DON’T CUT COSTS & INVITE AN OSHA CITATION
Reducing Hand Injuries, PPE Costs & Maintaining OSHA Compliance
Date and Time: March 11, 2010 at 2:00 PM EST.
Speaker: Ansell
In today’s economic environment many companies are striving to reduce costs in every aspect of their plant operations. Decision makers often target personal protective equipment (PPE) for cost-cutting measures and implement changes without fully understanding the impact on worker safety.
At the same time companies are trying to reduce their PPE expenditures, OSHA is stepping up enforcement activity and adding inspectors. Companies can achieve cost reduction mandates without reducing worker protection by making smart PPE choices.
This webinar will address the following:
- The present situation and the challenges companies face
- Common hand injuries and their causes
- OSHA compliance and selecting the right PPE
- How to balance PPE costs with worker protection
The presentation will include several case studies detailing various situations and challenges, the solutions implemented and the results. The case studies also provide estimated cost savings.

How to Achieve a World-Class Ergonomics Process
Benchmarking Results from Industry Leaders
Speaker: Walt Rostykus, Humantech Vice President (CPE, CEP, CIH) and James Mallon, Humantech Vice President (CPE)
Legislated ergonomics standard or not, recession or boom time, companies are realizing the benefits of integrating a sustainable ergonomics process within their business operations. The approach to managing and reducing ergonomic injuries and their costs vary widely. And, while there is not one ‘right’ way, a three-month, cross-industry benchmarking study was completed to help us understand how companies with successful ergonomics programs have approached this important issue.
This one-hour webinar will share the results from Humantech’s 2010 Ergonomics Benchmarking Study. We will present the current trends and best practices for improving workplace ergonomics.
Questions to be addressed include:
- What is the current benchmark for ergonomics injury incident performance?
- What are the most effective methods for managing the ergonomics improvement process?
- What metrics are used to drive these ergonomics processes to success?
- Who is involved in the ergonomics process and which roles are critical?
- How is training used to support the ergonomics process?
At the end of this session, you will understand the key elements for managing a successful ergonomics process and you will be able to evaluate how your company’s ergonomics process measures up.

Ergonomics and Productivity
Speaker: Dr. Mike Zedalis, Ansell Senior VP Science & Technology
As production demands increase and worker compensation costs continue to rise, many companies are considering ergonomic solutions to reduce worker injuries and improve performance. The hands are exposed to endless hazards because workers use their hands to perform more tasks within the work zone than any other body part. Individuals also perform many tasks requiring repetitive motion.
This session will address the following:
- Ergonomic challenges relative to the hands
- The types of ergonomic-related injuries that involve the hands
- Ergonomic issues among an aging workforce
- How to determine worker PPE performance requirements
- Ergonomic hand protection solutions (including the importance of fit)
The presentation will include a number of scenarios detailing specific ergonomic challenges, the solutions implemented and the results. The closing section will address the future of ergonomic hand protection and its role in improving hand health and boosting productivity.
Speaker: Dr. Mike Zedalis, Senior VP Science & Technology, has been with Ansell since November 2002, when he was appointed to his current position. Prior to joining Ansell, Mike was senior client partner with Scient Corp, a New York-based technical consulting firm specializing in strategy development and solutions for the industrial products, chemicals and manufacturing sectors.

Preventing Deadly Falls
Sponsored By: Capital Safety
Much has been said and written about how to protect employees from falls with passive and active fall protection systems. But part of preventing a deadly fall is performing a safe rescue should a fall occur. Rescue is a good thing. Most rescue situations are the result of a comprehensive, effective fall protection program, and are evidence that your plan has been successful. The key to an efficient rescue is to plan ahead and be prepared.
This session will address the following topics:
- Why 911 isn’t an effective rescue plan.
- Preparing for rescue situations. What should a rescue program consist of?
- Equipment considerations. How to keep rescue economical, simple, safe and effective.

GHS: Its implications and impact on your business authoring MSDSs in today's global market
Sponsor: MSDSpro
Today, more than ever before, chemical manufacturers must adopt a vision, a strategy, and a structural approach in view of their worldwide GHS implementation. This Webinar offers advice on the fundamentals to guide your company‘s process in doing so.
The adoption of the Global Harmonization System, developed and approved by the United Nations, has become a non-binding recommendation to ALL countries. The building-block approach and the non-binding proposal described by Dr. Séguin in his most recent paper, titled “Optimizing Your Company’s GHS Deployment,” outlines the true nature of the “GDHS” (Globally Disharmonised System).
In this Webinar you will learn:
Where to start?
The key to a successful GHS implementation starts with the analysis of each and every SUBSTANCE present in your product. The GHS classification requires a complex calculation to determine the correct rating for the classification system.
When do I start?
It is important to start now in order to be ready to face the adoption of GHS in the United States, Canada and the Americas and the already adopted GHS in many other countries in Europe and Asia.
How do I start?
You will be introduced to GHS SMARt(c) , a report that provides the correct classification. It can help you develop a winning strategy to correctly classify your products, allowing your R&D group to properly select and replace harmful substances to create a more competitive and “greener” final product.
Understanding NFPA 70E and the Arc Flash Hazard
Speaker: Scott M. Margolin,International Technical Director Westex
Sponsored By: Westex
Attendees will learn about the four primary subjects essential to understanding, and protecting against, the arc flash hazard in an industrial workplace. Causes and consequences of arc flash are examined, with emphasis on historical data, real accidents, body burn injury and non-flame resistant vs flame resistant clothing. This section includes many video clips of arc flashes on real equipment with clothed manikins in typical working positions, including new and unprecedented low voltage work conducted recently at KEMA Powertest.
480V industrial electrical gear was faulted with manikins, and video and high speed, super slo-motion film were used to document the arcs, resulting in incredible footage and a significant advancement of our understanding of the arc flash hazard. Major advancements we will discuss include the molten metal, projection of the arc out from the gear, and focus of the energy.
Next is a discussion of the current standards and enforcement, especially NFPA 70E, NEC and OSHA, including a look at what the future may bring, and the pending revisions to NFPA 70E. The third subject is arc flash hazard analysis and FR clothing performance testing, focusing on the quantification of incident energy and ATPV (or Arc Rating) of garments. The closing section will cover considerations when instituting or upgrading an FR program, including comfort, value, employee acceptance, proper use and laundering.
