Being able to analyze trends, identify hazards and keep up with compliance and regulatory standards is the holy grail of SMS and QMS. An incredible amount of data is produced, sometimes from different facilities in different countries.

In this roundtable discussion, speakers Nick Bernini, Director, Predictive Analytics and Scott Gaddis, Vice President, Global Practice Leader, EHS at Intelex Technologies, explain how that data can help EHSQ professionals make strategic decisions – financial and operational – that keep workers safe while meeting and exceeding production goals. The ability to take data and turn it into meaningful action is possible if the right data is being collected and analyzed.

Attendees will:

• Learn how to gain 360 degree visibility and get the most out of their EHSQ data.
• Discover how data can be used to create reports, dashboards, and benchmarking tools can be used to enable their organization to make smarter decisions.
• Use data to contribute to creating a culture of continual improvement and drive operational excellence.

Every employer dreads a knock on the door from an OSHA inspector. But an inspection doesn’t need to be your worst nightmare. If you take proactive steps to find and fix hazards, develop a detailed plan for handling an inspection, understand and exercise your rights, and operate in good faith throughout the process, you can significantly reduce your chances of damaging citations and fines.

While OSHA and its state counterparts cannot inspect every facility, that doesn’t mean you can afford to be complacent about the risk of an inspection. The facilities that receive visits from OSHA are far from random, and the combination of your industry, your history of violations, and your injury and illness rates can significantly raise your inspection risk. With a single willful or repeat violation now carrying a maximum penalty of $132,598, being unprepared for an OSHA inspection can be more costly than ever.

Join us for an informative webinar on October 10 that will provide guidance on planning for an OSHA inspection, navigating the inspection process, and proactively managing safety compliance to reduce your chances of citations and fines.

You’ll learn:

• The factors that can increase your risk of an inspection—and what you can do to influence them for the better
• The enforcement impact of OSHA’s Site-Specific Targeting Program
• Your rights—and your employees’ rights—during an OSHA inspection
• Who should be present during an OSHA inspection and what their roles are
• How to strike the right balance between providing requested information and protecting your interests
• Tips for navigating the process from opening to closing conference and beyond
• And much more!

For excellence in any operational category to be recognized, it is imperative employees make decisions and behave in alignment with the intended strategic direction. Strategy is a framework of choices an organization makes to determine how to capture and deliver sustainable value. How value focused are your efforts, and do the customers of your safety strategy agree with this?

Hear Terry Mathis, the founder and CEO of ProAct Safety, an international safety and performance excellence firm, explain why safety is not a standalone strategy within a business; it must be an integral part of the overall operational plan. How clear is your strategic direction? How well can employees easily see the role safety plays within it? How were employees involved in the creation and execution of your plan? W. Edwards Deming taught, “People support what they help to create.”

Employees must be able to see themselves as actors within the safety strategy. For buy-in, ownership and discretionary participation, employees must play a role in identifying where you are going, what it will look like when you get there, where you are now, what choices are made to close the gap, their role and responsibilities, how progress will be measured, and confidence that the strategy is creating sustainable value.

Ray Kanani, Senior Director of Product Strategy at Intelex, and Scott Gerard PCC, PCM, PCG, VP of Environmental, Health & Safety at Moss, will offer specific examples that highlight the importance of employee buy-in and engagement when it comes to the design and implementation level of an EHSQ software solution, as well as the important post-implementation phase and the successful adoption of engagement tools and the impact the adoption of these tools has had on the safety strategy at Moss.

Takeaways:

• Learn how high-performing and highly reliable organizations are creating and executing on their unique strategy for excellence in safety culture and performance.
• Learn how to self-assess the efficacy of your current strategy and find opportunities for continuous improvement
• Identify what data are necessary to inform and answer the ten questions necessary to create a value-focused safety strategy
• Review a methodology that has guided hundreds of organizations in the creation of their effective strategy and execution plan
• Discover what motivates and demotivates employee involvement in the pursuit of safety excellence
• Learn how to identify the 5 types of people in organizational change

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.

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!
