Critical Crashes - Preparation for the
Unthinkable:
On many jobs the schedule is completely dependent
on this one piece of equipment (the crane). The person
who operates the crane and those who work with and
around the crane can affect the attitude and effectiveness
of everyone on the job-site. The goal of this session is to
enhance communication of crane hazards between
employers & employees and to prevent accidents. At the
conclusion, each participant will possess the confidence
to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions and behaviors
as well as be able to identify regulations applicable to
mobile crane hazards in construction. Crane signals and
their proper use will also be discussed.
Steven Bojan
Vice President – Fleet Risk Services
Hub International Limited
During this presentation, we will discuss the
importance of having a strong fleet safety program
in place that includes driver evaluation, training, and
discipline. Educating drivers about what to do if a
crash occurs, including who to contact, working with
law enforcement, and taking pictures.
The role of management in the process, including
communicating with the insurance carrier, going
out to the scene and utilizing outside vendors to
handle the press, clean up the scene, and manage
the process. We will also discuss engaging legal
counsel.
4A
This dynamic session is design to update safety and
committee personnel on the Electrical Safe Work
Practices in the NFPA 70 2015 standard. As in all of
Bob’s classes, you will receive training through lots
of demonstrations, discussion and quizzing.
Training Techniques:
The new version of NFPA 70-E contains significant
changes in safety programs, hazard assessments,
training requirements and PPE selection. The session
explores the changes and how implementing them
can improve worker safety.
Don Phillips
Safety Coordinator
City of Naperville
Maybe you just learned you’re the company safety
trainer, maybe you’ve been training for years; but all
of us are looking for ways to provide more effective
training and give better presentations. In this
interactive discussion, we will share best practices,
worst nightmares, and how to get through to that
one employee who just isn’t getting it. Or are they?

OSHA 7845 Recordkeeping:
John Newquist, Partner
Newquist Safety
This course is designed to assist employers in
identifying and fulfilling their responsibilities for
posting certain records, maintaining records of
illnesses and injuries, and reporting specific cases
to OSHA. Participants who successfully complete
this course will be able to identify OSHA requirements
and complete new OSHA's forms 300, 300A, and 301.

When an accident happens, it can affect all parties
present at the job site, even some that have nothing to
do with the accident. Sometimes, these injuries give
rise to expensive, time-consuming and disruptive
personal injury lawsuits. Traditionally, attorneys for
injured workers made the general contractor the target
defendant in these lawsuits. However, recent Illinois
case law has shown an increasing lenience on those
contractors "higher up the chain", meaning that
subcontractors are facing greater potential exposure
when a worker gets injured.
Course Topics
•
Identify Employees covered under OSHA's
revised record keeping requirements
•
Identify new OSHA requirements for
Recordkeeping, posting, and reporting
•
Correctly complete OSHA forms 300,
300A, And 301
We will explain how the relevant case law (i.e. what is
really meant by “means & methods” and other legal
concepts) affects contractors involved in these lawsuits.
We will also provide practical tips and “take-a-ways” so
that contractors know what to do before, immediately
after and in the long-term to protect themselves when
accidents happen.

Taking a Proactive approach to
Preventing Recordable Injuries:
Daniel Coffey, DC, DABCO, ACRB
Ergonomic Wellness & Injury Prevention
2C
This workshop will help you develop an anatomical
understanding about how the human body works
and breaks down including how spinal disc herniations
and nerve entrapments develop. Special emphasis
on injury prevention through proper lifting methods
and learning self-help techniques including stretches,
balance training, nerve flossing and core strengthening.
Dr. Coffey will demonstrate a few simple functional
assessment tests to identify common imbalances such
as nerve entrapments, degenerative disc and joint
conditions, tight and weakened musculature that has
been shown to increase the likelihood of developing
injury. You will be amazed how quickly these functional
imbalances can be corrected by performing the
prevention exercises. The goal is to identify and correct
minor imbalances to prevent them from becoming
major recordable claims.

