Advances in Fall Protection: Guidance and Regulation for General Industry-ANSI Z359, Proposed OSHA Subpart D & I - By AtoZ Compliance



Key Take Away :

This webinar will address the current Subpart D and I Rules and examine the General Duty Clause as it relates to some General Industry fall hazard activities and give you an understanding of OSHA's stance on worker responsibili-ty for fall protection plan.

Overview :

Did you know that when it comes to managing fall protec-tion in the General Industry there is much confusion unlike the construction and maritime industries.

OSHA regulations traininghas published a notice of pro-posed rulemaking (NPRM) on subparts D and I of 29 CFR 1910, which contain occupational safety standards for general industry. OSHA believes the proposed rule will substantially reduce work-related injuries and deaths.

The proposed regulations involve a new mandate for fall hazard activities. In proposed subpart I, related to fall pro-tection personal protective equipment, specific language requires employers to identify all fall hazards related to work tasks and locations that put workers at risk for a fall.

While this has always been the case for other types of ha-zards where PPE is required, it is now explicitly required for fall hazards. Companies should begin to look closely at OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910 regulations to determine how they could impact their organizations, what changes will be required in existing fall protection programs, and if a proposed change actually looks feasible, consider imple-menting prior to regulation finalization.

Why Should You Attend :

A leading cause of worker-related injury and death comes from employees slipping, tripping, or falling from work surfaces such as floors, platforms, portable and fixed lad-ders, stairs, and ramps.

Employees may be exposed and unprotected from these hazards or may have a protection system in place but are using that system incorrectly and require workplace train-ing.

To combat the threats of slips, trips, and falls that em-ployees across industries may face, OSHA has published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on subparts D and I of 29 CFR 1910, which contain occupational safety stan-dards for general industry. OSHA believes the proposed rule will substantially reduce work-related injuries and deaths.

Join us for an in-depth webinar where you'll learn how to evaluate your existing programs to determine improve-ment opportunities based on best practices, ANSI Z359, Version 3, and the proposed OSHA rules.

Areas Covered In This Webinar :

The typical slips, trips, and fall accidents to be aware of, and the common causes of those types of incidents
OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D requirements for fall protection
29 CFR 10910 Subpart F requirements for powered plat-forms, man lifts, and vehicle-mounted work platforms
Compliance keys to GI for ladder safety
Fall protection requirements for special cases including walking and working surfaces not covered in Subpart D
Proposed Final Rule regarding Fall protection& Walking Working Surfaces
29 CFR 1910 Subpart I requirements for PPE

Managing the Brouhaha of Chaos in Your Workplace: Solutions for Surviving the New Workplace Norm -By AtoZ Compliance


Key Take Away :

This webinar will explore what is chaotic in your work environment and will provide you with a myriad of specific tools and techniques to minimize the confusion, melee, and stress the chaos is causing in your career.

Overview :

Is your in-box overflowing with e-mails requiring your immediate attention? Are you frazzled because of the timeframe required to finish a project? Are you fed up with the copier always breaking down just when you are the one who needs it? Do you have too many direct reports to support? Do you have to report to more than one boss? Do any of these issues sound familiar?

Let’s face it, chaos is the new norm for organizations, and therefore for you as a manager, supervisor, administrative assistant, and employee. What is chaos?  The short definition is that it is a state of disorder. Chaos is unpredictable (usually) and often unexpected.

Organizations are said to be comprised of dynamic forces of stability and instability which lead to chaos. While organizations are in a constant state of chaos, it doesn’t mean that you, as an employee, need to be in chaos.  Planning, multi-tasking, prioritizing, time-management, too many e-mails and voice-mails -  it’s enough to drive up our heart rate, give us stomach problems and headaches, and make us all crabby.

If you need stress management techniques on ways to relieve stress, you’re not alone. All of us are victims of this villain at times and need stress reduction techniques. As Patricia Hutchings, author of Managing Workplace Chaos, says, “Without the skills needed to make your way through a typical, crazy workday, you could find yourself drowning in a sea of data, documents, and distress.”

We will even examine some of the positive aspects of chaos—yes, hard to believe there is anything to celebrate about chaos, but there are some benefits to commotion as well.

Why Should You Attend :

None of us can take away harassment in the workplace, change the workplace violence policy or decide on health and safety in the workplace, on our desk, in our in-box, and with our organizational climate—all of which cause stress and negatively impact our health and our ability to be productive.

We do, however, have control over how we deal with the stress of chaos by using tools to minimize the brouhaha.

Areas Covered In This Webinar :

To analyze what creates chaos for you at work
To use specific assertiveness techniques to establish your boundaries when overwhelmed
To examine 5 tools to apply when determining your priorities, managing time, reducing stress, multitasking, and managing interruptions
To identify decision making techniques to use when under pressure

Learning Objectives :

To manage information overload such as e-mails, data, tweets, posts, and phone messages to minimize burnout
To discuss chaos created by your boss and colleagues such as shifting priorities, unclear direction, unstable processes, and a disengaged boss
To determine your day’s priorities
To explore how the brain processes information and its relationship with multitasking

Who Will Benefit :

Everyone who is Employed
Managers
Supervisors
