Organizations like yours employ EHS professionals to help keep front-line employees safe from harmful workplace exposure. But to do this successfully, you need to accurately identify hazards that put your employees at risk.  With technology, instead of having a few EHS professionals identifying hazards and managing risk for thousands of employees, companies can turn to their employees for help. As your first line of defense and best access to hazards and potential risk visibility, your employees should be empowered to help your EHS professionals source exposure hazards across your company. With recent advancements, you can now make that process much easier than ever before.

During this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Implement different methods for your front-line employees to report exposure risks
• Empower employees with innovative technology like wearables, IoT, big data, and more
• Elevate exposure risk management as a key pillar in holistic employee well-being

Employee training is often required by regulation but providing training in non-mandatory topics can help better protect your employees and your company’s bottom line. Your overall goal should be ensuring the safety, welfare, and productivity of your workers, not merely satisfying a particular compliance obligation. All training should help employees protect themselves and avoid hazards, so providing training in additional areas (even if not required) gives employees more information to remain safe — and helps protect your business as well.

This presentation will focus on six topics that often cause problems even when employers do provide training. They include:

• Hazard Communication, which consistently appears in OSHA’s top 10 list of most-violated regulations;
• Powered Industrial Trucks, another in OSHA’s top 10 list, where training includes operator evaluations;
• Active Shooter/Bullying, which is not required by law, but bullying occurs in nearly every workplace, and preventing violence should be an employer priority;
• Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), also in the top 10 violations list, which creates the potential for serious injuries and fatalities;
• Bloodborne Pathogens, which impacts many employers – any company with designated first aid responders must provide this training annually; and
• Sexual Harassment, which many employers provide to new hires — but the continued prevalence in workplaces suggests that training could be more effective.

Many manufacturing and processing facilities face air quality issues. Wet or dry particles can become airborne when food, metal, chemicals or pharmaceutical products are produced or when paper or wood are processed. If left to accumulate in the air, this dust and mist causes numerous safety hazards for operators and the facility.

This webinar will discuss common causes of contaminated air, health & safety risks related to poor air quality, specific issues associated with fine dust and mist, and OSHA regulations governing facility air quality. It will also present ways to improve air quality and ensure quality return air using high efficiency filtration.

In this lively presentation, you’ll learn:

• Why your employees aren’t hearing you and what you can do about it.
• Why visual communication works.

Training and behavior-based safety (BBS) programs haven’t changed much over the past few decades, but the world—and workforce—has. Manufacturers are now operating in a new reality, with a leaner and more diverse workforce that is expected to know and do more than ever before. If employees don’t know the right thing, or do the wrong thing, it can result in incidents that impact employee morale, turnover and your bottom line.

Organizations know they need an effective BBS strategy, but many struggle to implement programs which achieve desired results. Until now…

Join EHS, along with Terry Mathis (Founder & CEO of ProAct Safety) and Carol Leaman (CEO of Axonify) on Wednesday, December 12th from 2 – 3 pm EST as they discuss strategies for taking your BBS program to the next level, such as:

• Building a proactive culture that promotes safety
• Weaving short bursts of daily training into your frontline’s routine to make safe behavior a habit
• Using microlearning to support each phase of BBS

By listening to this webinar, you will:

• Better understand how you can improve your safety programs with ISO 45001
• Learn how to quantify the business impact of those changes, and
• Learn how to articulate the benefits of ISO 45001 to your executive team to drive organizational action.

Everyone knows that safety is a business imperative. It helps to keep your people safe and your operations productive and profitable. Not everyone realizes that safety can be a significant driver for business performance. But, in order for safety performance to influence your business performance, you need a strong culture of excellence built on a shared corporate vision—and that requires continuous, organization-wide engagement.

When employees are engaged and working together towards common goals (like safety), it improves organizational culture and, ultimately, elevates business performance. In other words, the relationship between safety, culture, and performance makes an ideal catalyst for improving every area of a business.

Unfortunately, most manufacturers struggle to effectively engage their frontline employees, so safety excellence, organizational culture and business performance suffer.

Join Ryan Hellman (President and CEO of Hellman & Associates) and Carol Leaman (CEO of Axonify) on Friday, November 30th from 2 – 3 pm EDT as they explore:

• How engaging employees on a continuous basis helps build a proactive culture of safety excellence
• Strategies for reducing safety incidents and injuries to improve quality, productivity and profitability
• Real-world examples of organizations that are using safety performance excellence to drive business results
