Speaker Presentations
OSHA Update 2010–This session will provide an update on OSHA’s current and emerging issues.  The presentation will also offer specific examples of deficiencies that have led to violations being charged in the 2009 year.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 better known as Process Safety Management (PSM)
- The PSM standard has had a major impact on the manufacturing community since it’s promulgation in 1992. Even after 18 years, questions regularly come up regarding the 14 elements. Get a better understanding of the standard, the new compliance directive issued July 27th, 2009 and how it affects you. Also, hear some best practices of how to comply and how manufacturers that are not covered by the standard can benefit from various PSM practices.

Labor & Employment Legislation Update – An update will be provided on new and pending federal labor and employment statutes and regulations, the status of the Employee Free Choice Act, and what to expect in 2010 and beyond from the new National Labor Relations Board members. What can Alabama employers do to prepare for changes?

Behavioral Base Safety & Culture Change – This presentation deals with the cultural changes that can come from a stable behavior based safety system. BBS can have a positive impact beyond safety. It can change communication models, employee awareness, and improve morale. This is the story of Shaw Industries' BBS deployment to 87 sites and 19,000 people.

5S Philosophy and Implementation - 5S program philosophy, as well as how to implement the 5S program in a manufacturing facility will be discussed.  5S has been recognized globally in manufacturing facilities as a part of lean manufacturing ever since it’s beginning at Toyota.  Implementation of 5S in a manufacturing facility results in improved efficiency and safety by eliminating waste while providing better organization of resources.

Introduction to Safe State -Since 1978, Safe State at UAB has been providing free safety and health assistance to thousands of Alabama companies.  Want to improve your level of OSHA compliance and make your safety program more effective? Need some industrial hygiene testing for noise or air contaminant exposures? This presentation is tailored for attendees with safety and health management responsibilities.

Active Shooter Response –Due to the number of high profile shootings in the last couple of years this subject has unfortunately reminded us of the need to be prepared.  While most companies address violent behavior through policy and training, the increase in active shooters has forced a change in some of the methods and principles of response.  Learn how to incorporate practical response steps into your emergency response procedures, and how to train your employees if ever confronted with this situation.

 Fall Protection – The dangers of working at heights are well known, and the associated accidents are highly publicized.  Falls represent the number one cause of death in construction and alternate between the number two and three cause of death in general industry. The purpose of this presentation is to provide the attendee with a mechanism that will allow them to evaluate the level of fall prevention and protection knowledge that currently exists at their work site.
