Description

A prominent buzzword in recent years, “big data” is giving visibility to the need for addressing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace.  A collection of ergonomics information can translate into meaningful evidence, or what we like to call a “super-ergonomics-mind”.

Collectively, Humantech’s software solutions have one of the largest and richest ergonomics-related datasets known. With close to 100,000 users and over 150,000 completed MSD risk assessments, meaningful trends have been captured and benchmarked against its 100+ global organizations. Since the company’s inception over 40 years ago, board-certified professional ergonomists, software solutions, and worldwide client engagements have contributed to this super-ergonomics-mind. This information will help safety professionals make better decisions and deploy smarter solutions with their ergonomics programs. Key statistics and meaningful trends will be shared.

Participants will learn:

• the value that ergonomics brings to organizations.
• how data can drive health & safety professionals to make change.
• how market and industry trends are identified.
• how smarter solutions improve both employee well-being and business performance.

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.

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.

Industrial machinery can expose personnel to multiple hazards resulting in a range of risks. If not properly recognized and mitigated, these risks can lead to injuries, lost production or loss of life. By law, every employer must complete a workplace hazard assessment. A thorough risk assessment includes identification of hazards, frequency of exposure, probability of injury, severity of injury and methods for reducing risk. This webinar teaches you how to assess risks associated with fixed industrial machinery and establish a risk level based on ANSI/RIA risk assessment methods. After completing this webinar, attendees will become familiar with the machine risk assessment process and understand important questions to ask.

Objectives:

• Address the importance of machine safety
• Review OSHA requirements for machine safeguarding
• Provide an overview of the many codes and standards that may be included in a machine safety and risk assessment
• Provide basic methods and tools for getting started with machine safety and risk assessments

In today’s highly competitive environment, understanding your risk is essential to good business practices. Machinery hazards can be identified, assessed, and mitigated to limit exposure to risk. Learn workplace safety requirements and U.S. machine safety regulations from the experts at UL.

The headlines are full of companies whose reputations have been threatened and damaged—sometimes irreversibly—by supply chain mismanagement. It’s not enough any more to have your own house in order. Your risk management strategy needs to ensure that every aspect of your supply chain is protected against avoidable situations, and that you can recover from unpredictable disasters. OSHA can conduct an inspection at your worksite in the event of an injury to another company’s employee—would you be prepared if OSHA comes calling?

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to protect your company from incidents caused by under-qualified or untrustworthy contractors or suppliers. Don’t put yourself at risk—financially or legally—for injuries, damaged goods, late or missed deliveries, machinery repair, insurance claims and any other problems that result from your vendors and contractors. Discover how to focus on supplier risk management; how to gather the information you need to identify potential safety and health risks; and how to work with your supply chain partners to develop policies and procedures that protect them, that protect you, and that protect every employee involved.
