When an incident occurs, your investigation can make the difference between real change and repeated failure. Yet many employers rely on outdated forms or blame-based conclusions.
This session walks through a modern approach to root cause analysis, including interviewing techniques, sequence-of-events modeling, and using tools like the 5 Whys, fishbone diagrams, and Root Cause Analysis. Participants will learn how to uncover systemic issues, write meaningful corrective actions, and build trust in the investigation process.

Each year, thousands of workers are injured by unguarded or improperly guarded machinery. OSHA’s machine guarding requirements under 1910 Subpart O are among the most frequently cited and litigated.
This course focuses on the types of machine hazards, required guarding methods, and how to assess new and legacy equipment for compliance. Topics include point-of-operation hazards, interlocks, light curtains, and safeguarding for robotics and automated systems. Real-world case studies will highlight how small oversights lead to big injuries—and citations.

Managing safety in an industrial setting demands more than compliance—it requires a proactive culture, risk-based decision-making, and leadership accountability.
In this session, we examine safety management systems (SMS), leading indicators, human factors, and proven tools like Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), and layered safety audits. Learn how to improve worker engagement, reduce incidents, and align your safety program with ANSI/ASSP and ISO 45001 frameworks.
