SUMMARY:Webinar: Determining the Correct ECCN or ITAR Category of Your Commodity\, Technology or Software
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDetermining proper classification of an export has always been an important part of export compliance. This includes classification under the Harmonized System as well as export control classification. \nIf the transaction falls under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) or The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) determining the proper ECCN or USML Category is the responsibility of the Exporter/Seller who may also be the USPPI. \nMisclassification can lead to seizer of goods\, fines\, penalties and even in severe cases loss of export privileges or imprisonment. \nThe combination of expanded enforcement efforts and recent changes under Export Control Reform has increased the importance and complexity of classification. \nLearn what has changed\, how to setup an effective classification process and how to keep your company compliant.  \nDon’t miss this opportunity to train your staff in the comfort of their own office! Register today! Webinar presented by Bob Imbriani of Team Worldwide. \nWho Should Attend: \n\nImport/Export Managers\, Supervisors and Coordinators\nTrade Compliance Managers\nInternational Planners and Purchasing Agents\nLegal/Contract Administrators\nInternational Traffic and Logistics Managers\, Supervisors\, and Coordinators\nSenior Administrative\, Operational\, and Finance Executives\nSales Marketing Supervisors and Managers\n\nFunded in part by DCED’s Office of International Business. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Webinar: Building Resilience Against Cyber Shocks
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe smart factory is at the heart of Industry 4.0. Here\, advanced software enables machines to communicate and make decisions\, while artificial intelligence\, robotics\, and 3-D printing transform the way products are made and people perform work. But Industry 4.0 also creates new risks and requires manufacturers to integrate security and privacy safeguards into their businesses and throughout their ecosystem — from suppliers to customers. Without these safeguards\, manufacturers are vulnerable to cyber shocks — that is\, large-scale events with cascading disruptive consequences — has never been more important. \nMany manufacturing companies in PwC’s 2018 Global State of Information Security Survey say that despite an awareness of disruptive cyber risks\, they remain unprepared to deal with them. This suggests that even though manufacturers are thinking more strategically about cyber risk management\, they stand on purely defensive footing against cyber risks and are just beginning to adopt leading practices and technologies to fight cyber risk. \nIndustrial Manufacturers know they need a significant and sustained uplift of talent and technology to fight cyber risk.  A sophisticated adversary can too easily target many Industrial Manufacturing companies. \nThis webinar explores where industrial manufacturers are most vulnerable to cyber disruptions – and how organizations can build integrated safeguards to sustain operations and avoid the common pitfalls. \nSpeaker \nE. Quentin Orr\, Consulting Partner\, PwC \nPwC consulting partner\, E. Quentin Orr\, or Q\, has 20 years of business experience focused on consulting with companies on information security and governance. He has extensive experience in the Industrial Products. Q works with clients to take a business focused approach to cyber security\, by guiding their strategy to focus on the most critical information that represents a competitive advantage and drives top and bottom line revenue. He then helps clients develop tailored\, economically feasible approaches to maximize the efficiency of their scarce security resources. \nTechnical Details \nThis webinar will be conducted using a slides-and-audio format.  After you complete your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email with details for joining the webinar. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Thought Leaders Take on Safety Transformation\, Culture\, Sustainability & Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintJoin top thought leaders as they hone in on the critical elements that lead to achieving EHS excellence. \n\n\n\n\n\nEric Conn\nPartner\nConn Maciel Carey\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect from Trump’s OSHA in the New Year \nThe Trump Administration has taken the reins at OSHA\, and the first year of the new OSHA’s enforcement and regulatory (or de-regulatory) agenda is in the books.  We have already seen significant changes in the way OSHA does business and the tools available to the Agency in its toolkit.  Now\, as the Trump Administration finishes filling out the OSHA leadership team with its own appointees\, we are sure to see more shifting of enforcement priorities\, budgets and policies\, and an amplified effort to repeal or re-interpret controversial Obama Era OSHA rules and policies.  This presentation will forecast for employers the changes and developments at OSHA employers can expect during this period of flux.\n\n\n \n\nCarl W. Heinlein\, CSP\, ARM\, CRIS\nSenior Safety Consultant\nAmerican Contractors Insurance Group\n\n\n\n\nEmerging Trends \nSeveral emerging trends and issues will impact the occupational safety and health profession in 2018. This Ted-style talk will discuss the use of drones (UAV)\, new educational/training tools\, the use of robots\, new communication and tracking tools\, driving safety resources and fatigue tracking devices\, all of which will influence the practice of OHS in the coming years.