EXPERIENCE LEVELS: [1] Fundamental, [2] Intermediate, [3] Advanced Safe by Choice — Improving Safety Performance by Changing How We Think About Safety [3]

PRESENTER: Rob Chvatal, Vice President of Safety, Braun Intertec, Bloomington, MN

Improving safety performance is often a fight against human tendencies to repeatedly perform at-risk behaviors that become habits. To change these at-risk habits requires a change in the thoughts and attitudes behind the behaviors. The Safe by Choice approach is

a proven method for sustainably improving safety by challenging how we all think about safety, and how leaders drive the needed thought-behavior patterns. Receive a framework to help all employees see their current safety-related attitude-behavior patterns; envision the opportunities to increase safe working habits; and help leaders see how their actions drive current and future safety cultures (e.g. common attitudes and behaviors) of the organization.

Keep Traffic Safety a Top Priority [1]PRESENTER: Lisa Kons, Traffic Safety Programs Manager, Minnesota Safety Council, Saint Paul, MN

Traffic crashes kill employees. They are the number one cause of worker deaths and the costliest worker’s compensation injury by cause. Due to COVID-19 many employees are working remotely causing traffic volumes to drop considerably — yet

the number of severe and fatal crashes have risen dramatically. Learn new ways to reengage your employees and encourage safe driving behaviors.

EXHIBIT HALL OPEN 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Dedicated Exhibit Time 9:00 – 10:30 a.m.

SESSIONS 10:30 – 11:30 a.m.

Minnesota OSHA Update [1]PRESENTER: James Krueger, Director, Occupational Health and Safety Division, Department of Labor and Industry, Saint Paul, MN

trends, standards most frequently cited, regulatory initiatives and enforcement areas for MNOSHA.

Influencing Without Authority, Making a Business Case for Safety [2] SPEAKER PANEL: Sara Ozan, MEHS, GSP, SFM; Kate Carlson, M.S., CSP, Chubb Global Risk Advisors; Mary Ferrian, CSP, IEA; Jamison Harrell-Latham, CSP, Target

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to gain buy-in from peers and employees that don’t directly report to you? Found your plate to be full and needed some extra help? Join our panel of presenters while they discuss methods to influence without authority and, in some cases, make a business case for safety. This session is intended to be interactive. Bring your questions!

KEYNOTE: Blaze Your Brain: Turn Negative Thoughts into Positivity, Bigger Action, and Better Results PRESENTER: Jessica Rector, Best-Selling Author, SpeakerIn an economy where self-doubt, worry, and stress are at an all-time high, you have that voice inside your head that never quits. It’s constantly saying things like, “What if it doesn’t work,” “What if I fail,” or “What’s going to happen.” You have 60,000 thoughts a day, and research shows 80% of them are negative. It might be hard to wrap your brain around having that many negative thoughts, especially since you aren’t aware most of them exist. It’s a pattern you’ve developed over the years. Then it becomes the story you tell yourself and by which

you navigate everything else…how confident you are, how you lead others, how you succeed in unknown situations, or how you embrace change. To keep up with an evolving world, you can’t keep thinking the same way you’ve always thought. Join us for this opening keynote to learn how to transform your thoughts and turn them into positive action.

87th Annual Governor’s Safety AwardsThe Governor’s Safety Awards Program has been honoring Minnesota workplaces for excellence in safety since 1934. Join us as we recognize this year’s recipients who have achieved outstanding results in safety.

According to the CDC, the suicide rate in construction is about four times greater than the national average and five times greater than that of all other construction fatalities combined. This presentation will explain the risk factors (e.g. opioid addiction, industry

culture, irregular work/pay checks) that make suicide a pervasive problem and challenge for the construction industry; examine signs that management, front line supervisors, co-workers, and friends can look for that may indicate a potential problem; and provide industry-specific suicide prevention resources.

