Nearly seven out of 10 companies have reported electrical incident near misses in the past five years, according to a new study conducted by EHS Today and Panduit. What’s more, 40% have reported electrical incidents over that timeframe. And when asked if they’re comfortable identifying electrical hazards, 18% of safety and EHS leaders who responded either said “no” or “probably not.”

Workplace safety is of utmost importance and any level of uncertainty can pose serious risks. Administration of best safety practices can come from a variety of managerial roles, but adherence across all departments and facilities is mandatory to a successful program. Through research conducted by EHS Today and Panduit, we have a better understanding of the challenges many safety professionals face when trying to implement electrical safety technology and policies in their workplace.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

• Common challenges companies face when working toward electrical safety program improvements
• Examples of how organizations have implemented innovative safety technology like absence of voltage testers
• Relevant standards and theories that guide electrical safety best practices
• How to make a business case for investing in safety technology that decreases future costs

Employee engagement in safety is a frequent pain point among employers, and many employers turn to safety incentive programs in an effort to gain buy-in and motivate employees to prioritize safety on the job. When done well, such programs can make a positive contribution to an organization’s safety culture. However, poorly designed incentive programs are not only ineffective and harmful to safety culture—in some cases, they can even provoke scrutiny and citations from OSHA.

Similarly, although disciplinary policies are an essential component of an effective safety program, an overreliance on discipline to manage safety or a disciplinary policy that is inconsistently applied can harm employee engagement and morale, deter injury and illness reporting, and even trigger retaliation claims from OSHA. Therefore, it’s critical for organizations to carefully design and implement both incentives and discipline, balancing practical and legal considerations with effective strategies that motivate employees and contribute to a strong culture of safety.

Join us for an informative webinar on August 22 that will provide guidance on developing effective, compliant incentives and disciplinary strategies that strengthen safety, boost engagement, and stay on the right side of the law. You’ll learn:

• The impact of OSHA’s evolving guidance on rate-based incentive programs and how to adjust your programs in response
• Which incentives and disciplinary strategies can raise red flags with OSHA and how to avoid them
• How to strike the right balance between incentives and discipline to boost employee engagement in safety without deterring reporting
• Strategies to identify and implement effective incentives that strengthen your safety culture
• And much more!

During this lively webinar presentation, you’ll hear about some of the biggest mistakes made by an employer, managers, supervisors and other company representatives during an OSHA inspection. For instance, you do have the right to set the ground rules for any inspection, but it’s probably not in your best interest to demand a search warrant before allowing an inspection.

If safety leaders have an understanding of what their company’s rights are during an OSHA inspection, they’ll be more effective in defending OSHA citations and protecting workers. This webinar will discuss OSHA inspections, including the government’s tactics during inspections, including walkarounds, witness interviews, and document requests, and employers’ rights. You’ll learn how to act, how to react, and how to be proactive before OSHA even arrives.

After attending this webinar, attendees will:

• The tactics used by OSHA to get the citations they are seeking.
• What your rights are when it comes to OSHA inspectors coming onto your property and into your facility.
• Know how to respond to an accident to prepare for an OSHA inspection and third-party claim.
• Have a plan in place to prepare for an OSHA inspection.
• Understand the ramifications of issues, including matters relating to employee testimony, arising during an OSHA inspection.
• Be able to put procedures in place to enhance employee safety.

Do any of these sound like you?

• I’ve got no real maintenance management system. I never have and am intimidated about where to get started.
• I’ve got a system, but I never got it off the ground and don’t feel we get what we need from it.
• I’m making progress, but I would like to further maximize my maintenance operations.

Regardless of where you’re at, kick-starting your maintenance is possible. It starts with changing the mindset of your organization – a process that may be easier than you think if you have the right CMMS tools, plan and especially the right partner. Starting with the goal, objective and pain points first, then moving to how technology can solve those problems and put you on a better path is key.

During this discussion, you’ll learn:

• A multi-step (crawl, walk, run) plan to ease you into a continuous improvement mode and get away from maintenance firefighting
• What technologies can really help improve your operations
• How to arm yourself with information that you can use with your management to show how modernizing/kick-starting your maintenance department will help with profitability
