Manufacturers want their employees to be safe. Yet despite their best intentions, many manufacturers still lack effective practices and policies to keep workers safe. Safe employees are more likely to trust management and be engaged in their work and willing to identify and solve problems.

In this webinar, we’ll explore Milliken’s Safety structure and how you can help drive safety performance and continuous improvement by establishing associate leadership as the cornerstone of your system.

Key Takeaways:

• How a foundation of safety can build trust and engagement within your organization and leads to complete ownership of the process
• Ways to support the process through tools, education, and recognition
• Barriers and challenges to employee involvement

Your company has a great occupational safety and health program.  It trains its employees and has a safety incentive program that employees love.  Then an employee ignores his training and fails to lock out a machine, injuring himself, and OSHA comes knocking.  This webinar will explore the human factor in occupational safety and health and how it impacts OSHA enforcement actions.

Topics covered will include:

• Acknowledging that OH&S programs can only minimize risk, not eliminate it
• Factors that lead to a successful OH&S program, including training, auditing, and discipline
• How to instill a safety culture at your company with employee buy-in
• Determining leading indicators of OH&S risks rather than relying on lagging indicators
• How to defend an OSHA citation where the condition cited resulted from employee misconduct.
• How to establish the employee misconduct defense

The effectiveness of particular types of safeguards depends in part on the correct positioning of the relevant parts in relation to the danger zone. ISO 13855 primarily defines human approach speeds. These approach speeds need to be considered when designing safety measures and selecting the appropriate sensor technology. Different speeds and sizes are defined, depending on the direction and type of approach. Even an indirect approach is considered.

Viewers will learn:

• Safe distance formulas for different presence sensing devices
• Calculation techniques of stop time
• Application standards used for presence sensing devices

As safety leaders, we collect countless amounts of data: risk assessments, behavior-based activities, training records, hazard identifications, and incident investigation reports, just to name a few. Using the 5S methodology as a framework, the panelists will discuss how to organize your company’s safety data by undergoing a comprehensive review of what workplace activities act as leading indicators to drive injury prevention and how you will drive the completion of these events to develop a stronger safety culture.

This webinar introduces an exciting partnership between (2) safety industry leaders: ProcessMAP, an EHS Management Software company, and C.A.

Training for BBS and safety have not advanced significantly over the past several decades, but the world we live in and our workforce have. Up until recently, training options have been limited to classroom sessions and long computer modules that check the box but often don’t do much to improve results.

Enter microlearning, a relatively new concept that supports today’s work environment and prepares your workforce for future success. On the scenes since 2012, microlearning helps employees better remember critical safety information and change their behavior to actually move the needle on the safety metrics that matter most to your business.

In this webinar, we’ll share real-world examples of organizations that have been leveraging microlearning as a critical component of their safety excellence strategy and behavior-based safety programs to change behavior, drive down safety incidents, and instill a safety culture. We will examine what you need to have in place to be successful with microlearning and how it can support you in your efforts to achieve safety excellence.

Specifically, you will learn:

• What microlearning is (and isn’t)
• What you need to have in place to set up your organization for success
• How microlearning can impact each phase of BBS
• 3 examples of companies that are using microlearning and getting results

Every company’s supply chain is critical to maintain production and ultimately the success of the company. Companies that fail to work with their vendors, suppliers and contractors (supply chain) to identify, detect, monitor and mitigate their safety and health issues, risk the real potential of interruption of the supply chain’s ability to provide the contracted services or goods. The result is the loss of business and profitability for the company as a result of the company’s inability to meet the demands and requirements of their clients because of the supply chain default.

This program will examine how companies can work with their supply chain to identify, detect, monitor and mitigate safety and health risks which could cause disruption of services and products to the company. The program will also discuss how to focus on supplier risk management in order to collect, analyze and manage the safety and health supply chain. Also, there will be an examination of the supplier performance information to identify red flags within each vendor, supplier and contractor. Finally, the program will discuss how focusing on these issues will lower our supply chain risk while improving productivity and profitability of the company.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding how your company’s supply chain impacts its ability to meet your client’s needs;
• How to gather the data and information from your supply chain in order to identify potential safety and health risks;
• How to help your supply chain members understand how failure to identify and mitigate safety and health risk will impact the continued success of their companies and;
• How to assist your supply chain member in developing the policies and procedures to address identified risks and follow-up to ensure the identified risks have been addressed.

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
