Machine guarding/Lockout tagout

Proper machine guarding and an effective Lockout/Tagout Program are key to minimizing employee injuries while operating or maintaining equipment.  During this presentation we will discuss both machine guarding and Lockout/Tagout focusing on danger zones such as pinch points and points of operation.  In addition, we will discuss OSHA’s Lockout Tagout Program.  Lockout/Tagout violations, year after year, fall into OSHA’s Top Ten Violations, so an effective program is key to a compliant workplace.

Hazard communication/Chemical assessment

Chemicals are commonly used in the workplace and protecting employees from their exposure is key to a safe workplace.  OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard was created to assist employers with the necessary steps to protect their employees from chemical hazards.  We will be discussing the Hazard Communication Standard and the steps needed to be compliant.  In addition, we will discuss steps to identify and evaluate chemicals, their hazard and how to protect your employees.

Hazard assessment/PPE evaluation

One of the ways to ensure a safe workplace is to perform a hazard assessment.  An effective assessment will help identify hazardous areas and provide employers and employees with the tools to protect themselves.  We will finish the presentation by reviewing OSHA’s Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Standard, how to perform a PPE assessment and the necessary steps to conform with the standard. 

Gap analysis

This session will provide employers with a high-level overview of the safety gap analysis process including the different types that can be conducted, why they are important and how to interpret the results.  We will also discuss ideas on how to close any gaps identified in an employer’s safety program along with available resources.