Training Gamification: Putting the ‘Fun’ in Workplace Safety Fundamentals [3]

PRESENTER: Greg Duncan, EHS and Sustainability Expert, VelocityEHS, Chicago, IL

EHS training is serious business, but it can still be fun and engaging. This session looks at how gamification and e-learning technologies can enhance the traditional training program structure to engage workers with EHS – helping to reduce incidents,

incentivize positive safety behaviors, and support a strong workplace safety culture.

Impairment Testing Saves Lives! [2]PRESENTER: Antonio Visconti, CEO/Founder, SOBEREYE INC., Menlo Park, CA

Fatigue, illness, alcohol, and drugs are all forms of impairment. Impaired employees are putting themselves and others at risk of injury and death exposing your business to enormous liabilities — 90% of accident reports indicate human error as

a contributing cause, but human error is a consequence, not a cause. Learn about an innovative and practical solution to measure impairment risk in the workplace.

TUESDAY, MAY 4 EXPERIENCE LEVELS: [1] Fundamental, [2] Intermediate, [3] Advanced


EXPERIENCE LEVELS: [1] Fundamental, [2] Intermediate, [3] Advanced

Selling Safety [2]PRESENTER: Chris Seider, CSP, CHST, PHR, ARM, Senior Safety and Risk Management Specialist, Foth & Van Dyke, LLC, DePere, WI

As safety professionals, we see the value in spending money on prevention. The problem is, we often struggle to garner organizational support in these investments. This session will provide ways to

calculate and demonstrate value of safety improvements. Topics will include ROI, time studies, process mapping, and other related techniques to better drive safety initiatives.

Industrial Hygiene Management: Putting the ‘H’ Back in OSHA [2]

PRESENTER: Mary Bauer, CIH, CSP, Compliance Assistance Specialist, OSHA, Eau Claire, WI

Many companies do very well at documenting safety procedures and inspections. Very few

companies manage adequate industrial hygiene or health programs. During routine inspections and VPP audits, OSHA ensures that the ‘H’ in OSHA is not silent! This session will focus on the minimum compliance requirements along with the value of the data and information collected for a sound health program. Learn what hazards require industrial hygiene assessments or sampling; recognize what OSHA will look at during a health inspection at your facility; and select methods to maintain health records that are accessible and capable to meet the retention timeframe.

KEYNOTE: 130 Interviews and Counting — Leadership and Influence in HSE PRESENTER: Jason Kunz, CIH, CSP, EHS Cultural Excellence Evangelist, 3M, Saint Paul, MN Based on recent trends, specifically serious injury and fatality (SIF) trends, we must continue to develop our leadership and influence. Surveys from business executives confirm that employers want strong leadership and communication expertise in their HSE professionals. Understanding key principles and building leadership and communication skills are what make the difference in achieving success in

today’s competitive marketplace — but how do we do this? Following more than 130 interviews with top HSE and operational leaders, and years of qualitative research, we uncovered some answers — and they aren’t what we expected. Join us for this engaging, informative, and empowering session that will leave you saying: “that wasn’t your typical HSE talk,” while providing insight into what’s needed from us, now and moving forward.

Working WITH Resistance to Change [3]PRESENTER: Rob Chvatal, Vice President of Safety, Braun Intertec, Bloomington, MN

Change continues to be a constant and at times significant part of our workplaces, and lives overall. We all resist change and the ideas or request of others, at time; and sometimes with very destructive behaviors. Resistance is very predictable, and when

we decide to help people through it, we can generate an increase in commitment to making the change work.

KEYNOTE: Leading from the Middle PRESENTER: Steve Donofrio, Speaker/Trainer/Coach, Eden Prairie, MN

Like a non-commissioned officer in the Army, the safety professional is on the front lines, in the middle, is both follower and leader, is expected to organize things and people, recognize and solve problems on the fly and do it all with confidence, the right attitude, and demeanor. In this session attendees will learn the RULE of leading from the middle to build and maintain a safety-first culture. Because you know safety is no accident, you’ll learn the power of personal Responsibility and that every problem has a solution; to Understand self and others in deeper more meaningful ways; to Lead regardless of title or position; and you’ll learn how to get people Engaged and active in safety.
