I am thrilled to share with you our Advance Program for Wisconsin Safety Council’s 74th Annual Safety & Health Conference and Expo being held May 16-18.

Wisconsin, like many other states, continues to experience challenges due to changes and uncertainty in the economy.

Some industry sectors are experiencing substantial growth and struggle to maintain mandated compliance requirements or to keep up with training schedules; other industry sectors are struggling to do more with less. Each of these challenges comes with the risk of increases in injuries and fatalities. That is why safety needs to be at the forefront of everything we do. I am very proud of the caliber of sessions for this year’s conference, which is the result of hard work and dedication

by WSC’s Conference Planning Committee and sub-committees.

The goal of this conference is to bring together safety, health, environment, insurance and human resource professionals; plant managers; safety team members; and others to learn from experts and each other about issues that affect their industry on a daily basis, and in turn, ensure every Wisconsin worker returns home safely to their family. Attendees enjoy informative presentations by keynote speakers and participate in discussion groups addressing a multitude of core safety and health topics.

Opening Keynote Speaker

“The Champion’s Code”

Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability From the Sports World to the Business World Ross Bernstein

Inspirational Business Speaker and Best-Selling Sports Author Ever wonder why certain teams are successful whereas others aren’t? Ross explains why — in an engaging and visually entertaining style that’s designed to improve YOUR organization’s productivity, morale and bottom-line profitability. The best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, Ross Bernstein is an award-winning business speaker who helps companies and organizations think and act more like champions. Ross interviewed more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches for the books, and along the way, he saw some fascinating patterns, metrics, and trends develop among certain individuals who possessed a very unique DNA. For these unique individuals, or “champions,” it wasn’t always about winning, it was about following their moral compass in order to play the game the right way — with respect and integrity — in order to achieve success. In his presentation, Ross identifies upwards of 100 unique characteristics and traits that are common among champions, which he then ties into poignant life lessons and inspirational stories. Based largely on the “Good to Great” ideology of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through dynamic leadership and extraordinary customer service, Ross’ program reinforces the concept that individuals win games, but teams win championships. Momentum, roles, buy-in, motivation, consistency, sacrifice, trust, chemistry, work-ethic, innovation, karma, and being humble — they’re all a part of what it takes to become the best of the best — a champion both on and off the field. So ... who are the champions in your organization?

Wednesday, May 18, 2016 | 8:00 – 8:20 a.m.

Safety Hall of Fame Recipient Daniel T. Ariens

Chairman/CEO, Ariens Company Dan Ariens, great-grandson of company founder Henry Ariens, joined the company in 1983 and became President and CEO in 1998.

Opening Keynote Speaker

“Generational Differences At Work” Helping Everyone Work Safely Across the Generations Steve Benzschawel

Program Director, Wisconsin Business World® (WMC Foundation) For the first time in American history, four generations are working side by side in the workplace. The experiences each generation had growing up could not be more different, and now human resource professionals are reporting those generational differences are creating serious conflicts at work. As director of Wisconsin Business World®, Steve works with over 2,000 high school students each year and those students inspire his presentation, “Generational Differences at Work.” Steve provides the Millennial perspective through his lighthearted and fun presentation, examining the stereotypes and learning styles of our multigenerational workforce. Ultimately, the audience is challenged with a call for empathy towards the life experiences unique to each generation. This session will make you laugh, think, and most importantly, deliver ideas to use today, improving the way you work with people across all generations. www.wisafetycouncil.org

This is an advanced course focused on implementing safety programs and fundamental needs employees can relate to in program rollouts. We will discuss current NFPA 70E code changes and the interpretations associated with some articles that are difficult to process and get into details on work permits, class break-out sessions and expectations of what constitutes a valuable arc flash program.

(F) Confined Space Entry Training for Entrants, Attendants and Supervisors (3) 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. .70 CEUs Bill Lindberg, Lindberg Compliance Services Group

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 1.5 DAY COURSE

(G) OSHA 10-hr Voluntary Compliance Course for General Industry (2) Day 1: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (5/16/16); Day 2: 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (5/17/16) 1.0 CEUs Bill Koepnick, President, Professional Training Services, Inc.

