PRE-CONFERENCE SHORT COURSES WEDNESDAY, October 9, 2019Short Course #5

Incident Investigation -A Systems Approach

8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

This short course will highlight how comprehensive examiniation of incidents and determining root causes will reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence and prevent future serious accidents. The session will briefly review traditional best practices and propose systems focused enhancements that analyze the workplace environment, capability and motivation. Having a safety culture that supports and encourages incident and near-miss reporting without fear of reprisal will be highlighted. The session will address the true objective of making the workplace safer. We will draw on recent Human Performance research that focuses on learning and how the incident occurred rather why and blame. The course will highlight why having a systematic method for investigating incidents that avoids quick fixes is essential to true risk reduction, incident prevention and better long-term defenses.

Short Course #6Upper Extremity Ergo - Why it

Hurts and How to Fix it8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

This course will focus on upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders and the practical application of ergonomic principles in the industrial workplace. We will briefly review anatomy and the physical risk factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, but the focus will be on the generally accepted analytical methods used to identify, quantify and reduce this risk. Included will be the (1) ACGIH Threshold Limit Analysis or “HAL”; (2) Rodgers Analysis (focus on neck, shoulders, arms/elbows and hand/wrist); (3) Moore/Garg Strain Index or “SI”; (4) RULA part C (upper limb); and the Utah Shoulder Moment Model. The analytical tools will be also used to quantify ergonomic risk in a video of a plant floor operation. While seated office work will not be the focus of this class, the included analytical methods can also be applied to that type of activity.

Instructor: Don Bloswick, Industrial Ergonomics, Inc.

Some objec-tives and questions we’ll work on that learners will be able to address: What should always be the starting point in learning concept/decision? If not via content, what are some ways to ef-fectively design learning activities? Why don’t learners seem to show interest in the training? Are there other means of assessing learners besides written (ugh!) tests? And bring any and all learning related questions!

Instructor: Jonathan Klane, UC Davis College of Engineering

EMRs, and Return to Work1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Basic principles of claims management systems will cover: understanding when, under Utah law, employers are required to report work-related injuries and illnesses to their workers’ com-pensation insurance carrier; ensuring injured workers receive the best medical treatment possible for medically appropriate services; returning injured workers to functioning em-ployees;

and taking steps to reduce the possibility of an injured worker committing fraud.

Keynote LECTURES

Thursday, October 10th, Ed P. Mayne Memorial Keynote Lecture

Theory of Constraint - Safety Focus - Kristen Cox, Executive Director, Office of Management and Budget, Utah

Kristen Cox is the executive director of the Utah Governor’s Office of Management and Budget (GOMB). Appointed to the position by Governor Herbert in 2012, she has worked diligently to integrate operational excellence with the state’s management and budgeting practices.

The mission of GOMB is to create more value for every tax dollar invested. Under Kris’ leadership, Utah improved government performance by more than 27 percent prior to January 2017, exceeding the 25 percent goal set by Governor Herbert. The work to improve government is never over and Utah’s state agencies have been charged to improve performance by another 25 percent.

In November 2018, Kris was selected as a Salt Lake Chamber Pathfinder Award recipient and was also honored as the Lifetime Achievement Gold Stevie Award winner for government and non-profit organizations. In 2016 Kris was selected as one of Governing Magazine’s public officials of the year. She has also been honored by the Utah Community Foundation as an Enlightened 50 (2016), Utah Business Magazine as one of the 30 Women to Watch (2012) and by Days of 47 with the Pioneers of Progress Award for Business and Enterprise (2012).

Kris recently co-authored the book “Stop Decorating the Fish.” The book is a business fable that teaches an important lesson about how to affect positive change in the workplace. The authors analyze how organizations can overlook the core issue when trying to solve problems.

At the age of 11, Kris began to lose her vision due to a rare genetic eye disorder. All of the proceeds from her book will benefit the National Federation of the Blind.
