Permit Required Confined Space Serious Injury & Fatality Detection and Solutions

From 2011 to 2018, 1,030 workers died from occupational injuries involving a confined space. Trench collapses led to the deaths of 168 workers, falls to a lower level accounted for 156 deaths, and there were 126 deaths due to inhalation of a harmful substance over the 8-year period. Many different occupations work in and around confined spaces.  The three occupations with the largest number of fatalities involving confined spaces during this period were construction laborers; farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers; and front-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers. 

At the conclusion of this Webinar, you will have a better understanding of: 

• Confined spaces and permit-required confined spaces
• Importance of hazard(s) identification and risk assessments
• Critical controls needed to reduce serious injury and fatality potential 
• Grainger’s solution to help keep your people safe and healthy

Control of Hazardous Energy (LOTO)—SIF Detection and Solutions

Machine and equipment energy sources can be hazardous to workers. During the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy can result in serious injury or death to workers. View this webinar on lockout/ tagout insights focused on helping to prevent and mitigate SIFs.

At the conclusion, you will gain a better understanding of:

• The relationship between OSHA’s control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout), electrical and machine guarding standards
• Workers who service and maintain equipment routinely and face the greatest risk of injury
• Causes of lockout/tagout incidents
• Critical controls that are needed to help reduce serious injury and fatality potential
• Grainger’s solutions to help keep your people safe and healthy