Some employers may feel the need for compliance with OSHA is waning. However, if OSHA compliance is an employer’s primary concern, chances are very good that those organizations are missing out on the benefits of an aggressive safety and health program such as: safer work environment, increased production, higher quality, lower insurance premiums, reduced operating costs, and improved employee morale. This compliance course is designed to present detailed information about how the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHAct) may/must be implemented in the workplace, not only to achieve OSHA compliance, but to achieve profitability and survivability in today’s cost-conscious environment. We will introduce attendees to the OSHA standards that govern General Industry, explain how to read and use the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs), and provide an overview of compliance programs and procedures required for the workplace. Topics covered are intended for all private sector personnel and public sector employers who utilize Federal OSHA standards as directed by state requirements.

HALF-DAY A.M. COURSES

(H) Leadership Through Understanding People, Behaviors and Workplace Demands (2) 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. .40 CEUs

Dave Anderson, President, Anderson 360 Solutions

Anyone who supervises the work of others is a leader. While spans of control differ and the nature of tasks range from the very concrete to the abstract, leadership styles create cultures, attitudes, and behaviors that either promote success or create obstacles. This seminar helps identify the various styles of people and when and where they are most effective.

We will review seven work-related personality traits and perceptions of how an individual believes he/she must behave in his/her job: accommodating vs. assertive; analytical vs. persuasive; multitask/change oriented vs. patient/systems oriented; flexible vs. structured; emotional vs. stoic; concrete thinking vs. abstract thinking. By leveraging strengths you can better manage, prepare, identify, and guide through blind spots. The end result is the building of collaborative, high-performing teams that are positioned to execute their plans and achieve their objectives. All participants will take an assessment as part of the process.

(I) The World is Not Flat...Energizing Your Ergonomics Training (3) 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. .40 CEUs Brian Langenhorst, Industrial/Ergonomic Specialist, Mayo Clinic Health Systems - Center for Occupational Health

M

Daniel J. Moran, Sr. Vice-President, Quality Safety Edge

T

The Values-Based Safety Process (VBSP) is a scientifically proven method for reducing accidents in the workplace. Implementing the VBSP approach to safety will make a critical impact on the actions of your employees and managers. This course will help you develop the foundation for a safer work culture.

W

(L) Respiratory Protection 101: What You Need to Know to Have an Effective Program (2) 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. .40 CEUs Kay Rowntree, Industrial Hygiene Consultant, Industrial Hygiene Sciences, LLC

OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard has been one of the top five most-cited OSHA standards for many years. The high number of citations indicates employers need assistance to comply with the standard. Failure to properly select and use, respirators can put employees at risk of developing injury and illness from exposures due to hazardous materials. In this course, participants will learn about respirator selection and use and OSHA requirements for a respiratory protection program.

Throughout the presentation, information on how OSHA has interpreted elements of their standard and best practices from other health and safety organizations will be provided.

Work environments are extremely diverse and so are needed ergonomic solutions. For years, the delivery of information alone has been the method of choice for encouraging safe employee behaviors, but there is a huge difference between what employees know and what they do. The largest influence on the success of any program is the energy needed to drive positive change. Session takeaways: recognize the limitations of classroom training, identify key elements to create sustainability, integrate presentation strategies that allow employees to effectively transfer injury prevention information from the classroom to the workplace.

(J) Creating an Effective Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention Program While Avoiding the Legal Pitfalls (2) 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. .40 CEUs Dave Droster, Director of Global Security, Briggs & Stratton Corporation Ellen Dizard, Sr. Legal Attorney, Briggs & Stratton Corporation

This presentation is designed for organizations of all sizes looking to create an effective workplace violence prevention and intervention program. Topics to be covered include the essential elements of an effective program, identifying and engaging program participants in the planning process and roles and responsibilities of team members during an active incident. The presentation places an emphasis on the importance of legal counsel oversight during the planning, implementation and investigative processes.

W

Jill Murphy, Doctor of Physical Therapy, MotionWorks Physical Therapy

Back pain injury claims are a major driver of increased health care costs via work injury claims, time lost, and even from employeesponsored health insurance back pain claims that increase annual insurance premium rates. This problem, along with program cost and employee time invested in these activities, makes selecting the best back injury prevention program a high priority for any safety team.

Should you stretch? Strengthen? Provide on-site body mechanics training? This presentation provides the researchbased answers to these questions along with practical applications for specific employee groups so you can choose which program will be most beneficial for your workforce.

