Fall Protection in General Industry

Presented by Sheldon Primus

This webinar with expert speaker Sheldon Primus, MPA, COSS will focus on the hazard of fall protection and the various ways to protect the workers. Additionally, you will learn the regulations that can affect them currently and in the future as they relate to falling protection in GI.

Fall protection in General Industry (GI) has long been a source of confusion within the OSHA regulations. Unlike their Construction and Maritime counterparts, the GI employer does not have a dedicated fall protection subpart or comprehensive rules. Though it is widely understood that fall protection starts at 4 feet for GI, there are still some ambiguous situations where there are no recognized worker protection standards.

Toolbox Safety Talks that Don’t Bore you Death: Find Great Content and Make them Engaging!

Presented by Steven ST Laurent

If you find it difficult to lead a meaningful safety meeting, then this talk is for you! Too often I’ve heard people tell me that they’ve never gotten any guidance on how to prepare, find good content, and make a list of steps, a statistic, or procedure and turn it into an engaging talk. And sadly, in some cases, the Toolbox Talk or Safety Huddle devolves to just passing around a piece of paper and saying, “This is the talk for the week. Sign it.” Do your Toolbox Safety Talks engage your audience, provoke great discussion all while compelling people to take action on safety and health in their personal and professional lives? The soft-skills or people skills of presenting, public speaking, and a powerful delivery have fallen by the wayside. This Webinar resurrects these skills in a fun and easy-to-apply manner
