Session Descriptions Tuesday, September 19, continued Your Compass: Navigate and Understand Occupational Medicine and Work Comp It’s daunting. Plain and simple. Your employee is injured on the job, what do you need to do and what should you expect from any health care provider? How can you get your employee back to work and avoid lost time? Dr. Wattenburg gives you a look from the doc’s perspective. Have you been putting off your drug-screening program for months, wondering why employment physicals might benefit you, dealing with Hazmat without a Hep B program, or wondering what to expect on a DOT or FAA physical and worried about not passing? Not a problem, we discuss what to expect when you are setting up a program, tips on what you will need to get started, and how to make it efficient. This presentation is appropriate for any business owner with employees, safety managers, HR managers, and employees. Dr. Wattenburg and Deb are looking forward to making your life easier.

Session Descriptions Tuesday, September 19, continued Confined Space: Elements of an Effective Program What are the characteristics of an effective confined space policy or program? In this session, intended for all audiences, we explain the role of a written confined space program and review several sample programs to see how well they achieve the intent of Oregon OSHA’s confined space rules. We also examine requirements governing written entry procedures, particularly as they relate to the use of alternate entry procedures. James Johnson CEO, D2000 Safety, Inc., Eugene

In addition, the program calls for physical therapists to present occasional clinics and drop-in advice, so those nagging aches and pains don’t turn into a real injury. Effectiveness of the project is measured by declining annual injury trends, by rate of injury, by claims costs, and by time loss days. Other measurements include a higher rate of employees using the workout facilities and a rise, over time, in mean Functional Movement Screen scores.

Robotics Safety in the Craft Beverage Industry From this presentation attendees learn a brief history of robotics in the workplace and walk away with an understanding of different robot types, regulations put in place to ensure worker safety around robots, and a robotics safety program foundation for implementation in the workplace. Nathan Scott

Firefighter Injury Prevention through Biomechanics Training The project consists of assessing firefighters performing critical tasks, determining the critical movement sets within those tasks, developing and administering a job-specific Functional Movement Screen (FMS) (assessment) to measure each individual’s biomechanical tendencies, and for those with deficiencies, prescribing specific therapeutic exercise patterns to be accomplished regularly (per Rx), with a follow up to assess the improvement. Periodic FMS is administered to ensure improvements are permanent. Additionally, the project calls for a professional assessment of worker-equipment interaction on a biomechanical scale, with recommendations for equipment placement, arrangement and modification, and/or worker training in the proper and safe handling and use of the equipment (from a biomechanical perspective). The assessment extends to the existing workout equipment, to ensure it is safe and effective to use, with recommendations for replacement or recommendations for safe practices.

The Power Trio: People Skills for Improving Performance (8:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m.)

Compliance Elements of a Lockout Tagout Program

Personal Communication A message sent does not equal a message received! The cost of poor communication is tremendous: Misunderstandings lead to waste and rework, and ultimately, relationships break down. Our ability to have conscious interactions and intentional discussions is key to elevating the quality of relationships and improving performance. Responding to Criticism When managers and supervisors are not receptive to input, employees and coworkers quit coming to them with complaints, issues, ideas, and solutions. Yet the tendency to be reactive to feedback and get defensive is natural. At the same time, amazing things happen when we become more aware of our reactive triggers and respond to critical feedback with genuine curiosity. Uncomfortable situations become opportunities to gain clarity and information. Individuals feel valued for their contributions. This program helps you and your team learn powerful communication methods for sending and receiving messages. Individual contributions and team results soar when members of an organization practice these skills. Construction Confrontation When managers and lead people do not provide corrective feedback, it breeds inconsistency and diminishes relationships. In fact, when performance issues go uncorrected, serious consequences occur. Productivity, safety, and quality are negatively impacted, and people lose their effectiveness as leaders and the issues spread. Yet many leaders do not know the most effective ways to address performance issues. This component helps you and your team learn to forge solutions from the heat of confrontation, allowing all parties to emerge with clear understanding and full integrity.

This presentation provides introductory explanations and guidelines for conducting and analyzing results from a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). It also discusses how a JHA can help in taking this information further by helping to develop safety procedures for employee training. Attendees learn how to classify safety hazards, gain ideas for mitigating hazards in the workplace, and techniques for writing a JHA. In addition, participants learn how to use JHAs for enhancing safe work practices. Heath Foott, CSP, CSHM, MBA

Session Descriptions Wednesday, September 20, continued Safety Committee: Accident Investigation

Cannabis – Seeing the Forest through the Trees

Having a process in place for conducting accident investigations along with having safety committees’ members trained on these concepts is a requirement. So, since you have to investigate, why not get the most out of it? In this training we take you through an approach to accident investigation that gets rid of the investigation and turns it into an analysis. This session walks you through a 4-step process helping your company to identify system failures in your processes that lead to injury. Case studies help you see that too many times we fix the person and not the system.

If you are a Producer, Processor, Retailer, Wholesaler, Researcher or Lab worker, or just fascinated with this “Growing” industry this class helps you understand: the regulatory requirements and how they relate to pesticide use; licensing/permitting requirements; and worker safety and health obligations. Come join this panel of cannabis experts from Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), and Oregon OSHA (OR-OSHA) to learn and discuss the pressing issues of growing, harvesting, producing, and selling cannabis in Oregon.
