They also have an important role in the product quality and economic competitiveness of companies employing them. It makes good economic sense to incorporate "safety and health" activities in engineering practices to meet the moral and legal requirements. Most engineers graduate with little formal "safety and health" education and "pick up" some knowledge while working in the industry. This is unfortunate since the engineer can greatly (4 of 11) [1/27/02 8:14:32 PM]

6 Gain a conceptual awareness of cutting-edge applications to health and safety programs that apply to the attendees' individual companies. 1 Day/.7 CEUs Conducting a Safety Audit This course will present key issues for conducting effective safety and health audits. It will begin by defining audits and their role and comparing them to other essential safety management components such as inspections. It will then summarize how to set objectives and conduct the planning and design of audits. Effective techniques for auditing and the writing findings will be covered in depth. Also covered will be the management of audit recommendations. OSHA's policy actions on audits will be summarized and how this policy may affect audits and other compliance management issues.

An emergency can and does happen anywhere. Yet general businesses don't put emergency pre-planning at the top of the list. We assume that if something happens, we call 911 and they will take care of it. All industries whether they are the traditional manufacturers of large quantities of materials or the new goods and service industries have the survival of their enterprise in common. Competition has driven our industries from a market-reactive to aggressive proactive planning of manufacturing facilities, locations, and activities based on a number of fiscal parameters. This course provides a basic understanding of the fundamental industrial emergency preplanning and potential avoidance. Attendees of this seminar will learn and practice skills necessary to select sections of their facility with highest potential risk and pre-plan them. Investigation of the hazards is the first step to eliminating them. The remainder of pre-planning is directed to optimization of response resources. Attendees are encouraged to bring facility information, layout, etc. for use as class projects. (6 of 11) [1/27/02 8:14:32 PM]

Significant time will be spent on issues of interest to the organization and to the safety professional. Topics include: Legal Issues Associated with Violence Control, a Seven Step System for Control of Workplace Violence, Early Warnings - Early Reporting - Early Response, and a session on Personal Crisis Intervention. A vital part of this seminar will be the sharing and discussion of available resources. Learning Objective: To provide safety and health professionals with foundational knowledge and resources so that they can go back to their organizations and develop a multi-disciplinary team approach to the control of violence risk.
