The Human Factor in OSHA Enforcement and Compliance

Your company has a great occupational safety and health program.  It trains its employees and has a safety incentive program that employees love.  Then an employee ignores his training and fails to lock out a machine, injuring himself, and OSHA comes knocking.  This webinar will explore the human factor in occupational safety and health and how it impacts OSHA enforcement actions.

Topics covered will include:

• Acknowledging that OH&S programs can only minimize risk, not eliminate it
• Factors that lead to a successful OH&S program, including training, auditing, and discipline
• How to instill a safety culture at your company with employee buy-in
• Determining leading indicators of OH&S risks rather than relying on lagging indicators
• How to defend an OSHA citation where the condition cited resulted from employee misconduct.
• How to establish the employee misconduct defense
