Uncovering Hidden Dangers with Today’s Gas Monitoring Programs
Date: November 9, 2011
Speaker: Dave Wagner, Director of Product Knowledge for Industrial Scientific
Safety managers and industrial hygienists too often don’t pay attention to the data collected by their workers’ gas monitors. This data could warn them of potentially fatal mistakes by the workers, such as entering spaces with dangerous gas levels and failing to bump test and calibrate their gas monitors properly. In this presentation, Dave Wagner, director of Product Knowledge for Industrial Scientific, explains why simply arming every worker in a hazardous environment with a gas detector is not enough. He shares advice for ensuring your detection equipment is reliable and shows how to gain visibility into worker behaviors.
Leading Indicators – Tying them to individual performance
Date: October 6, 2011
Speaker:
Caterpillar
This presentation identifies what needs to happen for an entire organization to make the leap from talking safety to active and visible involvement that can achieve lasting sustainable safety results. Safety improvement and "zero-incident excellence" isn’t a matter of prioritizing. Rather, it requires incorporating safety as a core value and integrating well-defined accountabilities — leading indicators — into the organization’s overall operations from top to bottom. Safety accountabilities become a key metric directly tied to job performance just like those for production, quality and customer service.
Survival of the Cleanest? The Evolution and Importance of Housekeeping in Manufacturing Facilities
Date: September 15, 2011
Speaker: Nilfisk Industrial Vacuums
Recent events throughout the industrial sector such as product recalls and occupational accidents have prompted regulatory agencies to step up their efforts, inspecting plants and issuing hefty fines for non-compliance of government regulations and recommendations. A special emphasis has been put on housekeeping, as experts acknowledge the role a strong maintenance plan plays in reducing certain risks such as combustible dust, silica exposure and even allergen cross-contamination in food processing facilities.
But today’s housekeeping has come a long way from the broom and dust pan, and manufacturers are quickly realizing the need for more safe, effective, and lower-cost means of cleaning a plant.
This interactive webinar will discuss:
• Current manufacturing concerns and challenges, including combustible dust fires and explosions, silica, beryllium, and lead exposure, and food product recalls
• The recent increase in regulatory action from agencies such as OSHA, the EPA, and the FDA
• The evolution of housekeeping
• Housekeeping best practices
Using eLearning to Train in First Aid, CPR, AED use and Bloodborne Pathogens.
Date: July 27, 2011
Speaker: American Heart Association
Explore the American Heart Association’s first aid, CPR, AED and bloodborne pathogens eLearning course options through this informative Webinar.
By the end of this webinar, you will know:
• How eLearning can be as effective as classroom-based training
• Details about the American Heart Association’s first aid, CPR, AED and bloodborne pathogens eLearning courses, including options for companies and organizations that need to train small or large numbers of employees
Who should attend this webinar?
• Supervisors, managers, consultants, directors and vice presidents who are responsible for compliance, safety and health, risk management or security for their company or organization
• Individuals who are interested in or need to take a first aid, CPR, AED or bloodborne pathogens course to meet job, regulatory or other requirements

Are you NFPA 2112 Compliant?
Date: March 22, 2011
Speaker: Bulwark FR
Interest in compliance with NFPA 2112 increased significantly since the publication of a memo by OSHA in the Spring of 2010 to clarify OSHA’s policy for citing the general industry standard for PPE for the failure to provide flame-resistant clothing in workplaces where a flash fire hazard exists
The mere mention of the NFPA 2112 standard in the memo sparked an immediate response from organizations with employees at risk for exposure to flash fire. A distinct increase in questions about garment compliance and how to comply ensued.
The impact on the marketplace has been a renewed interest in the standard and questions about compliance to it. As such, many in the FR clothing supply chain report an upswing in interest about NFPA 2112 and compliance with it.
During this webinar, we will review:
• The performance requirements of NFPA 2112
• How fabrics & garments become compliant with NFPA 2112
• The significance and benefits of complying with NFPA 2112
Combustible Dust Prevention Maintenance: More than just Housekeeping
Date: March 15, 2011
Speaker: Nilfisk Advance
In recent years, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set their sights on combustible dust, naming it a high regulatory priority and issuing a National Emphasis Program with guidelines and recommendations for decreasing the risk of combustible dust fires or explosions in industrial settings. As a result, manufacturers are being closely monitored by the agency through random audits and being dealt hefty fines for not taking the necessary preventive precautions.
Join this webinar to learn how facilities can significantly reduce their risk of costly violations, and most importantly, a combustible dust accident, by instilling best engineering practices that include a solid maintenance plan to eliminate dangerous dust accumulations on floors, walls, machinery, and overhead areas.
This interactive webinar will:
• provide a basic understanding of the combustible dust issue,
• discuss critical housekeeping tips and recommendations as they pertain to Nilfisk Industrial Vacuum's firsthand experiences,
• include a tutorial on choosing a "properly-equipped" industrial vacuum cleaner, as required by OSHA.
Implementing NFPA 70E for Arc Flash Safety
Date: March 8, 2011
Sponsor: Lewellyn
The practical application of NFPA 70E to real-world electrical safety programs and OSHA compliance can be confusing and at times overwhelming. In this presentation, Lewellyn Technology President Daryn Lewellyn equips attendees with the knowledge needed to keep their employees safe from electrical hazards. The presentation begins with an explanation of the link between NFPA 70E and OSHA. In our experience, many safety managers ignore or postpone consideration of 70E because it is not expressly an OSHA requirement. Using quotes from OSHA executive officials and anecdotal evidence, we de-bunk this myth and show why 70E is the consensus standard for electrical safety in the workplace, and why it is the best option for OSHA compliance.
Included topics for discussion:
- Arc Flash Analysis
- Approach Boundaries
- Qualified vs. Unqualified Personnel
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- This presentation is ideal for safety managers looking for more information on NFPA 70E.
