Construction Summit Co-ChairsAs co-chairs of the 2013 Mid-Oregon Construction Safety Summit, we would like to congratulate each of you for taking the first step in providing a safer workplace for you and your employees. We realize this is an investment and we commend you.

This year’s Summit theme is “Get in S.T.E.P. — Safety Takes Every Person.” Safety truly is everyone’s responsibility. All of the sessions offered this year are designed to help you and your business achieve employee participation. Whether you have a model safety program, or are looking to implement that first safety policy, we can help provide the tools and methods you’ll need to advance safety in your working environment.

The Summit planning committee’s goal is to have everyone leave work at the end of the day in the same condition that they arrived in, if not better. This not only impacts the environments in where work is conducted, but the families and friends of every working person in Oregon. As you can imagine, we take great pride in what we do!

On behalf of the planning committee and COSHA, it is our pleasure to invite you to the 12th annual Mid-Oregon Construction Safety Summit.

Ian Chase and Jeremy Lawson 2013 Mid-Oregon Construction Safety Summit Co-Chairs

Welding and Compressed Gas SafetyThis session encompasses the safe handling of compressed gas cylinders (oxygen, acetylene, propane, argon, etc.) in use and in storage. Discussion includes the safe and proper use of oxy-fuel gas equipment, including proper torch adjustment and the use of heating equipment (rosebuds) and oxygen lances. Also discussed are the use and hazards of compressed gases in confined spaces. Rob Cameron, Northern Oregon Sales Manager, Airgas-Nor Pac, Inc., Longview, Washington

Strains, Sprains, and TearsSoft tissue strains, sprains, and tears are the number one reason for lost work and the number one cause of permanent disability. 55 percent-62 percent of most company’s recordable injuries are of the soft tissues at an annual cost of $400 billion. USA fast food is only a $137 billion industry. This class addresses the 10 primary ergonomic (strain/sprain) risk factors and covers how to identify and mitigate them to relentlessly pursue a pain-free, injury-free workforce. Musculoskeletal injuries and disorders of the neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and foot are addressed. Bruce A. Madsen, AT, CSCS, Founder and President, Sports Therapy Associates, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho

Electrical Safety – NFPA 70EThis training will review electrical safety elements to consider prior to working on energized electrical systems and parts. Session covers:• Control of hazardous energy sources• Available fault current• Maintenance of electrical equipment• Does it create a greater hazard to de-energize or is it infeasible to de-energize?• Do you have the trained electrical personnel to do the work?Mike Murphy, Consultant and Safety Professional, Junction City

Excavation SafetyCave-ins are one of the leading causes of deaths and injuries on construction sites. This program examines common hazards and describes the essential elements of an excavation safety program. Central to this effort is performing routine and thorough inspections as required by OSHA standards. This program covers the essential items that every inspection must cover. Participants receive and review copies of sample inspection forms and written safety programs. The class is intended for safety managers and safety committee members.Jim Johnson, CEO, D2000 Safety, Inc., Eugene

Improving Safety Programs through Hazard Assessment and Safety-Orientation Training Identifying and controlling workplace hazards involves more than simply “looking for hazards.” The first phase of this training offers basic knowledge and skills needed to identify hazards and apply control strategies. This is accomplished through hazard assessment and control and job hazard analysis. The second phase deals with safety orientation training. Once workplace hazards are identified, employees need to be informed and trained on the hazards of their new jobs or positions. Far too many new employees are injured during the first year of employment. During the training attendees learn:• To identify hazardous conditions and practices in the workplace, determine root causes, and

recommend control strategies to reduce or eliminate those hazards.• To recognize which jobs and/or tasks need a Job Hazard Analysis and how to complete a JHA.• To understand why we conduct safety training.• To recognize the elements of an effective safety training program and the stages, instruction, and techniques.Ben D. Carlson, Senior Consultant, Loss Prevention, Liberty Northwest, Eugene

