From WHO to HOW with Bart Gragg
When something happens, do you ever wonder whether or not you are getting the true story from your employees? Perhaps they avoid you because they think they might become a target? Maybe they are avoiding the questions and the issues at hand? Does everyone run for cover when you ask about what went wrong? How do you think this affects morale, performance and safety?
Wouldn’t you like to find out what really happened so that you can avoid the danger in the future? Isn’t the truth about the root cause usually quite simple? What would life and work look like if people showed up and knew that they would be heard and not blamed?
Attendees of the October Sacramento Regional Safety Forum will learn:
Topic: Workplace Violence
Nearly two million American workers report having been victims of workplace violence each year. Unfortunately many more cases go unreported. The truth is, workplace violence can happen to anyone, anytime. It can occur at or outside the workplace and can range from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and even homicide.
Attendees of the September Sacramento Regional Safety Forum will learn valuable resources on developing and implementing a Workplace Violence Prevention Program suitable for your workplace.
*CHANGE IN TOPIC*
LEGALIZED IMPAIRMENT?
It is projected that in the next few years recreational marijuana use will become legal in California and Nevada. Laws that legalize marijuana use do not eliminate your right as an employer to maintain a drug-free workplace.
Attendees of the August Sacramento Regional Safety Forum will learn the short and long term effects of marijuana use and what employers can do to ensure a safe and productive workplace.

The intent of this brief introduction is to address the most recent updates to Cal-OSHA Title 8 and NFPA 70E 2015 Standards. This forum is designed to assist EH&S personnel, risk managers, and supervisors in providing them information regarding compliance. In turn, this will allow them to determine their risk and provide proper resources to their qualified electrical workers.
June 4th 8:30a-10:30a
Intended industries: Water treatment centers, production support, hospitals, utilities, contractors, data centers, manufacturing, power plants.

This forum, as well as providing information about control strategies to prevent accidents, will be discussing an update to ANSI’s workplace safety standard, “Walking & Working Surfaces”, as proposed by OSHA. This forum will include inspections of walking surfaces and measuring the coefficient of friction on walkways, ramps and stairs to meet the new standard, so your workplace can be up-to-date before the changes are made official.
Workplace injuries and illnesses cost companies 170 billion dollars per year, according to OSHA. Yet, by taking preventative measures, according to US Department of Labor, businesses can reduce their cost – or potential future costs – by 20 to 40 percent. This is why, on April 2nd from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., we are hosting a forum focused on how to deal with avoiding accidents so your workforce can stay safe, healthy and productive.
