Breakout SeSSionS i

a. First aid update: aeDs & CPr

• What are OSHA’s requirements for in-house first aid and emergency response?

• How does proximity to community emergency response resources impact your obligations?

• Can you assign first aid responsibility to an emt-certified employee?

get answers to these questions and more.

You Will learn…

• The latest best practices

• Mandated first aid materials

• Current CPR standards

• Use of and potential liabilities surrounding automated external defibrillators (aeDs)

B. Distracted Driving: Motor Vehicle Safety Programs

motor vehicle crashes—the leading cause of worker fatalities—are on the rise, thanks to inappropriate use of mobile communication tools and increasing pressure to work faster and more efficiently. That’s why safety profes-sionals like you must take steps to protect your employees, the public, and your

business—whether you run a fleet of vehicles, or only occasionally use personal vehicles for business purposes.

You Will learn…

• OSHA’s latest “distracted” driving hazard prevention strategy

• Policies and practices to protect against distracted driving

• General motor vehicle safety

11–11:15 a.m.

Break

11:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m.

Breakout SeSSionS ii

C. Combustible Dust Hazard assessment—oSHa neP

While oSHa has a national emphasis program (nep) to inspect facilities that gener-ate or handle dangerous combustible dusts, no specific standard exists. However, oSHa cites several other standards when inspecting dangerous accumulations of combustible dust. You must be aware of the potential for dust fires or explosions, the range of business environments and operations in which com-bustible dust explosion risks arise, and the severity of such incidents.

You Will learn…

• The mechanics of a combustible dust explosion

• Critical environmental factors that can create a risk of explosion

• Proper steps to assess the potential for an explosion

• Training strategies for prevention

D. General Duty Clause: Just How Broad is it?

the general Duty Clause is a brief but powerful OSHA standard. When the time’s not right to implement new standards, the General Duty Clause is OSHA’s favorite go- to tool to address “…recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees.” Such hazards include distracted driving, ergonomic hazards, and combustible dust.

You Will learn…

• How to identify and correct hazardous situa-tions that don’t fall within an existing standard

• How to avoid or minimize the bite of a general Duty Clause citation

12:15–1:15 p.m.

Breakout SeSSionS iii

e. incident investigation & root Cause analysis

When an accident occurs in the workplace, all involved parties must understand what happened and why. More importantly, it’s essential that you implement a disciplined and effective strategy to make sure it doesn’t happen again

You Will learn…

• How to identify close calls as learning and reward opportunities

• How to sharpen your investigative tools and analytical focus

• How to build the foundation for a workplace culture of safety

F. injury & illness Prevention Programs: i2P2

oSHa is considering a new rule that would compel employers to proactively address workplace hazards by implementing injury and illness prevention (i2p2) programs. the agency is proposing that such programs contain a wide range of elements, including many that employers already include in their safety strategies. Would the new rule simply require that you formalize and document your existing safety efforts, or would it mean mak-ing significant changes?

You Will learn…

• The scope of the proposed I2P2 rule

• How you can begin reshaping your current safety strategy to comply with the proposed rule

• Steps you can take to create a comprehensive program that satisfies oSHa, potentially reduces your insurance costs, and—most important—improves employee safety, morale, attendance, and productivity

3:10–4 p.m.

CloSinG PlenarY: oSHa & WaSHinGtonregulatory agencies are often battlegrounds for politicians. When changing a law isn’t possible, attention often shifts to staffing and funding reductions within regulatory agencies. political conflicts over how much support oSHa should receive and how aggressive enforcement should be often leaves those in the agency’s field offices with the challenge of sustaining their monitoring and enforcement efforts with fewer resources. as a result, workers and businesses are subjected to inconsistent levels of oSHa enforcement.

You Will learn…

• How to sustain your OSHA compliance efforts despite conflicting messages from Washington

• OSHA’s likely direction in light of current political trends

• Where your safety efforts must focus regardless of the above

8:30–8:45 a.m.

WelCoMe & introDuCtionS

8:45–9:30 a.m.

oPeninG PlenarY: BuilDinG a SaFe & etHiCal WorkPlaCeWorkplace safety programs often reflect one or more of three principles: regulatory compli-ance, monetary savings, and ethics. regulatory compliance helps you avoid fines and citations. programs focused on monetary savings help you reduce costs from employee injury, illness, and death. those programs based on ethics guide you to do what’s necessary to provide a safe workplace, inherently encompassing compliance and savings.

We’ll review the building blocks for a culture of workplace safety—an ethics-driven environment that makes employee well-being a top priority.

You Will learn…

• The broad definition of ethics within a workplace safety context

• How the example you set influences others’ ethical decision-making

• The meaning of doing what’s right when confronted with routine work dilemmas

• Available tools and methodologies for resolving ethical dilemmas
