Perhaps you are the general contractor on a construction project in which an employee of one of your electrical subcontractor is electrocuted after failing to lock out a circuit he was working on.  Can OSHA cite you for an OSHA violation?  Or perhaps you run a factory where an employee of a temporary staffing company unwittingly puts his hand in a nip point in a place he is not supposed to be and gets injured.  Can OSHA cite you for an OSHA violation?  These scenarios ask to what extent is a company liable for hazards created by other companies with whom the company works.  How far does your company’s OSHA liability extend?

This webinar will address this question by discussing OSHA’s multi-employer doctrine, OSHA’s temporary worker initiative, and OSHA obligations regarding contracting parties.  Participants will learn:

• The scope of OSHA liability for multi-employer worksites
• The scope of OSHA liability regarding temporary workers
• Best hiring practices for contractors and temporary workers
• Best practices for training requirements for contractors and temporary workers
• What to do when OSHA conducts an inspection at your worksite as a result of an injury to another company’s employee.

It’s been just over a year since the international occupational health and safety (OH&S) standard, ISO 45001, was published. However, for many businesses, the effect this standard will have on their business and supply chain still remains unanswered. With the clock ticking on the 3-year transition period, businesses need to begin taking the steps towards the new requirements now.

The standard, a result of a five-year process involving more than 70 countries, seeks to set a new benchmark in global OH&S by providing effective, real-world solutions for worker safety.  As a relatively new global standard, ISO 45001 will continue to shape the health and safety profession and directly impact how organizations manage health and safety, both in and out of the workplace, through hazard controls and risk reduction.  In other words, ISO 45001 is here and may impact your business whether or not you adopt the new standards.

This webinar will provide an introduction to ISO 45001, including discussion of:

• What ISO 45001 is and how it fits into existing OH&S standards
• Differences between ISO 45001 and its precursor, OHSAS 18001
• Why ISO 45001 matters and its impact upon your business
• Should your company come into compliance
• How your company can come into compliance

Training for BBS and safety have not advanced significantly over the past several decades, but the world we live in and our workforce have. Up until recently, training options have been limited to classroom sessions and long computer modules that check the box but often don’t do much to improve results.

Enter microlearning, a relatively new concept that supports today’s work environment and prepares your workforce for future success. On the scenes since 2012, microlearning helps employees better remember critical safety information and change their behavior to actually move the needle on the safety metrics that matter most to your business.

In this webinar, we’ll share real-world examples of organizations that have been leveraging microlearning as a critical component of their safety excellence strategy and behavior-based safety programs to change behavior, drive down safety incidents, and instill a safety culture. We will examine what you need to have in place to be successful with microlearning and how it can support you in your efforts to achieve safety excellence.

Specifically, you will learn:

• What microlearning is (and isn’t)
• What you need to have in place to set up your organization for success
• How microlearning can impact each phase of BBS
• 3 examples of companies that are using microlearning and getting results

Every company’s supply chain is critical to maintain production and ultimately the success of the company. Companies that fail to work with their vendors, suppliers and contractors (supply chain) to identify, detect, monitor and mitigate their safety and health issues, risk the real potential of interruption of the supply chain’s ability to provide the contracted services or goods. The result is the loss of business and profitability for the company as a result of the company’s inability to meet the demands and requirements of their clients because of the supply chain default.

This program will examine how companies can work with their supply chain to identify, detect, monitor and mitigate safety and health risks which could cause disruption of services and products to the company. The program will also discuss how to focus on supplier risk management in order to collect, analyze and manage the safety and health supply chain. Also, there will be an examination of the supplier performance information to identify red flags within each vendor, supplier and contractor. Finally, the program will discuss how focusing on these issues will lower our supply chain risk while improving productivity and profitability of the company.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding how your company’s supply chain impacts its ability to meet your client’s needs;
• How to gather the data and information from your supply chain in order to identify potential safety and health risks;
• How to help your supply chain members understand how failure to identify and mitigate safety and health risk will impact the continued success of their companies and;
• How to assist your supply chain member in developing the policies and procedures to address identified risks and follow-up to ensure the identified risks have been addressed.

Employee safety must come first – for the health of both workers and the bottom line. Safe employees are more likely to trust management and be engaged in their work and willing to identify and solve problems. Changed safety processes and changed employee mindsets lead to significant quantitative benefits from increased production performances to reduced worker compensation costs and health premiums.

In this webinar, we’ll use real world examples to outline why organizations must address people and culture long before applying new tools. We will examine systematic approaches to safety excellence that focus on the human element.

Key Takeaways:

• How to win the hearts and minds of those you lead
• How small wins can improve overall morale and lead associates to success
• How organizations can align plant operations to the overall strategic goals of the company
• Achieving individual and Organizational Change

When performed correctly, a Dust Hazards Analysis (DHA) identifies complex combustible dust hazards and provides techniques to mitigate these hazards. Unfortunately, all DHAs are not created equal and serious hazards are often overlooked. This webinar will discuss the minimum requirements for any DHA, the importance of qualified individuals and common overlooked hazards.

This webinar will discuss the minimum requirements any DHA should meet, regardless of the types of varying factors (e.g., process equipment, building compartment configuration, types of combustible dusts, etc.). Some of the most common inadequately identified or missed hazards often seen during DHAs will also be discussed. We’ll review the combustible dust hazards documented during several DHAs and OSHA compliance inspections from the viewpoint of a former OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officer (CSHO). This webinar will also review how OSHA standards relate to the DHA requirements prescribed in NFPA 652 and other NFPA combustible dust standards.
