Southern Oregon event offers resources to employers, workers to prevent on-the-job injury, illness
Workplace safety and health will take the spotlight in southern Oregon in October thanks to a three-day event offering employers and workers workshops and presentations designed to strengthen their safety and health programs. The Southern Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Conference – to be held Oct. 13-15 at Ashland Hills Hotel & Suites – will address everything from fall protection basics and hearing conservation to safety committees and the underpinnings of effective safety leadership.
In addition to addressing many safety and health topics, the event offers preconference certification and professional development workshops. The safety and health topics include first aid, CPR, and automated external defibrillator certification. A special guest of the conference, Ron Havniear, CEO of Advance Security and Leadership, will lead the first part of a Tuesday, Oct. 13, workshop on how managers, supervisors, and safety professionals can elevate their leadership approach to effective safety and security programs.
On Wednesday, Oct. 14, Jeff Crapo of Ethos Academy will present the keynote, “On the Brink: Recognizing Disaster Before You Step Off the Cliff.” His presentation will use real-world events to explore how organizations can recognize the warning signs before a disaster and help people make sound decisions before it is too late.
The conference is a collaborative effort by the Southern Oregon Chapter of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) and the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA).
Other conference topics include:
- Incident Analysis
- Is That Confined Space Permit Required? Yes or No?
- Building a Safety Mindset
- From Bystander to Upstander: Building Teams That Speak Up
- It Is Getting Hot in Here (a review of Oregon OSHA’s heat-illness prevention requirements)