Confined Space SafetyHundreds of people die each year working in confined spaces. Oregon OSHA adopted a new confined space standard that covers both general industry and construction. This session discusses the changes from the old rules to the new and how the implementation of best practices can help maintain compliance with the regulation. Oregon OSHA and industry experts are on hand to answer questions related to your specific application.Mark Maguire, CSP, Safety Co-Coordinator, Eugene Water & Electric Board, EugeneStan Thomas, Health and Safety Enforcement Manager, Oregon OSHA, Bend

Rigging Awareness This session addresses terms and definitions, rigging methods, load weight estimation, sling length and capacity, and rigging techniques. This is an innovative and informative presentation that promotes safety and efficiency, while raising skill level of attendees. Michael Johnson, Instructor, Industrial Training International, Inc., Woodland, Washington

Shoulder Injury PreventionThe shoulder is probably the most complex and unstable joint in the body and is very vulnerable to injury from repeated or forceful pushing, pulling, and reaching overhead. The most common problems of the shoulder are rotator cuff impingement, labrum tears, and biceps tendon irritations. This seminar provides in-depth knowledge of the shoulder including, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, common problems, at-risk work practices, therapeutic exercises, and replacement-preferred work methods. The shoulder responds extremely well to properly dosed therapeutic exercise in most cases, and these exercises are taught in this training. Bruce A. Madsen, AT, CSCS, Founder and President, Sports Therapy Associates, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho

Arc FlashDo you have to work energized? Are you ready? Are you aware of the OSHA requirements? What does NFPA 70E say about working energized circuits and parts? Who is going to be liable if there is an arc flash and there are injuries and property damage? Are you ready?Mike Murphy, Consultant and Safety Professional, Junction City

Soil AnalysisAn understanding of how soils are tested and classified is an essential aspect of selecting and installing protective systems. This program looks at the basic process for examining soils in the excavation and surrounding areas and soil classification as Types A, B, C, or solid rock. Once the type(s) of soils have been identified, the effect the soil types have on lateral earth pressure and how this information is used to provide effective sloping/benching, shoring or shielding systems is covered. This class is intended for anyone with responsibilities for excavation safety.Jim Johnson, CEO, D2000 Safety, Inc., Eugene

SHARP: The ExperienceAre you interested in what it takes to make a safety program work like a fine-tuned machine? Want to learn from the experience of others? In this session, representatives from Oregon OSHA and two SHARP construction companies share some of the trials, obstacles, improvements, and benefits their companies realized while pursuing Oregon OSHA’s SHARP program.Timothy Fasching, OHST, CHST, Consultant, EORM, Portland Dave Holland, Safety Manager, Hamilton Construction Co, SpringfieldMark E. Hurliman, CSHM, VPP/SHARP Program Manager, Oregon OSHA, MedfordJeremy Lawson, VP Safety & Equipment, Slayden Construction Group, Stayton

Atmospheric Monitoring in Confined Spaces and Trenching Operations This session provides attendees an increased understanding of gas monitor technology, how sensors work, abilities and limitations of monitors, and the need for daily bump tests and calibration requirements. Additionally, hands-on use, including sensor change-out, bump and calibration demonstration, downloading of information, automated calibration systems, the advantages of remote sampling and regulatory guidelines for monitoring are demonstrated and discussed. Certificates of attendance are provided.Bob Wujek, Sales Manager (OR, WA, AK), MSA – The Safety Company, Canby

Electrical Safety Best Practices – Arc Flash ProtectionSince we’ve been learning about the hazards of arc flash and the NFPA 70E requirements, now what? Are employers actually implementing this stuff? Do they actually use all that personal protective equipment? How and when did they start these programs and get buy-in from their electricians? This session explores these questions by asking three very different companies representing small, medium, and large employers. Learn how others are implementing methods to protect their employees from these hazards right here in Central Oregon.Kevin Kilroy, Safety Consultant, Oregon OSHA, Bend Field Office, BendRepresentatives from: Rosendin Electric, Tomco Electric, and B&C Smith Contracting

Driving Safely Pickup trucks, vans, and other light vehicles account for the majority of the fleet of many construction accounts.
