Working around and with electricity can expose workers to serious hazards that could result in electrocutions, burns and arc flash injuries. In addition, OSHA has requirements based on NFPA 70E that you must understand and comply with to assess electrical hazards and minimize the associated risk of injury. That’s why electrical safety should be an important element of any company’s workplace safety program.

Nearly 22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise at work each year, in industries as diverse as manufacturing, construction, sports venues and airports. The good news is that hearing loss is preventable.
Register today to gain a clearer understanding of your responsibilities as they pertain to occupational noise exposure and hearing conservation. We’ll save 10-15 minutes at the end of this webinar to answer your questions.
Type I hard hats, designed to protect workers from blows directly to the top of the head, are increasingly being phased out for Type II helmets. Although Type I hard hats protect against certain impacts, Type II safety helmets are intended to protect workers from lateral impacts to the front, back, side and top of the head. It’s important to note that no current testing standard for safety helmets requires testing for rotational motion, one of the most common causes of traumatic brain injury.
During this webinar, Joe Brandel will discuss the industry’s current shift to Type II helmets from Type I hard hats, what to know about rotational motion and its role in TBIs.
Join the leaders in personal protective equipment, PIP, to help identify and address the main causes of heat stress and dehydration on the job in both indoor and outdoor environments. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the “whats” and “whys” behind heat stress and dehydration solutions engineered to help drastically improve an organization’ heat stress prevention program. The webinar will also cover important details regarding OSHA’s National Emphasis Program, as well as the NEW ANSI-ASSP A10.50 heat stress management in construction standard.
Join us for a training session on rooftop safety, during which we’ll cover critical areas such as access points, rooftop openings and unprotected edges. We’ll also discuss common rooftop fall hazards, applicable OSHA codes and the risk assessment matrix that guides decision-making to protect workers. Dan Huntington, a rooftop safety expert, will provide practical tips and help you make informed decisions that affect worker safety.
OSHA requires employers to implement lockout/tagout procedures to keep equipment from starting up unexpectedly and causing injury during repairs. Lockout/tagout procedures themselves always follow the same basic steps, but it can be a daunting task to put OSHA’s requirements into practice because of the huge variety of machines being used and tasks being done.
Today, the risk and safety community often questions why we emphasize psychological aspects of workplaces when safety breaches persist. This overlooks the role of social factors in multiplying risks. With a workforce spanning five generations and diverse communication styles, including contingent labor, we face heightened challenges in safety communication. Outdated methods fail to address risks effectively, necessitating a shift toward fostering supportive networks and positive risk communication. This presentation is aimed at integrating psychological safety elements into work systems, reducing workplace risks and errors.
In today's fast-paced world, navigating the complexities of safety program management can be daunting. Traditional paper and pen methods often lead to inefficiencies, especially as organizations expand and regulations evolve. Embracing digital safety software offers a transformative solution to this challenge.
By digitizing your safety program, you can overcome the limitations of paper-based systems, streamline processes and mitigate the risks associated with manual errors.
OSHA’s new worker representative rule is set to go into effect May 31. Employees can request a nonemployee representative to join portions of an OHSA inspection. This can be a union representative, even at a nonunion workplace. We’ll review what OSHA said and provide an unbiased review of what this rule means, and where it leaves uncertainty.
To help prevent injuries and create a safe working environment, employers are required to identify hazards in their facilities. But how you go about that is the tough part. During this webinar, J. J. Keller experts will explain the three main types of hazards that cause falls: unsafe environment, unsafe equipment and unsafe behavior. They’ll also cover three fall prevention strategies
