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

One of the challenges that continues to be controversial and has sparked numerous debates within organizations is proper application of LOTO. Varying interpretations and understanding of the standards places companies in a difficult and many times a costly position.

Our goal of this webinar is not intended to teach LOTO or how to write and implement LOTO procedures, but rather look at when to use LOTO versus when to use Machine Guarding for each task. Allow Schmersal to provide some insight as to the differences between the two methods and why to use LOTO on some tasks and machine guarding on other tasks. One does not replace the other, they work in conjunction to maintain effective machine safeguarding.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Know that LOTO and machine guarding work in conjunction with one another and is not a replacement for each other.
• Develop a task based analysis to determine tasks fall under LOTO or Machine Guarding.
• Determine and justify the definition of normal, routine, repetitive tasks or minor servicing.

According to OSHA, a little more than a third of workplaces that were required to file their reports online this year did not file. As a safety professional, your responsibility is to return your employees home safely. But you are also required to submit reports and document activities so you stay in compliance. Managing all of the tasks can be challenging, without tools to support and employee buy-in to engage in your safety program.

In this webinar, safety expert Langdon Dement will discuss the role of employee engagement in managing an effective safety program, and share a new easy-to-use tool that promotes proactive reporting and streamlines the process for submitting files to OSHA and other regulatory bodies.

Join this EHS webinar to learn:

• What Microlearning is all about
• How Microlearning can play a crucial role in shaping your safety culture

What to Expect from Trump’s OSHA in the New Year The Trump Administration has taken the reins at OSHA, and the first year of the new OSHA’s enforcement and regulatory (or de-regulatory) agenda is in the books.  We have already seen significant changes in the way OSHA does business and the tools available to the Agency in its toolkit.  Now, as the Trump Administration finishes filling out the OSHA leadership team with its own appointees, we are sure to see more shifting of enforcement priorities, budgets and policies, and an amplified effort to repeal or re-interpret controversial Obama Era OSHA rules and policies.  This presentation will forecast for employers the changes and developments at OSHA employers can expect during this period of flux.

Emerging Trends Several emerging trends and issues will impact the occupational safety and health profession in 2018. This Ted-style talk will discuss the use of drones (UAV), new educational/training tools, the use of robots, new communication and tracking tools, driving safety resources and fatigue tracking devices, all of which will influence the practice of OHS in the coming years.
	JA Rodriguez Jr., CSP, SGE CEO Make My Day Strategies LLC
What’s up for the EHS profession in 2018 and beyond? More than meets the eye…. 2018 is anticipated to be a big year for change. Future success will be achieved by adopting an enhanced mindset focused on anticipation, preparation, and action in regards to delivering excellence to both internal and external customers. The future of our EHS profession is in the capable hands of those who understand that we must evolve to the point of transformation at a rate slightly higher than the speed of business and of those who embrace a relentless drive to exceed mission requirements.
	Danny Shields, CSP Director, Industry Relations Avetta, LLC