You will find this program to be extremely practical
and cutting edge by implementing professional risk
assessments and standards for workstation design
and lifting methods while improving the anatomical
functioning of the employees.
The Role of EHS Managers in Bridging the
Gap between Senior Execs and Workers:
Larry Curtis, Executive Director
Institute for Safety & Health
Management
Tom Slavin, CIH, CSP, CSHM, CPEA
Slavin OSH Group, LLC

Summary: The EHS Department, regardless of
industry, is often caught in the middle between the
C-Suite and everybody else in a company. One of
the key issues facing SH&E professionals, especially
those with less than 10 years of experience, is
developing the interrelation skills necessary to
effectively communicate with both groups and
deliver important information from one party to
the other. You will learn how to gain executive level
support for EHS Policies and how to become an
interpreter for the worker.

3E Dusts and fumes are pervasive in construction and
many pose severe health hazards - sometimes
causing irreparable harm not apparent until years or
decades after exposure. Airborne crystalline silica
can damage lung tissue and cause other disorders –
some fatal but all totally preventable.
BIM and Technology for Safety, Quality
and Productivity:
Brian Tibbetts, Project Safety Director
Matthew Olsen, Estimating Engineer
Turner Construction Company
2E
The presentation provides insight into how
contractors can use Building Information Modeling,
3D modeling, and other technology to improve jobsite
safety, quality, and productivity. We go beyond just
presenting the technology and aim to show the
audience the tools they can use to achieve the results
presented.
Some metal fumes from welding have been linked
to lung cancer and neurological disorders. Local
exhaust ventilation ( LEV) captures dusts and fumes
at the source, reducing or eliminating the need for
respirators in many cases and protecting not only
workers generating fumes and dust, but also other
nearby workers and the public.
The presentation is based heavily in examples from
actual projects that have achieved actual results with
technology implementations. The presentation closes
with an actual list of programs that contractors can
research afterwards to give them a head start in
implementing technology.
This session will include a presentation on the
results of a four year project that utilized industry
partnerships to rank, select and evaluate local exhaust
ventilation (LEV) systems for silica generated during
tuck-pointing and metal fumes generated during
welding.
In the Moment: Awareness = Safety:
Performance data for commercially available LEV
systems will be presented along with information on
a new training program for welders on the correct
use of LEV.
Pat Conroy, OHST, CHST
Project Safety and Health Manager
Roy Anderson Corp
Approaches to promoting use of LEV and success stories
will be described including:
Most accidents can be pinned down to one of
these: Complacency, Emotions, Tiredness
and/or Lack of Knowledge. What construction
workers do is dangerous and strongly supports
why everyone on the project needs to be ever
vigilant.
• Use of model silica specifications by a major school district
• New dust control guidelines and regulations in Philadelphia
• A case study describing adoption of LEV for tuck-pointing
in Chicago
During this session we will revitalize some of
the tricks of the trade that have been forgotten
or lost in our high tech world. Attendees will
take away some old as well as new concepts
that work and more importantly help PMs,
Superintendents, Foreman, Crew Chiefs, Lead
Men, and Workers to do the right and safe thing
even when no one is looking over their shoulder!!!!

Participants will receive copies of print resources related to
the presentation focus and will be encouraged to engage
in an interactive discussion as part of the session.

companies have submitted their “Safety Manual” only
to have it rejected.
Starting in 2011, the BLS began capturing both the
firm directly employing the decedent and the firm
that contracted the decedent.
This new data element provides another dimension
for safety and health in construction as it can
demonstrate the complex contractor‐relationships
in this industry.
In this discussion we will present some of the secrets
to successfully submit an Accident Prevention Plan.
The APP is easy to put together than some are lead to
believe. From your Statement of Safety and Health
Policy to your Programs and Procedures you will be
astonished at what you might have already completed.
2.) Ms. Largay will report CPWR Data Center’s recent
findings from the updated FACE Database. The NIOSH
Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE)
Whether you are a union or nonunion workplace the
APP is required and all Army Corp. Projects, come
prepared to share your experience and learn from
your fellow safety professionals.
Program began in 1982, followed by the State FACE
program in 1989. While individual narratives in FACE
reports are useful in gaining a full understanding
of the circumstances surrounding a fatality, the
text‐format is cumbersome for statistical analysis.
At the end of this presentation, the participant will
be able to:
To make good use of the detailed information
reported by FACE, the CPWR Data Center has
developed a numeric‐format database.
• Identify the items to be in an Accident Prevention
Plan
• Understand how to prepare and submit the plan
before the deadline
and your legal counsel into your Accident Prevention
Plan

Currently, the CPWR FACE Database covers both
NIOSH in‐house and State FACE reports in construction
between 1982 and 2012, a total of 757 fatal cases.
