  GHS and Fed-OSHA's HazCom 2012 Requirements: Understanding The Steps Your Organization Must Take This Year To Comply

  • Three Dates & Locations
    Concord, CA – Mar 26, 2013, 9:00 AM PDT
    Santa Clara, CA – Mar 27, 2013, 9:00 AM PDT
    So San Francisco, CA – Mar 28, 2013, 9:00 AM PDT

    The first deadline to comply with OSHA’s new HazCom 2012 “Right-To-Understand” rule is just around the corner – December 1, 2013. Are you ready? The new standard requires companies whose employees use, handle, transport, manufacture or could be exposed to hazardous chemicals to adhere to a unified approach to classifying chemical hazards, standardizing warning labels, and organizing information on 'material' safety data sheets. The first and possibly broadest reaching requirement — affecting over five million workplaces in the US — must be met this year. This presentation will be a working session focused on laying the foundation for a HazCom 2012 program gap analysis, incorporating project timelines, strategies for consideration, and best practices. Through direct audience participation, fact sheets, useful web links, frequently asked questions, and visual graphs we will help simplify this often complex new standard.

  Electric Arc Flash Hazards & Regulatory – How Recent Changes in NFPA 70E Impact Your Electrical Safety Program

  • Are you fully aware of recent changes to the requirements governing electrical safety-related work practices — contained in a document titled "NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace" and not addressed directly within Cal-OSHA and Federal OSHA regulations – that every EHS professional, engineer, manager, contractor or at-risk electrical worker must understand and comply with? These regulations — and associated safety responsibilities and liabilities — also apply to organizations that have employees or contractors perform installation, repair or maintenance of electrical equipment. This presentation will cover these changes — new definitions, relationships and responsibilities between contractors and host employers, as well as new engineering and administrative controls and PPE requirements related to electric arc flash.

  Disaster Planning & Response – Understanding Your Company's Role and Your Community's Resources.

  • Your company. Your community hospital. Who's responsible for what when disaster strikes? What does it mean to "be prepared" – whether for an earthquake, severe storm, fire, flood or public health emergency? What steps can a company take to plan for and deal on its own with the immediate consequences of a disaster - before help arrives? And what can a company expect from community hospitals in the aftermath? In this webinar, we will review what your local hospitals do to prepare, and what businesses can expect from them in the middle of a disaster event. The presentation will then cover key steps your business should take to plan for a disaster, and how to work with the local community to ensure your plan is aligned with the resources that will be available.
