Breakout Session #1D, 9:30 AM - 10:35 AM Dangerous States of Mind Warren Picken Rushing to get to work on time, Frustrated that you’re running behind in production, Tired from working overtime, Complacent about hazards related to driving while talking on the phone? All of these daily states of mind that we experience on a regular basis can cause or contribute to making critical errors that can lead to serious injuries. Taking our eyes or mind off task while driving, moving our hand into the line-of-fire on the production line, losing our balance, traction or grip while mowing the lawn are examples of critical errors that can change our lives in an instant. During this presentation you will see how these state-to-error patterns relate not only to your workplace, but also at home and on the road. More importantly, he will introduce you to four critical error reductions techniques that will help you to reduce your potential for injury. These techniques are simple to use and are easily transferable to your home environment, thereby keeping your loved ones safe from harm as well.

Breakout Session #2B, 11:05 AM - 12:10 PM Monitoring The Health Hazards Of Cutting Edge Research Peter Lichty Occupational safety in industry often relies on established information on well-characterized, high-volume industrial chemicals. In the early stages of technology development, health and safety professionals must use a variety of approaches to evaluate hazards and devise protections for uncharacterized hazards. This presentation will discuss some of the cutting edge research at a multidisciplinary national laboratory, and how health hazards are evaluated and controlled.

Peter Lichty, Occupational Medical Director, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Peter Lichty is the Occupational Medical Director for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This multidisciplinary Department of Energy laboratory, run by the University of California, is one of the largest employers in the East Bay, with over 5,000 employees and visiting scientists.

He is board-certified in Occupational Medicine, and has served as the Occupational Medical Director at LBNL for 13 years. Breakout Session #2C, 11:05 AM - 12:10 PM The Impact of Work Schedules and Shift Work George Brogmus The occupational safety profession has a long history of recognizing the interrelatedness of work demands, productivity and safety. There is little dispute that if work tasks are too difficult, both productivity and safety suffer. Yet these facts are often ignored when it comes to the schedules people work. Whether it be a particular industry’s tradition for using adverse work schedules or individual workers’ proclivity to overwork, there is predictable negative outcomes in safety, health and productivity. In this session we will look at the impact of adverse work schedules on work and home life, discuss the key risk factors, and review proven interventions to minimize the adverse impact. We will briefly discuss tools that are available for objectively analyzing work schedules for injury risk, productivity and fatigue. George Brogmus, Technical Director, Liberty Mutual’, Loss Control Advisory Services Mr. Brogmus is a Technical Director with Liberty Mutual’s Loss Control Advisory Services and is a Certified Professional Ergonomist.

Breakout Session #2D, 11:05 AM - 12:10 PM Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals Dale Goss Globally Harmonized System | Are you prepared for the HazCom 2012 requirements? The HazCom 2012 rule updated current Hazard Communication in the US to the internationally standardized United Nations version widely referred to as the Globally Harmonized System (of classification and labeling of chemicals). By updating to the new HazCom 2012 standard, OSHA adopted a single, internationally unified approach to classifying chemical hazards, warning labels, and organizing information on 'material' safety data sheets. This presentation will review the major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard and explain how the news standard aligns with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. Further emphasis will be placed on the key steps necessary for incorporating the new GHS requirements into a hazard communication program and the approaching deadline requirements. Additional fact sheets, useful web links, frequently asked questions, and visual graphs will simplify this often complex new standard.

Dale Goss, MBA, MPH, CSP Dale Goss, MBA, MPH, CSP and EORM Principal Consultant, has over 14 years of experience in environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulatory compliance and strategic management system implementation.

Breakout Session #3C, 1:00 PM - 2:05 PM Controlling The Health Hazards of Engineered Nanomaterials Rick Kelly This session will review the dramatic advancements in science, technology, medicine and society as a whole offered by the Nanotechnology Revolution. First and second generation products containing engineered nanoscale materials are already present in the marketplace, while more sophisticated products are being developed in laboratories and factories around the world. Researchers and manufacturing employees are being exposed to dispersible nanoscale particulate matter via inhalation, ingestion and skin contact. Preliminary research indicates that in some cases nanoparticulate matter may be more toxic than larger particles of the same or similar material. Application of the classical tools of occupational medicine and industrial hygiene is hampered by the lack of consensus guidelines for medical monitoring and exposure assessment. We will review methods to evaluate and control exposure to nanoparticles in an occupational setting, including extremely sensitive and relatively inexpensive methods developed by the author at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Rick Kelly, MS, CIH is the Facilities and EH&S Manager for the Materials Sciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). LBNL is a major energy research center operated for the Department of Energy by the University of California. Rick and his staff provide facilities management, operations and comprehensive EH&S support for a research group consisting of approximately 1000 individuals. The organization Rick supports includes the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis, the Molecular Foundry, the Center for X-Ray Optics and the National Center for Electron Microscopy. Much of the science performed involves the exploration of nanotechnology, including semiconductor fabrication, Nano-enabled biology and nanoparticle design and synthesis. Rick mentors students from the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of California at Berkeley and supervises research to develop more sensitive and affordable methods to detect exposure to airborne engineered nanoparticles. Prior to coming to Berkeley Lab, Rick worked as an industrial hygienist and safety training developer at the Lawrence Livermore National lab and as the Supervisor of Industrial Hygiene and Safety at the University of California at Berkeley. Rick received his Master’s Degree in Industrial Hygiene from the University of Cincinnati in 1983 and has been certified in the comprehensive practice of Industrial Hygiene since 1987.


