Emergency Response & Preparedness: The Role of the Environmental Health and Safety Office in Disaster Preparedness, Response and Recovery

Emergencies may be natural or man-made, they include planned, no notice, forecasted, acts of violence and fake incidents. Each in their own way is quite different but they all can impact your workers, facility, staff, students, and the bottom line in harm’s way. What department best knows is your campus, which has highly schooled professionals on staff that have a basic understanding of emergency management concepts. The Environmental Health and Safety Office. How can you effectively implement Business Continuity and Emergency Preplanning without the expertise of the Environmental Health and Safety Office?

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.


AI in Safety & Risk: What’s Real, What Matters

Artificial intelligence is moving fast but safety‑critical work can’t afford shortcuts. Across EHS and contractor risk programs, leaders are under pressure to use AI to reduce manual work, speed reviews, and improve compliance outcomes — without introducing new risk. The challenge isn’t finding AI. It’s knowing what actually works, what can be trusted, and how to apply it responsibly in high‑risk environments. In this live webinar, Avetta and Verdantix share a clear, practical perspective on AI across the “Ready to Work” ecosystem — from what’s delivering value today to how governance, context, and data quality shape outcomes tomorrow.


Beyond the Audiogram: New Developments in Hearing Protection and Fit Testing for Occupational Health

Occupational hearing loss remains one of the most common work-related illnesses despite decades of hearing conservation efforts. Emerging evidence demonstrates that workers using the same hearing protector can achieve dramatically different levels of protection, highlighting the importance of hearing protector fit testing as a tool for improving individual outcomes. This webinar will provide occupational medicine professionals with an update on recent developments in hearing protection, including OSHA’s Safety and Health Information Bulletin (SHIB) on hearing protector fit testing, recommendations from the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA), and current research examining the effectiveness and implementation of fit testing in workplace hearing conservation programs.


Understanding Type I and Type II Head Protection: OSHA Guidance, PPE Selection, & Industry Trends

Recent data from The Center for Construction Research and Training (CWPR) and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that falls and struck by incidents – often key drivers of head trauma – remain leading hazards in construction, making choosing proper head protection an important step to helping keep workers safe. But do you know the difference between Type I and Type II? What about the latest from OSHA’s “Head Protection: Safety Helmets in the Workplace” Safety and Health Information Bulletin? Or how the revised OSHA Heat Stress National Emphasis Program (NEP) may impact PPE selection? Are you prepared for upcoming ANSI Z89.1 revisions? Join our upcoming webinar to get answers.


Your Top 30 First Aid Questions Answered! Clarifying OSHA’s First Aid Standard Requirements

Equip your organization with first aid compliance, clarity, and confidence! This webcast is designed specifically for employers and safety professionals seeking straight answers to common questions about OSHA’s Medical Services and First Aid standard requirements.


When the Heat Is On: Managing Heat Stress in the Workplace

Participants will learn to identify key heat stress risk factors, understand the importance of acclimatization, recognize early warning signs and symptoms ranging from mild heat rash to life threatening heat stroke, and apply proven prevention strategies such as hydration, rest, shade, and work planning. The session also covers basic response actions and best practices that can be adapted to any general industry work environment. Whether your workforce operates outdoors, in hot indoor settings, or around heat generating equipment, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge needed to help keep workers safe when the heat is on.


Campus Emergency Preparedness: From Reactive Response to Continuous Readiness

Today’s colleges and universities operate more like small municipalities than traditional academic institutions, managing everything from public safety and housing to utilities, healthcare, transportation, IT, and large public events. That complexity creates a growing challenge for campus security and emergency management leaders: how to move beyond reactive response models and build a culture of continuous readiness. In this webinar, emergency preparedness experts Dennis A. Terpin, PhD, OHST, EMT-P, and Michael Belmonte, CEM, IPEM, MEP, MS, will explore how campuses can strengthen situational awareness, improve cross-functional coordination, and reduce the time between early warning signs and effective action.

A Practical Guide to Arc Flash Studies: Why, How, and the Cost-Benefit

More than 25 years ago, the relatively small group of arc flash specialists believed arc flash studies would taper off once facilities completed their assessments. On the contrary, a quarter of a century later, we walk into plants with no arc flash labels, workers dressed in polyester-cotton daily workwear, and some confronting the topic for the first time. On the other hand, facilities that completed arc flash studies under earlier standards assume their existing results, labels, and PPE assignments remain correct when case studies show otherwise.
