Managing electrical compliance at work is complicated. We need to manage the safety of our people and the equipment. One of the leading causes of equipment failures and industrial is electrical failures. NFPA 70B has provided guidance on the management of electrical equipment. An important activity to rely on for equipment maintenance is conducting annual IR Scanning of your equipment. Benefits of Infrared Scanning? 1. You can measure heat from electrical components during normal operations — so you get real-life data. 2. You can identify areas of overheating before they become problems — to keep equipment operating safely and efficiently. 3. It is a non-invasive test that does not require equipment to be shut down and does not require any contact to be made with electrical components. It is a safety check with the least hazardous options.

Powered Industrial Lift Trucks (commonly referred to as forklifts) are often included on OSHA’s annual Top Ten Most Frequently Cited Regulations. Just look at the latest workplace statistics and you can see why forklift safety is a critical part of any workplace safety program for those companies that have employees that operate forklifts:

• There are around 35,000 to 62,000 injuries every year related to forklifts.
• On average, there are 87 deaths per year due to forklift accidents. 
• Approximately 42% of all fatal forklift accidents involve being crushed by the vehicle when it’s tipping over. 

Due to their ability to move very heavy material with ease and precision, forklifts are a very commonly used piece of equipment at most companies. At the same time, forklifts themselves are also extremely powerful and heavy vehicles, which can create an inherent risk for companies that don’t take their safe operation seriously. This webcast will focus on the top 10 keys to operating forklifts safely, as well as some tips/guidelines for creating a robust forklift safety program at your company.

Has your company been cited by OSHA due to an employee not following established safety procedures? For example, OSHA issued your facility a citation because an employee was found not wearing required personal protective equipment (PPE). As the employer, you are not disputing the employee was not wearing the PPE, or whether the PPE was required. However, the employee was in clear violation of your PPE policy. In this webcast, you will learn how you can use the unpreventable employee misconduct defense to avoid certain citations issued by OSHA.

Excessive noise exposure is present in many industrial settings due to a variety of factors such as the operation of equipment or general manufacturing processes. The “CDC estimates that 22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise at work each year”, putting the concern for employee exposure in the workplace at an all-time high. Employers must be diligent by identifying noise exposure hazards and determining employee exposure through noise dosimetry testing. If employees are exposed to levels above OSHA’s Action level, the employer must control or reduce noise hazards in the workplace by using the hierarchy of controls. In this webinar, we will discuss how to determine if noise control or reduction is needed as well as the implementation of the hierarchy of controls.

OSHA's Final Rule on "Improving the Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses" is now in its 7th year. As per the requirements of the rule, your establishment, based on its size and NAICS code, is obligated to electronically submit the 2023 300A Log to OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA) website. In 2023, OSHA issued a final rule amending its workplace injury and illness recordkeeping regulations. Under this new rule, employers in designated industries with over 100 employees must annually submit Form 300 and Form 301, in addition to Form 300A, using OSHA's ITA. This webcast will provide information on which industries are affected by the new rule and who must submit Form 300 and Form 301. It will cover the industries impacted by the initial rule, the submission requirements, the submission process, and the deadline for submissions. We will explain what industries are impacted by the initial rule, what needs to be submitted, how to submit, and the deadline for submissions. We will also briefly review how OSHA is using this data to make workplaces safer for all employees.

Under Section 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Tier II reporting is required for all hazardous chemicals stored at your facility at or above the threshold levels listed in the regulation. This webinar will provide an overview of Tier II reporting and cover key topics such as the types of hazardous chemicals subject to reporting, reporting exemptions, and the process of gathering and submitting information for the Tier II report. Gain practical recommendations for preparing, staying organized, and maintaining compliance with this environmental requirement.
