At Sentry, we offer more than just insurance. We’re here to help you prevent claims from happening in the first place. We offer a range of safety webinars throughout the year to help you build a culture of safety and reduce losses.
OSHA has many requirements when it comes to recordkeeping and reporting. During this webinar, we’ll discuss which records are required, how to classify or reclassify incidents, when and how to report serious injuries, the requirements of annual reporting, and what to expect when OSHA shows up at your doorstep.
West Coast state plans are known to supplement and surpass federal regulations. As employers, this can be daunting. We’ll discuss top differences between these three states and OSHA, the top 10 citations in each state, state emphasis programs, new standards, and upcoming rule making.
Let’s learn more about how and why these legally binding agreements transfer financial and legal liability for a loss to the party that’s best able to prevent or control it. We’ll also cover the different types of risk transfer, why they’re important, who needs one, recommended actions when you subcontract work, and steps to take before you sign a contract.
To prevent serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs), it's crucial to implement a comprehensive program that focuses on identifying, investigating, and addressing potential hazards before they lead to severe outcomes. We’ll cover several key elements essential to developing an effective SIF prevention program.
These types of projects can produce hazardous operations that require strict safety precautions. Preplanning is a critical step in trenching and excavation, allowing you to identify all the hazards you could encounter help prevent injuries and ensure safety before you bring any equipment to the job site. We’ll discuss pre-planning and go over how to train your project managers, jobsite foreman, and superintendents.
Do employees work alone at your business? We’ll discuss how to identify lone workers who might be left alone for extended periods of time, how to protect them, and your responsibilities as an employer.
For many organizations, a successful safety program means creating and maintaining an injury-free work environment. A difficult task, to say the least. To experience long-term success with your safety program, you must first understand that everyone makes mistakes. We’ll talk about human error concepts and how to create error-tolerant systems, knowing that mistakes are inevitable.
Fall protection is the most cited violation from OSHA's 2023 Top 10 list, with 7,271 violations. Now is the perfect time to learn more about how to help avoid this list, best practices to protect your employees safe, and keep those dollars inhouse by reducing claims cost. We’ll talk about fall protection violations, OSHA standards, and best practices.
Risk mitigation planning can help you identify and assess potential risks that can cause project delays and additional costs to your business. Planning is the cornerstone of success for construction projects. We’ll focus on project preparation and best practices.
Safety inspections and safety audits are often used interchangeably, but they are actually two different processes designed to address different aspects of safety management. Safety inspections focus on people, equipment, and unsafe practices. A safety audit is a structured assessment that examines processes, programs, and training to ensure regulatory compliance, as well as identify potential weaknesses in your safety program. The safety audit findings help organizations optimize safety and health programs, and improve overall safety management.
This webinar will be held in conjunction with Motive. We’ll discuss how to get buy-in from both senior leadership and drivers to allow for maximum use. We’ll also discuss how to elicit operations utilization for both optimization and safety to help improve ROI and create a barrier to exit.
We’ll talk about Improving internal data tracking to include loss runs, as well as root cause analysis and other metrics to gain a clearer picture of what’s driving the organizations’ fleet losses and exposures. We explain how to create a road map that will help guide future driver training and loss mitigation strategies.
We’ll have a discussion on the basic principles of defensive driving and how to effectively communicate to drivers in multiple types of fleets.
A discussion about key components of a DOT compliance program and how to implement them within your fleet. We’ll discuss regulations, required documentation, tools to assist with regulatory requirements, and vendors available to those who would like to outsource.
As a manager, you want to keep your employees safe. Listening to their workplace safety concerns is a good first step. In this presentation, we’ll discuss how to address employee concerns, come up with an action plan, and handle OSHA complaints. Participants in this interactive session will develop skills, such as holding an employee interview and conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).
While inhalation is the most common cause of exposure for chemicals, dermal exposure can also potentially expose workers to unnecessary risk. There are limited regulatory guidelines on dermal exposure; however, there are steps you can take to make sure workers are adequately protected. We’ll discuss the dermal exposure pathway, assessing risk, determining appropriate PPE, and control measures that can be taken to protect workers.
As temperatures rise, so do the risks associated with heat stress in occupational environments. With upcoming regulations on the horizon, it’s crucial for organizations to evaluate and enhance their heat stress programs. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of heat stress, highlight key controls for at-risk industries, and guide you in developing a robust heat illness prevention plan.
Odor complaints in the workplace can be a real stinker. We’ll discuss how to evaluate odors, including how to use odor thresholds, potential sources of different smells, and where the culprits may be found. We’ll also cover how industrial hygiene sampling can be used to identify the source of the odor.
Noise exposures in the workplace represent a major potential risk, with noise-induced hearing loss being one of the main causes of worker’s comp claims. It’s critical to understand how to control and mitigate sources of noise exposure, as well as how to protect employees from noise exposures. We’ll discuss noise impacts the body, how to select appropriate hearing protection, and how to develop and manage a hearing conservation program in accordance with OSHA’s Hearing Conservation Standard.
