| Respirator Protection Simplified | 10:00am, June 5, 2007 |
|---|---|
|
This webinar will cover many of the fundamental concepts and issues associated with administering and managing your respiratory protection program. We will cover the basics on respiratory protection and progress into some of the more intermediate topics as well. More specifically, this class will help answer your questions about selecting the proper respirator to fit the contaminant (E.G. filtering face pieces vs. air purifying vs. air supplying), fit testing and training employees, the care and maintenance of this equipment, and many other related issues.
At the end of this class you should be able to make decisions about implementing a new program at your place of employment and/or auditing your existing programs. You will also be able to ask or email specific questions you might have about unique issues you are facing with this topic (E.G. requiring employees to shave, finding a medical professional to work with, etc.). |

| Personal Protective Equipment - Are You Doing What You're Supposed To? | 10:00am, July 10, 2007 |
| This Webinar will be a practical approach to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) employers are required to perform a hazard assessments for their employees to determine the nature and type of PPE that will be needed to perform their job safely. This presentation will outline the way we approach a subject that often seems daunting and can leave people with complicated lists and recommendations that are almost impossible to implement. We start by discussing some basic policy and procedure issues that will be used as the foundation for the implementation of our approach to PPE Hazard Assessments. Our next step is to gather information that will be used to develop the recommendations for PPE usage. Written recommendations are then made and used to train employees in the proper care and use of all personal protective equipment that has been identified. We will discuss many of the common types of PPE that are often seen in today’s workplace. | |

| Flammable and Combustible Liquids Storage and Handling | 10:00am, September 4, 2007 |
|
Flammable and combustible chemicals include liquids such as organic solvents, oils, greases, tars, oil based paints and lacquers as well as flammable gases. Flammable and combustible liquids are classified by and divided into classes by the National Fire Protection Association based on their flash points. The flash point of a liquid is the minimum temperature at which it gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with the air near its surface or within its containment vessel. As a general rule, the lower the flash point of a liquid, the greater the fire and explosion hazard. The flash point and quantity of these materials will determine the methods used to handle and store them.
This webinar will cover applicable terminology, safety containers, storage cabinets, waste containers, bonding/grounding, pressure relief, ventilation, and electrical systems meeting NFPA guidelines. The use of best practices measures in regards to Flammable and Combustible Liquids Storage and Handling will help prevent property damage from fire and employee injuries. |

| How Do You Approach a Hazard Assessment and What Good Is It Anyway? | 10:00am, December 4, 2007 |
| This Webinar will cover how to conduct and effectively implement Hazard Assessments in your workplace. Most of the time, hazard assessments are completed and then relegated to a shelf where they collect dust. This presentation will focus on making your hazard assessments accurate and usable while improving the safety culture in your workplace. Hazard Assessments can produce mountains of good intentions but failure to properly implement is a common problem. We will discuss some of the most critical issues regarding conducting a hazard assessment and the level of detail that should be present. Key steps to be covered include data gathering, observations, employee buy-in, training, and documentation. These issues are the foundation for the implementation of our approach to Hazard Assessments. Once a Hazard assessment has been prepared, employees must be trained in its contents and included in the observation and accountability process. Program maintenance is an on-going battle for most employers. We will explain how, when used properly, hazard assessments can be used to continually refine our safety efforts from the time of hire all the way through an actual injury or near miss. | |