What stinks? Is it safe? How loud is it in here?

Do these questions have you guessing at indoor air quality and noise issues at your facility?

This discussion will go through setting up an IH program from SDS review, to planning, scheduling, and communicating results to employees. #7 OSHA Citation ... Start to Finish (1) Tim Ayers, Director Safety & Quality, Intren

We received three “serious” OSHA citations and a potentially huge fine on an excavation job. After managing through the investigation and informal conference, we walked away with one “other than serious” citation and a greatly reduced fine. This presentation details steps taken to manage a situation like this into a more favorable result. Participants will walk away with a “rubber meets the road” understanding of what can be important with regards to effectively responding to this type of problem.

#2 There’s an App for That! (2) Robert Tenhagen, CSP, Sr. Risk Manager, M3 Insurance

Cell phones and tablets make life so much easier, and that applies to workplace safety and health, too. This session will be an overview of the best safety and health apps from an experienced user. If you want to make the best use of that cell phone or tablet, this information will be invaluable. #3 Overlap: The Benefits of Teamwork Among Safety, Environmental, and Security Professionals (1) Joe Saccaro, Sr. Safety Specialist, ATC

Performance of the safety, environmental, and security functions can be measurably improved if those functions coordinate their activities to maximize synergism. For that coordination to take place, employees must first recognize the many ways their roles overlap.

#8 The ROI of Off-the-Job Safety (2) Dan Hannan, Safety Director, Merjent

The risk posed to employers from injuries sustained off-the-job (OTJ) present a business and human cost that far exceeds those incurred while at work. Changing core safety behavior can only be accomplished by a holistic approach that includes an OTJ component. An employer program that properly engages the worker and worker’s family yields the greatest ROI. Participants will take away the following: stats of OTJ injuries, fatalities and costs; summary of the 2014 National Safety Council OTJ employer perception survey; common barriers for the implementation of an OTJ program and more.

SAFETY HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE Daniel T. Ariens Chairman/CEO, Ariens Company

Dan Ariens, great-grandson of company founder Henry Ariens, joined the company in 1983 and became President and CEO in 1998. Since that time, Dan’s leadership has been defined by a set of five core values and 15 management principles that clearly outline management expectations. His core values are simple and unwavering: be fair; be honest; respect the individual; keep our commitments; and encourage intellectual curiosity. Dan demonstrates his commitment to his employees and community through his support of Ariens’ strong safety programs.

Dan plays leadership roles in the Wisconsin business community, serving on several Boards of Directors for educational entities, for-profit companies and non-profit economic development groups in the state, including the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Authority Board (Vice Chair), Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC) and the NEW North. He also holds a position on the Executive Committee of the Green Bay Packers’ Board of Directors.

In addition, Dan is an active participant in industry issues, having served on the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) Board of Directors since 2000, including a term as Board Chairman.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER Hank Fitzsimmons, CSP, PE Retired from Klein-Dickert Milwaukee, Inc.

Hank began his career as a Safety Consultant with Wausau Insurance. Throughout most of his career, he stayed active as a member of the Safety Committees with the Wisconsin Chapter Association of General Contractors and the Milwaukee Chapter AGC. Hank served on the DILHR Committee that rewrote the Wisconsin Blasting Laws in the 1980’s.

In 2002, Hank joined Roman Electric Company Inc. as its first Risk Manager and Safety Director. Hank helped kick off and train OSHA 10 and the new NFPA 70E safety requirements for all of the Union Local electrician employees. Safety results improved dramatically; greatly improving the safety culture and reducing insurance costs.

In 2006, Hank joined Klein-Dickert Milwaukee, Inc. as its first Safety Director where he shared his safety passion and knowledge until his retirement on July 31, 2015. Over his nine-year career with Klein-Dickert, Hank introduced many safety improvements focusing heavily on fall control issues involving extensive training and new fall control equipment and methods. He worked closely with the union locals to promote their training programs and safety efforts.

He served for many years as a member of Wisconsin Safety Council’s Corporate Safety Awards Committee and simultaneously as a safety awards judge. As a member, he often advocated for the committee to consider the special circumstances companies face in their respective fields, pointing out that risks are not the same within a standard industrial classification and advocating special awards for those companies that had multi-year no lost time safety records.