Breakout Session #4A, 2:35 PM - 3:40 PM Ladder Safety Andy Bull Ladders are consistently ranked in the top 10 OSHA violations but are one of the most common tools many use on a day to day basis. Most of us have been climbing ladders our whole life. Go to a park and count the ladders in a park. They are for little kids not for professionals. Because we have been climbing ladders our whole life this is exactly why Andy thinks there are so many accidents and fatalities each year on ladders; we get complacent, lazy and say what could possible go wrong I’ve been doing this my whole life. In an hour class Andy will show more energy and compassion for ladder safety using a number of actual ladders, a power point and personal stories to get across a message of ladder safety that won’t soon be forgotten.

Andy Bull, CH Bull Co. Andy Bull has been working at CH Bull Co. full time since February 1978. He worked as a youth minister in the Lutheran Church for almost 5 years before coming back to the family business. CH Bull is an 81year old distribution company started by Andy’s grandfather Charles Henry Bull in 1930. With years focused on hydraulic jacking systems, hoist and small crane systems, high reach access, and specialty heat exchange systems CH Bull saw the need to start a new division call Safety Solutions. CH Bull has been selling the Genie line since 1969. Andy speaks to 100’s of people every month sharing his passion for Safety Solutions with the goal of getting all of your employees home each night to the people that love and care about them.


Breakout Session #4B, 2:35 PM - 3:40 PM Error Traps: Case Studies in Finding the Next Failure in your Organization Ron Gantt & Paul Gantt Error Traps: Finding the Next Incident Before it Happens It started with Heinrich and continues to this day – the belief that incidents are caused primarily by human error. Most safety professionals stop there, spending time and resources trying to make employees less error prone. However, research into human errors suggests that most of these human errors are provoked by failures within the organizations that the employees work. Furthermore, these “error traps” are predictable and readily identifiable if you know where to look. Through a combination of theory discussion and reviewing case studies, we show how to spot these error traps and how these can help you find and prevent your next incident before it happens! Paul Gantt, CSP After retiring as a Fire Chief, Paul Gantt founded Safety Compliance Management. For more than 20 years, Paul and SCM have provided occupational safety, health, and environmental training and consulting services. Paul has degrees in Fire Science and Public Administration and is doing graduate studies in Safety Engineering and Management. He is a regular speaker at national and regional conferences, has authored a textbook on the subject of hazardous materials management, and has authored many articles on occupational safety and health topics. Ron Gantt, CSP, ARM Ron Gantt is Vice President, Operations for Safety Compliance Management. He has 11 years experience in occupational safety and health. Ron has degrees in Occupational Safety and Health and Psychology and is currently doing graduate studies in Safety Engineering and Management. He has spoken twice at the ASSE National Professional Development Conference and has authored and co-authored many articles on a variety of safety and health topics published in various topics.


Breakout Session #4C, 2:35 PM - 3:40 PM How Does Mickey Do It: Safety Leadership at Disney Bob Howarth On July 17, 1955, Walt Disney opened Disneyland on 55 acres in Anaheim with the simple goal of creating a park in which “parents and children could have fun together.” Today, the operations of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts span three continents, with soon to be six resorts, 12 theme parks, more than 30,000 guest rooms and 90,000 Cast Members (employees) worldwide. Yet, while much has changed since Disneyland welcomed its first Guest more than 50 years ago, there is one thing that remains the same, our ongoing commitment to safety. Indeed, we believe, just as we did in 1955, that the safety of those who work and play at our parks, resorts and experiences is our single most important responsibility. So how does Mickey do it? This session will explore the “Keys to the Kingdom,” Safety Courtesy, Show and Efficiency, used by leaders and Cast Members, paying particular attention to the role safety plays in a theme park environment. This delicate balance ensures the magic of our legendary Disneyland Guest experience.

Bob Howarth, CSP Manager, Safety Services Programs Walt Disney Parks & Resorts at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA.
