SUMMARY:Facility Safety - Elevating Safety in High Injury-Rate Establishments: A Risk-Based Prioritized Approach
DESCRIPTION:AGENDA: \n2:00PM ET / 1:00PM CT / 11:00AM PT\nFacility Safety – Elevating Safety in Warehouse\, Distribution Center and High Injury-Rate Retail Establishments: A Risk-Based Prioritized Approach \n3:00PM ET / 2:00PM CT / 12:00 PT\nHottest Third-Party Solutions from: MARTOR \nOVERVIEW: \nIn 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. \nIn fact\, OSHA has kicked off a National Emphasis Program (NEP) on Warehousing and Distribution Center Operations. \nThis 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. \nLearn 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! \nSPONSOR: Martor® USA\, Bilco\, Honeywell Safety Products\, Lift-All®\, Bradley Corp.\, SafetyIQ\, Skillsoft\, National Fire Protection Association\, Vector Solutions \n\n\n\nRegister Today!

SUMMARY:How Nudge Theory Can Reduce Hand Injuries: A Nudge Led Approach to Hand Safety
DESCRIPTION:Register Today at: \nhttps://1105tech.com/portal/wts/uc%5EcmQeceV-6ecgcf6%7C92EmekeF-AEbAB%7EnOB%7CzYg3d \nOverview: \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. \nDate: Wednesday – May 8\, 2024 \nRegister Today at: \nhttps://1105tech.com/portal/wts/uc%5EcmQeceV-6ecgcf6%7C92EqekeF-AEbAB%7EnOB%7CzYg3d

SUMMARY:Eliminating Electrostatic Hazards to prevent Dust Explosion: Case Studies and Strategies
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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.  \nThis 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.  \nIn 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. \n  \n\n\n\nRegister Today! \n\n\n\n
