonstration that is sure to be electric! Our final segment of the morning will focus on testing power supplies, wiring faults, and more. We will walk through the “how to’s” and maybe even some “definitely do not’s” and get the opportunity to troubleshoot fluorescent and LED test cabinets.
