Wisconsin, like many other states, is experiencing challenges due to changes and uncertainty in the economy. While some industries are experiencing substantial growth yet struggle with maintaining mandated compliance requirements or keeping up with training schedules, other industries are grappling 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. The Wisconsin Safety Council is dedicated to keeping Wisconsin workers safe. Throughout the year, we offer a variety of courses sharing safety information that help you, your employees and families stay safe and healthy. Our annual Safety & Health Conference and Expo allows us to execute our mission in a very big way, reaching more than 1,000+ people. Register today to participate in professional development programs and educational programming led by speakers from across Wisconsin and the nation. These sessions will address a multitude of core safety and health topics. We have arranged nearly 70 educational and motivational courses, including keynotes Garrison Wynn and Christi Andringa.

(1) = Fundamental: For new safety/health personnel or “designated” safety/health personnel with responsibilities from human resources, to production, and now safety. Fundamental sessions and often broad overviews and updates of current topics. Topics tend to be “how-to” compliance issues such as how to develop programs for confined spaces, machine guarding, personal protective equipment, etc. (2) = Intermediate: For safety/health personnel, production supervisors, and human resource managers with experience in working with federal, state and internal employer/employee regulations and procedures. Intermediate sessions offer in-depth examinations of specific safety and health issues and their solutions. (3) = Advanced: For the “full-fledged” safety professional. Advanced sessions are technical in nature and directed at safety directors, human resource managers, risk managers, certified professionals, industrial hygienists and occupational health nurses.

(A) Analyzing Workplace Exposures Using Direct Reading Instruments-A Safety Specialist’s Toolbox (2)
(C) Active Shooter/Emergency Planning/Workplace Violence (2)
(8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.) .60 CEUs

Measurements may be displayed in real time or if the instrument has datalogging ability, data can be recorded over longer periods of time to provide averages. Improper use of these instruments can put workers at risk of suffering injury or illness. While these instruments can be easy to use, there are limitations to what an instrument is capable of doing. The data can support good decision making only if you are aware of the instrument’s capabilities, proper use and limitations and you understand what the data actually tells you. This course will cover the proper selection, calibration, use, data interpretation and maintenance of a variety of commonly used instruments including multi-gas and single gas monitors, noise dosimeters, particle monitors, photoionization detectors (PID), Flame Ionization Detectors (FID), and heat stress monitors. OSHA requirements for using the instruments and maintaining data will also be discussed. The course is directed toward safety personnel who own or may use these instruments with a focus on practical, rather than the theoretical aspects of instrument use.

Dave Droster, Director of Global Security, Briggs & Stratton Corporation
Debbie Berning, Security Manager, Briggs & Stratton Corporation
A successful workplace violence program should focus on early intervention. One of the key components to early intervention is the ability to identify changes in employee behavior that may indicate the potential for a workplace violence event. This session will discuss how to establish a workplace violence program, the indications and stages of violence in the workplace, and how to report and use the information to disrupt a potential catastrophic event. Active shooter/armed intruder situations have been on the rise in the past few years. Having a prepared and equipped workforce may make all the difference between survival and the loss of life. The reality of having an active shooter in your workplace and conducting the associated preparedness training is sometimes a difficult notion to sell to senior management.

The Wisconsin Safety Council’s Emergency Care Courses provide a comprehensive curriculum to teach the skills to maintain the life of a victim until emergency medical personnel arrive. Each of us has the power to save lives – if we know how. Even if your primary reason for training is simply to meet OSHA recommendations, you know the real scope of safety is greater than filling out paperwork and surviving an audit. Real lives are involved. You have the power to save a life! And we can teach you how! The First Aid training covers all the basics: breathing emergencies, sudden illness and injury, bleeding, and preventing disease transmission. The CPR segment teaches the principles of basic life support, how to perform rescue breathing, and manage a choking victim. The AED portion of the program details key operating characteristics of AEDs and shows proper precautions and maintenance techniques, including guidelines for meeting the state Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) laws.

(E) NFPA 70E Compliance Requirements (3)
$290 Member/$390 Non-member 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. This course will introduce 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 those public sector employers who utilize Federal OSHA standards as directed by state requirements.

Andrew Seter, MD, CEO/ President, Sensia Healthcare
“Fit for Duty” … what does that mean to an employer from a legal and medical viewpoint?

Award Recipients
“I have been sending my employees to these valuable Wisconsin Safety Council training sessions for several years. These sessions have always been rated highly by the WPS employees who have attended.” Jim Michiels, Integrys Business Support Wisconsin Public Service
SAFETY HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE Timothy J. Howald, Chairman and CEO of Tweet/Garot Mechanical, Inc. “What a unique and opportunistic way to learn new and different ways to manage safety. Great conference.” David Zimmerman, Safety Administrator Ryder
“This is my first time attending and I learned a lot the first day. I enjoyed meeting several different people and being able to gain ideas, enthusiasm and confidence to take on my new safety responsibility. Keynote speaker was excellent and very motivational. Please have him back again.”
Susan Westra, Regulatory & Research Assistant HACCO Inc. Neogen
Advanced Program Printed by:
During his tenure as President, Tweet/Garot grew from an average annual employment of 50 construction workers to over 400 workers, and from a revenue position of $6 million dollars to over $80 million dollars in sales in 2012. The company has worked more than 10 years and 7 million manhours without a lost-time incident. Tim’s first significant effort in the area of safety was hiring a full-time safety director in 1991, far ahead of most other contractors of similar size at that time. Next was the creation of a zero injury environment, where all efforts were directed at prevention and all employees were challenged to keep themselves and their co-workers safe every minute of every day. Tim credits the “relentless” safety dedication of Tweet/Garot employees in keeping each other, as well as their customers, safe. Initiating stretch and flex programs more than fifteen years ago, creating a Safety Advocate program to broaden the reach of their safety department, and constantly updating incentive/reward programs has been paramount to their success. Tim is a staunch advocate of construction workers taking pride in their profession, being proud of their achievement and the vital roles they play, and always includes personal safety and responsibility in that discussion.
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD Tom Baumgartner, Director of Safety & Environmental, Mercury Marine Tom Baumgartner’s career in safety started in 1972 after graduating from UW-Whitewater when he joined Sentry Insurance as a loss control engineer. The experience learned at Sentry landed him back at UWWhitewater in 1974 when he began teaching Occupational Safety courses. While at UW-Whitewater, Tom developed many close relationships with students who today are fellow safety professionals with whom he continues to have the privilege of working. In 1975, Tom was introduced to Bill Redmond and became an active member of the Wisconsin Safety Council. Tom has served on a number of Safety Council committees over time, including Conference Planning Committee Chair and Advisory Board Chairperson. Tom joined Mercury Marine as Manager of OSHA and Safety in 1979. Today, Tom works on developing safety programs aimed at meeting the demands for the new generation of workers at Mercury, where safety is a valued and an integral part of the culture. In February 2013, after 41years in the Safety profession, Tom will semi-retire. He has said that some of his fondest memories are the relationships which have developed with fellow safety professionals through the Safety Council and truly values the mission and contributions of the Council to the state.
