SUMMARY:Safety's Impact on Recruiting and Retention - OSHA Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Attendance ONLY \nIn an environment where there’s a seemingly never-ending challenge to recruit and retain employees\, the February OSHA Council Breakfast topic will be a secret weapon in that battle.  Dr. I. David Daniels\, President/CEO of ID2 Solutions\, will focus on how an organization’s Safety Culture can have a tremendous impact on recruiting and retention; not only from the physical aspect of keeping employees safe but also from a psychological standpoint.  Dr. Daniels will be approaching the topic from several vantage points: \n\nSafety culture – A discussion about the concept\, its origins\, and how it affects an organization.\nPsychological safety – The concept\, its origins\, and its connection to the culture\nThe recruitment\, selection\, and retention process and why safety matters in each aspect of the efforts to assemble human capital\n\nDr. Daniels is uniquely qualified to share on this topic; he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Fire Services Administration\, a master’s degree in human resources management\, and a Ph.D. in Occupational Health and Safety.  He serves as a member of the National Safety Council’s Board of Directors and has served over 30 years in fire/rescue\, emergency medical\, and emergency management organizations in three states\, including three appointments as a Fire Chief.

SUMMARY:OSHA Inspections and Audits - OSHA Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:OSHA Inspections/Audits (What to Expect When OSHA Visits) \nThe fact that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cannot inspect every U.S. workplace is little consolation when the agency decides to inspect yours. This OSHA Council Breakfast event will take you inside an OSHA inspection and provide tips to help your organization prepare for an inspection. \nLegal advice from corporate or outside counsel who are knowledgeable in labor law and OSHA regulation can be invaluable. Words and actions during an OSHA inspection can have consequences\, and dealing with OSHA personnel often requires making difficult decisions: Should you voluntarily consent to an OSHA inspection or demand the agency obtain an administrative inspection warrant? How much should you limit the scope of an OSHA inspection? \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, March 16\, as Luis Paz\, VP Safety\, The Horton Group\, shares insights and strategies for how to have successful OSHA audit outcome. The event will be at the Matterhorn Conference Center. A zoom option is available. \nTo reserve tickets\, you must either click on the + sign or enter a quantity before clicking “Get Tickets”. If you register for the Zoom option\, the link will be on your ticket email. \n  \nSponsored by:
