Introduction

As safety professionals, we share a common goal: to reduce accidental injuries and deaths. We all strive to create safer work environments to prevent workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses. There are now two powerful new tools available to assist us in this effort:

  • the latest risk assessment standards

  • the new ruling made by OSHA in 2013 to incorporate the latest ANSI Z535 sign standards into their general (1910) and construction (1926) regulations.

This session will explore these two new tools and how safety professionals can apply them at workplaces, job sites and in public environments to better protect people and reduce risk.
