9:50 to 10:40 Hydroblasting Hazard Recognition »
Speaker(s): Doug McGee
High pressure water is a very effective cleaning tool. The dangers are easily evident if you fail to recognize the obvious dangers (water cuts) as well educating yourself about high pressure cleaning. We hope this presentation will help you understand how the high pressure stream is produced, common hydro blasting methods and tools as well as the measures needed to protect ourselves from the high pressure stream. There will be a short history of high pressure water beginning with the origins of its use, how it has evolved & some of the current uses. We also try to dispel some of the myths about hydro blasting to make sure misinformation does not get passed along as fact. High pressure cleaning has been will continue to be an integral part of industrial services for many years as long as there is a need for non-spark producing cleaning methods.

11:10 to 12:00 Techniques for Getting People to Use Procedures »
Speaker(s): Greg Shaffer
The use of procedures in plant operations is the best way to ensure varied individuals consistently and reliably perform tasks. The percentage of time operators actually use procedures depends upon a few factors, and undoubtedly falls much lower than plant leadership would desire. Which of the variables that impact end use procedures can you adjust to change your culture to a high percentage procedure-use organization? This session explores research findings around the human/procedure interface and give ideas for improvement that will help boost user enthusiasm for standard operating procedures.

1:30 to 2:20 Hazard Recognition - Ramp it up!! »
Speaker(s): Wesley Waida
Hazards are everywhere but do you know what they look like? Hazards can be evaluated by an individual or by a group but is one more effective than the other? Hazard recognition can be fun but when was the last time that you had a hazard recognition contest between your shifts and how do you organize such an event? These are just a few of the items that I will discuss as hazard evaluation is an important part of a strong safety program. Creating new and exciting ways to keep hazard recognition on everyone's mind can take your safety program to another level.

8:30 to 9:20 Quit Feeding the Monsters: New Techniques to Create a Positive Safety Culture »
Speaker(s): Kevin Cobb
Can you identify the monsters that are terrorizing your organization? What beasts are holding back not only your safety, but production and quality performance as well? Surprisingly for most, the Monsters are quite common and really simple once you understand them. What is troubling is the fact that all of us unknowingly keep the Monsters well fed and alive. In this thought provoking session, we will identify four simple monsters that are terrorizing your safety performance on and off the job. We’ll also look at some efficient technology you can deploy as you develop your team of Monster slayers. Policies, procedures, engineering controls are all essential elements of a solid safety management system, but we will never achieve world class safety performance until we stop feeding those monsters.

11:10 to 12:00 Identifying Cultural Hazards: 4 Clues Your Organization Is Out of Balance »
Speaker(s): Rodney Grieve
Traditional health and safety risk assessments are focused on hazard identification. But what if the hazards are not physical or chemical? What if they are cultural? How can you identify cultural hazards that have a profound effect on safety, productivity, and quality? In this session, you will examine systems that degrade trust and credibility, learn the most effective methods to identify latent elements that signal a culture at risk without spending thousands of dollars and hours on a cultural assessment, and take away tools to help minimize these cultural pressures. Participants will leave with a greater ability to identify the pit-falls in their own organization’s safety program, and the logic-based tools necessary to build an organization of balance and long-term success.

Speaker(s): Steve Williams
This session will first show session attendees how to identify the greatest sources of true risk and where and why the next recordable injury at their site will most likely happen. We will then go deeper by exploring why a person’s actions might not match their values which will also translate into three powerful error reduction concepts. Specifically the concepts we will address are differential levels of awareness, how perceptions are formed, their relationship to risk, and impulse driven actions.

The presentation will look at the lessons from Macondo; whether new safety concepts or simply parts of a robust safety management approach; and the missing element – culture.
