Event Workshops Include...
Reducing Serious Injuries & Fatalities - 3 Approaches & Their Effectiveness
Presented by Don Wilson, Vice President - SafeStart, a division of Electrolab Limited
For at least the last decade, organizations in the forefront of safety performance have noticed a disturbing trend – while overall injury rates have been steadily declining, serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) have either been reduced at a much slower rate or, in many cases, have actually stopped improving altogether. Some companies are even beginning to question if their “Zero Harm” initiatives and focus on the TRIR number are actually making this situation worse by diluting the focus of improvement strategies away from what really matters. This session will look at three different approaches for improving what is arguably an organization’s most important safety performance metric.
By the end of the session, each participant will be able to:
- Identify the strengths and limitations of reducing SIFs in the three major influence areas for safety: Personal, Social and Structural
- Gain insight into the tools required to operate successfully in the personal area and learn why normal workplace safety tools aren't effective for portable 24/7 use
- Re-wire automatic (subconscious) brain processes to help protect from SIFs 24/7 through: Real Experiences (the school of “Hard Knocks”), Vicarious Experiences (learning from the “War Stories” of others) and Imagined Experiences (thinking about possible severe negative outcomes after a minor injury or close call when SIF potential exists)
How to Prepare for and Manage OSHA Inspections
Presented by Amanda Czepiel, JD. Senior Managing Editor, EHS - BLR
OSHA can show up at virtually any moment, and employers in most cases will not receive advance notice of the visit. Knowing what happens during an OSHA inspection and what to do during one can ensure things run smoothly for both employers and employees. Since OSHA has increased its penalties in recent years, being prepared for an OSHA inspection and knowing how to contest a violation is more important than ever.
Attendees of this workshop will learn how to:
- Understand what triggers an OSHA inspection and prepare for the different types of inspections your facility could face
- Effectively manage the beginning steps prior to the inspection
- Handle inspector requests for documents such as audits, training records, accident reports, and near-miss reports efficiently
- Navigate closing conference, follow-up requests, and informal settlement discussions
- Appropriately manage employee interviews
- Document what the inspector documents through the use of notes, photographs and videos
How to Deliver OSHA-Compliant Training in a Multimedia World
Presented by Dave Galt, Senior Legal Editor, EHS Training - BLR
Many companies provide their safety training online as part of an overall training program, and a growing number offer a significant portion of their training online. But does online training alone meet OSHA training requirements? OSHA says no. You will learn about the employee training content and delivery methods that OSHA prohibits, allows, or recommends in its rules and policies, including online or eLearning, classroom, on-the-job training, and even the use of email.
Emerging Safety Regulations and OSHA Enforcement Trends You Need to Know
Presented by Amanda Czepiel, JD. Senior Managing Editor, EHS - BLR
Everyone expected OSHA enforcement to be down in the first few years of the Trump administration, that regulatory activity would screech to a halt, and that the budget would be realigned. However, what really happened is that OSHA enforcement is, if anything, up; regulatory actions have continued; and the Agency budget increased $5 million in 2019 over FY2018.
Employers have no reason to think they are not at risk for enforcement for safety violations. The need to understand changing compliance requirements and upcoming regulatory updates is as high as ever.
In this session, we will discuss:
- ​Recent OSHA enforcement data and trends
- How the OSHA’s recently enacted Site-Specific Targeting Inspection Plan could affect your facility
- Rulemaking developments and predictions, including the status of the electronic recordkeeping rule, HazCom, and lockout/tagout
- And more!
