Employee Engagement * Safety Leadership * Synergy Across Data and Processes

One of the cornerstones of successful and high-impact EHS programs is getting employees engaged as key stakeholders of health, safety, environmental stewardship and compliance. Organizations spend thousands of dollars in training employees, both on the frontline as well as in the corporate offices, to be equipped with essential tools for risk and compliance management, thereby ensuring safety and improving productivity for all stakeholders. However, employee engagement persists to be a critical challenge for companies.

Join Perry Hawkins, Corporate Director of Environmental, Health, Safety and Risk Management at CIRCOR International Inc., a global, multinational manufacturer of industrial valves and pumps; and Tina Duffy, Vice-President of Product Management at ProcessMAP Corporation, the leading EHS data intelligence platform provider, in this webinar to learn how you can achieve transformational EHS outcomes with successful employee engagement & recognition, and safety leadership to drive your EHS initiatives.

Combustible Dust poses one of the highest safety risks to a surprising variety of industries; some of whom do not realize that their processes and materials generate combustible dust – dust that could trigger a deadly explosion or costly six-figure OSHA fines. Some studies have claimed that the average cost of abating Combustible dust violations after an inspection approaches one million dollars. Industries, such as food, wood, chemical, plastics, and metals are regularly affected, but if you have bag houses and dust collectors, you may be affected.

In this session, we will discuss the basic process of combustible dust explosions and deflagrations, legal issues, common OSHA errors, and the roles of counsel and experts with practical workplace experience. We will discuss how experts and attorneys sift through the multiple applicable consensus standards, and state and local ordinances to come up with the best approach; often less costly than first anticipated.

The often neglected and misapplied first step is to conduct a dust hazard analysis or Process Hazard Analysis. This webinar will provide viewers with a guide to identifying combustible dust hazards, as well as touching upon the principles of dust clouds and ignitable atmospheres, mechanics of dust flash fires and explosions and how to analyze processes and buildings to determine where dust fire and explosion hazards may exist, and ways to mitigate hazards.

Digital Transformation has had a profound impact on how businesses operate, the way people work, and the trend continues to accelerate. The potential for digital innovation to improve safety and operational performance is great. Technologies such as sensor-equipped wearables, digital beacons, and augmented reality provide real-time interaction for workers with the work environment and safety/risk management system processes and procedures. But merely applying technology is not inherently useful. The real value is the interaction of technology with the total organizational system and the people and processes comprising it.

During this webcast, LNS Research will explain how safety and operations leaders can use digital innovations to enable the connected worker, improve safety, and mitigate risk.

      What you will learn:

• Impact of Digital Transformation on the workplace, and why it’s an opportunity for safety and health leaders
• How to engage the workforce to reduce risk using the EHS 4.0 framework
• What are the technology enablers that leading companies use today
• Real-world connected worker use cases to improve safety
• Recommendations to facilitate low risk, high-value digital innovation projects

      Who should attend:

• VP/director of EHS
• Safety and health leaders
• Compliance leaders
• Risk leaders
• Operations leaders
