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 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.
In this session, our expert speaker Greg Zigulis, President of Sixth Sense Safety Solutions, will revisit the key elements of the NEP while taking a practical, risk-based look at how to prioritize safety efforts where they matter most. Zigulis will explore leading causes of injury, such as slips, trips, and falls; ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders; powered industrial vehicle incidents; material handling risks; and heat stress. Also, he will explore emerging challenges tied to facility growth and new technologies, as well as considerations such as how temporary and contract staffing impact facility safety. You will gain insight into effective strategies for hazard identification, risk assessment, safety training, traffic management, and ergonomic improvements.
