How Nudge Theory Can Reduce Hand Injuries: A Nudge Led Approach to Hand Safety
2024-04-17 08:00 - 17:00
OVERVIEW:
Ever found yourself wondering why workers have absent minded accidents?
It turns out our brains are engineered to optimize efficiency and respond swiftly. Most of our decisions aren’t the result of careful, rational thought. Instead, 90% or more of our decisions are driven by instinct. While this might be beneficial in saving time or effort, it doesn’t always result in the wisest decisions regarding our safety.
Because of this, the environment and context in which we’re making safety decisions plays a tremendous role in shaping our actions. This is good news! As Superior Glove has learned in their work with behavioral experts, we can reduce and eliminate injuries with tiny tweaks in workers’ surroundings—”nudges” that can sway decisions and spark positive behavior.
In this webinar, Superior Glove’s Sarah Gibson and Aaron Harroch explain what nudge theory is and how to apply it to create a safer workplace that can change worker behavior.

What “nudging” is and how it can be used to reduce or eliminate hand injuries
How to assess work environments for place to institute nudges
Practical examples that can be implemented
What pitfalls to avoid when creating nudges

Facility Safety – Elevating Safety in Warehouse, Distribution Center and High Injury-Rate Retail Establishments: A Risk-Based Prioritized Approach
3:00PM ET / 2:00PM CT / 12:00 PT
Hottest Third-Party Solutions from: MARTOR
OVERVIEW:
In today’s fast-paced supply chain, where the demand for quick and accurate deliveries has never been higher, the safety of your warehouse and distribution center operations is pivotal. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people working in warehousing applications has grown tremendously in the last several years, and injury rates have grown out of proportion – with injury rates significantly higher than industry averages at more than five injuries per 100 full-time workers annually. This underscores the critical need for an emphasis on protecting workers from a multitude of common warehouse hazards.
In fact, OSHA has kicked off a National Emphasis Program (NEP) on Warehousing and Distribution Center Operations.
This webinar will share some details about the OSHA NEP, and help you take a risk driven, priorities-based approach to keeping warehouse and distribution center workers safe. Learn about key warehouse safety risks including those that OSHA has its sights on, like slips, trips, and falls; ergonomic and musculoskeletal injuries; powered industrial vehicle accidents; material handling, and heat stress – but also others that might stem from warehouse growth and new technologies. The webinar will cover solutions for addressing hazards such as processes for hazard identification and risk analysis, effective safety training, materials handling equipment and education, ergonomics solutions, and warehouse traffic management.
Learn how addressing these priorities creates a safer work environment, reduces the risk of accidents and injuries, and enhances overall productivity and morale among warehouse workers. Reserve your spot today!

Eliminating Electrostatic Hazards to prevent Dust Explosion: Case Studies and Strategies
2024-05-09 14:00 - 15:00 | Webinar
The risk of combustible dust explosions in industrial settings, initiated by electrostatic discharges, presents a significant challenge to maintaining safety and reliability in processes involving flammable particulates. This webinar delves into the critical examination of electrostatic hazards, with a particular focus on combustible dusts as potential fuels for explosions triggered by electrostatic discharges. Through a combination of case histories and use of laboratory test data, our study emphasizes the importance of early detection and diagnosis of electrostatic phenomena that could lead to combustible dust explosions.
This webinar scrutinizes two incidents: one involving the ignition of a dust cloud by electrostatic discharge in a simple sieving operation, and another in the production of flake where an electrostatic discharge led to a combustible dust explosion. By employing diagnostic tools and utilizing materials’ data, we were able to trace the electrostatic pathways that contributed to these incidents. We identified the processes and equipment where charge generation and accumulation occurred, leading to the conditions favorable for an electrostatic discharge that could ignite the combustible dust atmosphere.
This webinar highlights the key factors influencing charge generation and accumulation, discharge mechanisms, and the specific conditions under which a combustible dust atmosphere can become ignitable. The incidents studied showed early warning signs of electrostatic accumulation, which, if recognized and addressed, could have averted the incidents. Our approach emphasizes the critical role of understanding electrostatic charge generation, accumulation, and discharge incendivity in preventing dust explosions through practical and targeted interventions.
In conclusion, our findings provide insights for companies handling combustible dusts, offering a path toward enhancing safety protocols, reducing the risk of dust explosions, and maintaining operational integrity through the control of electrostatic discharges.

Free Webinar: Developing a Heat Illness Prevention Program in Construction
2024-06-26 13:00 - 14:00 | Webinar
Wednesday, June 26 at 1:00 p.m. ET (1 hour)
It’s heating up outside, which means hotter working conditions for those in construction. According to OSHA, employers are responsible for providing workplaces free of known safety and health hazards, including heat-related hazards. The best way to prevent exposure to these hazards, or at the very least, to lessen the impact of heat and hot weather, is to develop and enforce a Heat Illness Prevention (HIP) Program. CPWR has developed two checklists to assist with the development of an overall HIP program and its daily enforcement on each unique job site. On this webinar, we will review these checklists and share some key background information on HIP planning before spending most of the hour in a focused Q&A discussion with our panel of experts, including both researchers and representatives from labor and management. Please submit your questions in advance during registration, as we will use those to inform the discussion!

Moderator: Chris Trahan Cain, CIH, Executive Director, CPWR

· Kathleen Dobson, Safety Director, Alberici Constructors, Inc.
· Ryan R. Papariello, GSP, Safety & Health Specialist, Laborers’ Health and Safety Fund of North America

Free Webinar: OSHA and Heat Stress: A Hot Topic in 2024
2024-06-27 14:00 - 15:00 | Webinar
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is an estimated 702 deaths, 67, 512 ER visits and 9,235 individuals hospital per year due to environmental heat exposure. In addition, there were 436 worker deaths since 2011 according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. To reduce the numbers of deaths and injuries due to heat related issues, OSHA in 2022, created an emphasis program to help employers better protect their employees.
This webinar will examine the Top 5 Steps of OSHA’s Heat Illness Emphasis Program, analyze factors that can affect a worker’s ability to cope with heat and discuss potential controls to reduce the number of workplace injuries and deaths caused by environmental heat exposures.

How often should Hazard Communication training be updated to ensure compliance?
What resources are available to help organizations improve their Hazard Communication training?
The Hazard Communication standard is regularly found in OSHA’s Top 10 list of most frequently cited serious violations, and training – or a lack thereof – is often cited as a reason for the violation. In the past year, over 850 citations were issued for “missing or inadequate measures to provide hazard information to employees or to provide proper training.”
This webcast delves into HazCom training requirements and breaks the information down into manageable pieces. We’ll also talk about recent changes to the HazCom standard. Time will also be reserved for a live question and answer session. Don’t miss out!