\n\n\n\n\nJA Rodriguez Jr.\, CSP\, SGE\nCEO\nMake My Day Strategies LLC\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s up for the EHS profession in 2018 and beyond? More than meets the eye…. \n2018 is anticipated to be a big year for change. Future success will be achieved by adopting an enhanced mindset focused on anticipation\, preparation\, and action in regards to delivering excellence to both internal and external customers. The future of our EHS profession is in the capable hands of those who understand that we must evolve to the point of transformation at a rate slightly higher than the speed of business and of those who embrace a relentless drive to exceed mission requirements.\n\n\n \n\nDanny Shields\, CSP\nDirector\, Industry Relations\nAvetta\, LLC  \n\n\n\nWhere Do We Find OHS Within the Sustainability Movement? \nAlthough initially not recognized as an important aspect of sustainability\, increasing occupational safety and health (OSH) and supply chain continuity and reliability have raised the profile of OSH in the sustainability conversation. In Danny’s presentation\, you’ll learn how the pillars of sustainability—environmental\, economic\, and social factors—intersect with OSH.\n\n\n\nSponsored by  \n \nTechnical Details – This webinar will be conducted using a slides-and-audio format.  After you complete your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email with details for joining the webinar. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Happiness Isn't the Key to Employee Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe saying “a happy employee is an engaged employee” isn’t as true as we once thought. Many business leaders are striving to make their workforce happier in order to retain their top talent and increase productivity. But a happy employee doesn’t mean and engaged employee\, and making culture decisions to drive happiness (think snacks and happy hours) won’t produce sustainable ROI.

You’ll learn: \n\nThe true definition of employee engagement and state of the workforce today\nA four-step process to create and foster meaning with your employees\nThe incredible business success and best practices from three meaning-focused companies\n\n\n\n\nNikki Lewallen\, Head of Partnerships\, Emplify\n\nNikki Lewallen is the CEO of Rainmakers\, a business development organization that accelerates growth for small to mid market businesses through fostering relationships. Nikki has been a flagship accelerator to the organization’s global footprint over the past 11 years. Nikki’s mission is to inspire people to their true potential doing what they love. As a keynote speaker\, after many years of sharing the message Loving Mondays\, Nikki realized her true calling in the employee engagement industry. In 2017\, Nikki made a strategic leap to Emplify to build nationwide partnerships to impact 1 million employees in finding true meaning in their work.\n\n\n\nJoe McMurry\nPeer Group Solutions Consultant\, Purdue Manufacturing Extension Partnership\n\nJoe McMurry is Purdue Manufacturing Extension Partnership’s (MEP) resident leadership expert and CEO roundtable facilitator.

SUMMARY:Hand Safety: Are Gloves Enough?
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDid you know? — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 13 million workers in the U.S. are potentially exposed to chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin. Gloves are an important element of PPE intended as a first line of defense to protect hands. But\, just because you’re providing gloves to workers doesn’t mean you have hand protection covered. While gloves play an important role in protecting hands\, they are often the source of issues effecting skin health that can lead to serious skin disorders\, resulting in lost productivity and absenteeism. In fact\, 25% of lost workdays reported are due to work-related skin disease. Implementing a tailored skin safety program that works alongside the use of gloves encourages skin safety best practice and long lasting behavior to reduce risk to organizations\, promotes the overall health and safety of workers\, and can result in significant cost savings related to treating serious skin health issues. \nWebinar attendees will learn: \n\nRisks to skin from prolonged glove use\nRecognize early signs of skin condition issues\nElements of an effective skin safety program\nHow to implement a sustainable skin safety regimen\, with or without gloves in use\n\nSpeakers \nIndustrial Hygienist\, Senior Technical Training Manager – Deb USA\, an SC Johnson Company \nArmand Coppotelli is an Industrial Hygienist and Senior Technical Training Manager for Deb\, an SC Johnson Company. He has more than 25 years’ experience advising best practices to maintain good skin health. Over the course of his career\, he has lectured in AIHce roundtables and has served as AIHA section guest speaker. He also has hosted presentations on overcoming work related skin dermatitis for many occupational medicine/nursing organizations including: Chicago area occupational nurses section\, the Australian Occupational Health Nurses Association and the Toronto Occupational Physicians Association. He has implemented corporate skin care programs for large scale manufacturing operations such as Goodyear Tire & Rubber\, Amtrak\, Rohm & Haas\, BASF\, Lear and Delphi\, and has served on the Protective Clothing & Equipment Committee of the American Industrial Hygiene Association.
