Type I hard hats, designed to protect workers from blows directly to the top of the head, are increasingly being phased out for Type II helmets. Although Type I hard hats protect against certain impacts, Type II safety helmets are intended to protect workers from lateral impacts to the front, back, side and top of the head. It’s important to note that no current testing standard for safety helmets requires testing for rotational motion, one of the most common causes of traumatic brain injury.

During this webinar, Joe Brandel will discuss the industry’s current shift to Type II helmets from Type I hard hats, what to know about rotational motion and its role in TBIs.

Join the leaders in personal protective equipment, PIP, to help identify and address the main causes of heat stress and dehydration on the job in both indoor and outdoor environments. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the “whats” and “whys” behind heat stress and dehydration solutions engineered to help drastically improve an organization’ heat stress prevention program. The webinar will also cover important details regarding OSHA’s National Emphasis Program, as well as the NEW ANSI-ASSP A10.50 heat stress management in construction standard.

Join us for a training session on rooftop safety, during which we’ll cover critical areas such as access points, rooftop openings and unprotected edges. We’ll also discuss common rooftop fall hazards, applicable OSHA codes and the risk assessment matrix that guides decision-making to protect workers. Dan Huntington, a rooftop safety expert, will provide practical tips and help you make informed decisions that affect worker safety.

OSHA requires employers to implement lockout/tagout procedures to keep equipment from starting up unexpectedly and causing injury during repairs. Lockout/tagout procedures themselves always follow the same basic steps, but it can be a daunting task to put OSHA’s requirements into practice because of the huge variety of machines being used and tasks being done.

Today, the risk and safety community often questions why we emphasize psychological aspects of workplaces when safety breaches persist. This overlooks the role of social factors in multiplying risks. With a workforce spanning five generations and diverse communication styles, including contingent labor, we face heightened challenges in safety communication. Outdated methods fail to address risks effectively, necessitating a shift toward fostering supportive networks and positive risk communication. This presentation is aimed at integrating psychological safety elements into work systems, reducing workplace risks and errors.

In today's fast-paced world, navigating the complexities of safety program management can be daunting. Traditional paper and pen methods often lead to inefficiencies, especially as organizations expand and regulations evolve. Embracing digital safety software offers a transformative solution to this challenge.

By digitizing your safety program, you can overcome the limitations of paper-based systems, streamline processes and mitigate the risks associated with manual errors.

OSHA’s new worker representative rule is set to go into effect May 31. Employees can request a nonemployee representative to join portions of an OHSA inspection. This can be a union representative, even at a nonunion workplace. We’ll review what OSHA said and provide an unbiased review of what this rule means, and where it leaves uncertainty.

To help prevent injuries and create a safe working environment, employers are required to identify hazards in their facilities. But how you go about that is the tough part. During this webinar, J. J. Keller experts will explain the three main types of hazards that cause falls: unsafe environment, unsafe equipment and unsafe behavior. They’ll also cover three fall prevention strategies

This webinar is intended to address risk assessment confusion by establishing the basics of electrical safety and delineating electrical shock and electrical arc flash. We’ll discuss the electrical risk assessment requirements of OSHA and consensus standards, as well as introduce three fundamental steps to perform electrical risk assessments. We’ll discuss concepts such as baseline and continuous risk assessment, and cover what written programs are required. We’ll also introduce practical control and mitigation guidance, and how to make these streamlined and practical for the person performing electrical work.

Join Honeywell’s safety experts during this webinar to gain a better understanding of the adverse effects caused by cumulative exposure to hazardous noise and how hearing protection can help.

They’ll cover the basics of hearing loss prevention and discuss some of the differences and similarities in noisy environments across different industries. They’ll also cover why some employees prefer certain styles and materials of hearing protectors and help you understand some helpful ways to start the critical conversations with employees before it’s too late.
