SUMMARY:Staying Safe When Digging: Excavation & Trenching Basics
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, August 29 and Wednesday\, August 30 at 2:00pm Eastern (1 hour +) Eastern – ZOOM\nCPWR – The Center for Construction Research and Training \nDirt is heavy. Really heavy. One cubic yard of dirt is the weight of a mid-sized car. For this reason\, excavating the earth’s surface for any reason can be dangerous\, especially when that excavation takes the form of a trench – a cavity deeper than its width and narrower than its length. If an excavation cave-in occurs (even a partial one)\, workers can be crushed in seconds\, even if their head and arms remain above the dirt. Join CPWR – The Center for Construction Research & Training\, the Associated General Contractors of America\, OSHA Region III\, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to learn more about staying safe during excavation activities. Dr. Douglas Trout will review the basics of excavation and trenching safety and our contractor safety specialists from Ed Bell Construction Company and BTConstruction will follow up by sharing their practical experience from the field along with information on activities and initiatives they are engaged in\, including\, for example\, the Trenching Excavation Safety Task force (TEST) to increase awareness and prevention of excavation injuries and fatalities. \nNOTE: A Spanish audio option will be provided through the use of a simultaneous translation service. \nNOTA: Se proporcionará una opción de audio en español a través del uso de un servicio de traducción simultánea. \nClick here to register and submit questions in advance.

SUMMARY:Ergonomics: Good for Employees\, Good for Business
DESCRIPTION:What’s the webinar about?\nEvery year work-related musculoskeletal disorders (e.g.\, sprains and strains) make up about 30-35% of workplace injuries and about 35-40% of direct injury costs. Ergonomics has been proven to be a cost-effective way to prevent these injuries and business losses. And yet\, many companies are hesitant to embrace ergonomics because it is often not fully understood and at times politicized. But times are changing. More and more companies are engaging ergonomic programs to gain a competitive advantage by not only reducing injuries and related costs but also by boosting productivity. \nWe will discuss:\n\nThe changing ergonomics regulatory landscape\nWhat ergonomics is all about\nHow ergonomics can be value added to your company\nA 5-step process your company can use to reduce injury risk and increase operational efficiencies\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nEHS Professionals\nOperations/Production Managers\nManufacturing/Process Engineers\nFacilities Managers\nHuman Resources Managers\nAnyone interested in learning more about ergonomics!\n\n\n\nFeel free to invite your colleagues! \nPresenter:\nEd Havey\, M.S\, CPE\, Ergonomics\, ehavey@complianceplace.com \nModerator:\nErin Rymsa\, Director of Training Services\, erymsa@complianceplace.com  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Hunan Side of Safety: Overcome Objections and Address Motivation to Increase Participation
DESCRIPTION:Getting employees more involved in safety requires understanding their motivations. To improve your safety culture\, you need worker buy-in and support. Many safety professionals have wondered\, “How do I increase employee participation?” While there is no simple answer\, employees will participate more if they want to — too often\, they simply choose not to participate. The question should be\, “What would make employees choose to participate more?” If employees and supervisors understand the value and benefits\, they’ll participate more. \nWe Will Share Ideas on Overcoming These Challenges Such As: \n\nShowing employees why safety matters by demonstrating how it impacts them personally.\nDealing with reluctant (often experienced) workers who push back against the rules.\nDealing with those (often younger) workers who think they’re invincible or won’t get hurt.\nTips for increasing participation\, such as identifying workers to be safety advocates and leading from the middle.\nTips for supervisors who must support safety or could undermine your efforts.\n\nAnd much more! \nSponsored by ISHN and J.J Keller Safety Managment Suite \nClick here to Register.

SUMMARY:HazCom\, Hazmat\, HazWaste\, and HAZWOPER: Navigating OSHA\, DOT\, and EPA Chemical Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Does your company manufacture\, package\, transport\, store\, use\, and/or dispose of chemicals? If yes\, this webcast applies to you! Chemicals play a vital role in the U.S. economy. However\, some chemicals pose an environmental\, health\, and/or safety risk during their chemical life cycles. \nWhether you call them hazardous chemicals\, hazardous materials\, hazardous wastes\, or hazardous substances\, these chemicals are often regulated by OSHA\, DOT\, and/or EPA. In fact\, the following chemical standards remain some of the most confusing regulations covering millions of companies nationwide: \n\n29 CFR 1910.1200 — OSHA Hazard Communication Standard\n49 CFR 171-180 — DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations\n40 CFR 260-262 — EPA Hazardous Waste Standards\n29 CFR 1910.120/1926.65 — OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standards\n\nThis webcast explores these four major sets of regulations to help you better navigate the basics of chemical compliance. The more you understand them\, the easier\, faster\, and less costly your compliance efforts may be. So don’t miss out.

SUMMARY:Bloodborne Pathogens Terminology: Exposing the regulation one term at a time
DESCRIPTION:Although the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard has been around over three decades\, it continues to confuse employers. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 is cited 300 to 500 times each year\, making it a frequently violated regulation in Part 1910. Perhaps the confusion and noncompliance may be found in the very text of the standard — legal terminology that has been with the standard from the very beginning. \nThe Bloodborne Pathogens Standard defines 28 terms in its definitions section\, so the use of these words and phrases may make this particular regulation a challenge for employers in general industry. \nThis webcast explores: \n\nDefinitions of the key terms in the standard\,\nOSHA’s intent\, and\nAnswers to your questions.\n\nThe better you understand the terminology\, the easier\, faster\, and less costly your compliance efforts may be. So don’t miss out. Register today! \nRegister for this free webinar!\nDATE: February 14\, 2024\nTIME: 2:00PM ET – 1:00PM CT – 11:00AM PT \n\nOH&S Sponsored Free Webinar \n\nRSVP Today

SUMMARY:How Nudge Theory Can Reduce Hand Injuries: A Nudge Led Approach to Hand Safety
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW: \nEver found yourself wondering why workers have absent minded accidents? \nIt 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. \nBecause 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. \nIn 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. \n\nWhat “nudging” is and how it can be used to reduce or eliminate hand injuries\nHow to assess work environments for place to institute nudges\nPractical examples that can be implemented\nWhat pitfalls to avoid when creating nudges\n\n  \n\n\n\nRegister Today!
