  • Protecting Lone Workers in an Unpredictable Work Environment

    Join Occupational Health & Safety Editor-in-Chief David Kopf as he sits down with Stephen Luke, President and Head of Sales for North America & Europe at SoloProtect, for a practical discussion on meeting today's lone worker safety challenges. Drawing on real-world examples and lessons learned across industries, Stephen will share strategies for assessing risk, building organizational support, implementing effective lone worker programs, and leveraging technology as part of a comprehensive approach to workforce safety.

  • Confined Space Planning Doesn’t Stop with the Reclassification or Permit

    This webinar explores best practices for safely managing confined space entry, whether through reclassification, alternate entry procedures, or permit-required entry processes. Attendees will learn how to identify and control hazards, evaluate the effectiveness of safety measures, and address risks related to atmospheric hazards, lockout/tagout procedures, emergency planning, and rescue preparedness.

  • The Complacency Problem: How Experienced Workers Become Vulnerable to Serious Injuries

    The most experienced person on your team might also be your biggest safety risk, not because they're reckless, but because expertise and routine can quietly erode the caution that kept them safe in the first place. Complacency doesn't announce itself. It builds slowly in people who know their job well, who've done the task a thousand times without incident, who've learned, consciously or not, that the hazard probably won't catch up with them today until it does. In this webinar, we'll dig into why experienced workers are disproportionately involved in serious injuries, what the research tells us about how complacency develops, and what safety teams can actually do to interrupt the pattern, before an incident forces the conversation.


Whitepapers

  • Facility Safety Handbook

    Facility safety is not limited to managing physical hazards and meeting regulatory requirements. As facilities become more automated, connected and complex, safety professionals must balance core responsibilities like hazard recognition, PPE, emergency preparedness and OSHA compliance with evolving technologies, integrated systems and cross-functional collaboration. That's why OH&S has published the Facility Safety Handbook, bringing together practical insights to help safety leaders strengthen compliance, reduce workplace risk and support safer facility operations.

  • Two-Way Radio Systems – A Practical Comparison for OH&S

    This white paper presents a comparison of professional DMR two-way radio systems that use licensed UHF and VHF frequencies and nationwide Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) systems that use mobile operator 4G/5G/LTE cellular networks. Whether you are deploying a new two-way radio system or upgrading the range and capacity to your existing system, this white paper will help you determine the best solutions to improve worker safety and the performance of your OH&S team. In addition, you will learn about easy and cost-effective ways to migrate from analog to digital and how to interconnect different radio systems for wide area coverage.

  • Safety Technology Handbook

    Workplace safety is evolving beyond traditional methods of audits, inspections, and lagging indicators. Today’s safety leaders are increasingly turning to connected technologies, AI-driven insights, and real-time data to identify risks earlier and prevent incidents before they occur. Work safety is seeing a shift toward predictive, data-driven safety management.
