Organizations are working diligently to increase the levels of diversity in their workplaces because they understand that it plays a vital role in achieving successful results. It creates an opportunity for businesses to draw from a talent pool composed of

Health and safety management systems are based on international standards, expert consensus and good practices. Audits are a vital part of the management system process because they enable the company

EXPERIENCE LEVELS: [1] Fundamental, [2] Intermediate, [3] Advanced

CONCURRENT SESSIONS 9:45–10:45AM

Leadership, Like You’ve Never Seen It Before [All]PRESENTER: Connie Podesta, CEO, Connie Podesta Presents, LLC, Plano, TX

In a perfect world all employees would be high achieving, self-motivated, engaging, team players who see the big picture and always strive to do their best to get the job done on time without complaining. Bottom line: In the real world many

employees simply “meet expectations,” lack initiative, bring their personal life to work, stress over every change and whine about having to WORK . . . on the job! Learn the attitudes, mindsets and strategies necessary to create a team that’s willing, able and excited to get the job done THE RIGHT WAY!

Promoting Home Safety Through Work [1]PRESENTER: Erin Petersen, Coordinator, Family Safety Programs, Minnesota Safety Council, St. Paul, MN

An off-the-job injury, either to an employee or a family member, can result in time lost from work as well as distraction, emotional and physical suffering. This session will provide an online tour

of comprehensive materials, tools and resources available to help you begin or expand off-the-job safety efforts in your workplace.

Ergonomics: Trends and What’s New [1]PRESENTER: Steve Gutmann, President, S.H. Gutmann Consulting, LLC, White Bear Lake, MN

There isn’t an OSHA standard for ergonomics, so why are companies focusing so much on it? What are the incentives in a tight economy? This session will explore emerging ergo trends, both general and office-based issues, provide an update on current

OSHA activity, and provide plenty of time for attendee questions.

Drugs and Alcohol in the Workplace: The Road Ahead, Part I [2]

PRESENTERS: Lt. Don Marose, SFST/DRE State Coordinator, Minnesota State Patrol, St. Paul, MN; Craig Trepanier, Attorney at Law, Trepanier MacGillis Battina P.A., Minneapolis, MN

Drug and alcohol use among employees puts them (and other employees), the public and your company at great risk. By implementing policies and providing training you can help eliminate potential risk and liability. Learn about health, safety and work performance issues associated with drug and alcohol use among employees; recognition and identification techniques; tips for handling various scenarios and how traffic safety can be affected by this issue.

Ladder Safety and the New NIOSH App [1]PRESENTER: William Stuart, MPH, CSP, Safety Consultant Principal, MNOSHA, Workplace Safety Consultation, St. Paul, MN

This session will address the major cause of ladder falls and discuss a NIOSH smart phone app that provides interactive and easy-to-use graphic oriented safety tools, checklists and guides for ladder users.

Minnesota in the Crystal Ball [All]PRESENTER: Steve Hine, Director, BLS Cooperative Programs, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, St. Paul, MN

about what those trends could mean for business in Minnesota.

Active Shooter/Armed Intruder: Lessons Learned and Updates [All]

PRESENTER: Stefan Salmonson, PPS, President, PROtective Services, Inc., Mora, MN

discussion of possible motive and intent. We’ll also discuss defining imminent danger, de-escalation methods, benefits of security/risk assessments, survival options and due diligence considerations.

SESSIONS 11:15AM–12:15PM

Communicating Across the Generations at Work [All]PRESENTER: Kit Welchlin, President, Welchlin Communication Strategies, Minneapolis, MN

Relationships are not a luxury. They are a necessity. Having a high degree of technical skills is not enough to ensure a successful career. A person must also possess a high degree of interpersonal communication competence. With four different

generations converging upon the workplace, everyone needs to be equipped with practical strategies to deal with the differences. If you’re a 28-year-old manager, how do you establish credibility without seeming arrogant? If the Baby Boomers have most of the good jobs in your organization, how do you keep your young people around? If you are significantly younger than everyone else on team, how do you get people to listen?

TUESDAY, MAY 3


EXPERIENCE LEVELS: [1] Fundamental, [2] Intermediate, [3] AdvancedTUESDAY, MAY 3

Big Data and Leadership Engagement [2]PRESENTER: Chuck Pettinger, PhD, Process Change Leader, Predictive Solutions, Oakdale, PA

Many companies have good safety cultures; few have great ones! Great cultures generally have strong leadership engagement. However, gaining leadership engagement can be difficult, or seemingly impossible. Securing true engagement at the upper

levels of organizations requires safety leadership. If your leadership team is not “walking the talk,” your organization will never reach the next step in its cultural evolution. We will review a case study to help participants create leadership engagement through using big data from their safety intelligence and move their safety cultures from good to great.

How to Complete a Security Assessment [2]PRESENTER: Stefan Salmonson, PPS, President, PROtective Services, Inc., Mora, MN

ISO or insurance requirements? What topics/areas should be reviewed? How best to document the process? What are the

deliverables? Are there recognized standards? These questions and many others will be answered in this security assessment/ survey overview.

Drugs and Alcohol in the Workplace: The Road Ahead, Part II [2]

PRESENTERS: Lt. Don Marose, SFST/DRE State Coordinator, Minnesota State Patrol, St. Paul, MN; Craig Trepanier, Attorney at Law, Trepanier MacGillis Battina P.A., Minneapolis, MN

In Minnesota, employer testing of job applicants and employees for drugs and alcohol is governed by the Minnesota Drug and Alcohol Workplace ACT (DATWA), Minn. Stat. §§ 181.950-181.957. DATWA applies to all employers that conduct drug and alcohol testing of job applicants, employees or independent contractors in the state of Minnesota. This session will provide an overview of the elements an employer must require in their written testing policy before an employee or job applicant can undergo drug or alcohol testing.

OSHA Inspection Update [All]PRESENTER: Nancy Zentgraf, Director, MNOSHA Training and Outreach, St. Paul, MN

This session will discuss how the inspection process works. It will cover all aspects of the process including how organizations are chosen for inspection, the different types and priorities of inspections, how an inspection is conducted, and the criteria for how citations and penalties are issued.

Five Steps to Improve Ergonomics in the Office [1] [2]PRESENTER: Kent Hatcher, Director and Ergonomics Engineer, Humantech, Inc., Ann Arbor, MI

Today’s office workplace is a challenging, ever-evolving environment. New technology, remote work and the increasing pace of business can have far-reaching effects on employee health and well-being. The hours you spend at a desk can take a toll on your

health — especially if your workspace isn’t carefully designed.

6½ Simple Tools to Prove Value, Gain Cooperation and Save Lives [All]

PRESENTER: Rodney Grieve, Owner, BRANTA Worldwide, Sacramento, CA

Rodney’s session is based on years of hands-on experience, observing “the good, the bad and the ugly” of safety management. Through facts, stories, humor and participant exercises, learn to think differently about your safety program. Come away

with the tools to create immediate, positive change.

OSHA/HAZCOM: MNOSHA/RTK – Compliance Directives You Need to Know [All]

PRESENTER: William Stuart, MPH, CSP, Safety Consultant Principal, MNOSHA, Workplace Safety Consultation, St. Paul, MN

Minnesota OSHA adopted the revised Federal Hazard Communication Standard in September 2012. Most people can now recognize the GHS aspects of the standard. You’ve probably trained all

your employees and have been converting your existing program(s) to meet the compliance requirements, right? Are there aspects of your revised program that you might have missed? Come find out!
