Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Virtual Seminar | 12:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET
PRESENTATIONS
Safeguarding the Operator, Jeremy Cheek, Manager Risk Management Resource Center, Federated Insurance
During the first presentation of the day, attendees will be shown examples of things gone wrong. Jeremy will discuss checklists and other resources that can be used to help prevent accidents in the workplace through machine guarding and employee training.
Alternative Methods to Lockout/Tagout, Bruce Main, PE CSP, President, Design Safety Engineering, Inc.
Bruce will briefly review the requirements for locking out equipment under OSHA, and then discuss alternative methods when lockout is either not feasible or other options offer better solutions. The industry standard ANSI Z244.1 does allow the use of alternative methods provided they are done properly. When, where, how and why alternative methods may be used will be covered, as well as when they may not be used. Recent activity by OSHA on this topic also will be reviewed.
Practical Applications of Machine Guarding, Todd Wenzel, President, TCR Integrated Stamping Systems
Todd’s presentation will cover effective guarding that complies with standards, protects your team and does not prevent efficient production. Learn about the standards that govern guarding of punch presses and how to implement them in a manner that protects your people and your profits. Best practices will be shared and many specific examples will be shown. Safety pays if you do it correctly—see how.
