North DakotaSafety Council

2017 was a milestone year for the North Dakota Safety Council. In August, we moved into our new Safety Training Campus and began our journey of building a better way for safety in North Dakota. Despite the long hours, heavy lifting, and hectic schedules – the enthusiasm and excitement among our staff is abounding.

Although this is a milestone for our organization, we built this campus with YOU in mind. North Dakota continues to rank high in injuries and fatalities – and we knew, by finding a better way to reach more people, more injuries and fatalities could be prevented. This state-of-the-art facility brings new opportunities to the region, and gives you easier access to the tools you need to improve safety in your workplaces, homes, and communities.

Over the next year you will see new courses added to our regular menu of services, hands-on components added to existing courses, and an expanded number of cities hosting training across the region.

This new and expanded lineup of high-quality safety courses will be available year-round, and allow you to train your employees in a more memorable way.

This year’s conference lineup will provide you a glimpse of new things to come. Two pre-conference courses will be held at our new facility so students can take advantage of the hands-on training tower; we’re adding to our selection of OSHA Numbered Courses; our rescue training track will prepare employees for a variety of emergency situations; and more courses than ever before will feature engaging, hands-on components.

By combining these dynamic training tools with your passion for safety – we believe the foundation has been laid for a safer, more productive state.

Thank you for believing in our vision and for helping to build a better way for safety in North Dakota.

So what is mental toughness? Are some people just born with it or can it be gained? In this session, Former US Navy SEAL, Chad Williams, will shed light on how mental toughness can be trained and developed through a philosophical and practical approach; followed by a Q&A.

A07 Harnessing the Power of a TeamKris Yagel, Diligent Plans11am - 12pm, Intermediate - AdvancedIndividual talent is powerful when developed and unleashed, but it stands no chance against high functioning teams comprised of talented members.

Secondly, they will gain understanding of how to place team members in positions that strengthen the team while making the best use of their individual abilities.

A08 High Risk Employment TerminationsDon Moseman, North Dakota Safety Council11am - 12pm, All LevelsWhile human resource professionals and in-house counsel may want to take safer routes, management may decide employee termination is necessary.

This presentation will provide guidelines, strategies, and examples to help employers address these tough situations and manage their risks in the process.

A09 Improving Job Site Traffic ControlTodd Brady, OSHA11am - 12pm, All LevelsAccording to OSHA, vehicle struck-by hazards were the leading cause of fatalities in ND for FY 2017.

A10 Most Commonly Misunderstood OSHA Standards for O&GDale Robinson, HR Safety Consulting11am - 12pm, AdvancedHazards exist in the oil and gas industry just as they do in the general and construction industries. Control measures are implemented based on the hierarchy of: elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, and lastly, the use of PPE. But when it comes to implementing administrative controls per regulatory standards, things can get a bit confusing, misunderstood or complicated. This session will review some of the most commonly misunderstood standards related to the O&G industry, including: respiratory protection, PPE hazard assessment and selection, lockout/tagout, fall protection versus fall prevention, and HAZCOM.

A11 No More Boring Safety TrainingsJoe Melton, Dekra Insight - RCI Safety11am - 12pm, All LevelsThere are some topics, including regulatory training, that are going to come across as boring no matter how you address them.

A12 The Need for an Un-Manned Safety CultureEddy Weiss, C4L & Associates11am - 12pm, All LevelsMan has taken to the skies yet again, but unlike in the days of the Wright brothers, the technology has emerged at a high rate of speed while protocols and a culture of safety has yet to surface. In this presentation, Eddy will take a hard look at the “wild west” of sky-bound drones, who is using them, who shouldn’t, and what attendees can do to promote and create a safety culture while creating true guidelines and standardized practices.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21A13 Beware! The Grim Reaper of ComplacencyPat Furr, Roco Rescue, Inc.1:30pm - 2:30pm, IntermediateNo matter how focused and diligent we try to be, we are all susceptible to complacency to varying degrees. During this session, Pat will identify institutional and individual complacency as not only a problem that negatively affects production, but even more importantly, how it can have devastating effects on employee safety. This presentation will help attendees identify the signs of complacency in themselves and co-workers, and provide useful tools in combating complacency.

A14 Building a Safety Climate DashboardJoe Melton, Dekra Insight - RCI Safety1:30pm - 2:30pm, IntermediateA safety climate dashboard can help a company predict future incidents.

Plus, learn how to best communicate this information throughout your organization.

A15 Cardiac Arrest Intervention – Hands On!SIM ND1:30pm - 2:30pm, Basic - IntermediateCourse Max: 201.0 hr NCCR Cardiac Arrest Sudden cardiac arrest causes more deaths than breast cancer, colon cancer, motor vehicle crashes, and diabetes combined. The average response time in the U.S., once 911 is called, is 8 to 12 minutes. For each minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of survival is reduced by about 10%. During this session, attendees will use patient simulators to practice a team-based approach to the management of sudden cardiac arrest. This scenario will address the initial medical response to sudden cardiac arrest and communication and team dynamics.

A16 Distracted Driving: Are YOU the Problem?Lisa Kons, MN Safety Council1:30pm - 2:30pm, All Levels1.0 hr ICCRYou hear about it on the news and you read about it in the paper: distracted driving is killing your co-workers and loved ones. Distracted driving now contributes to 80% of crashes, and it’s not just cell phones that are to blame. Do you play the blame game behind the wheel? Is it always the other driver? Can you multi-task? Learn the answers to these questions and walk away with tools and resources to keep you and your family safe behind the wheel.

A17 Effective Workplace Exams at MinesAdele Abrams, Esq. CMSP, Law Office of Adele L. Abrams PC1:30pm - 2:30pm, BasicMSHA revised its workplace exam requirements for metal and non-metal mines in 2017, but reopened the final rule for comment and delayed the effective date until June 2018. Recent case law also altered how MSHA can enforce its existing standard, its applicability to short term contractors working at mines, and whether the miner conducting the exam will be considered an agent for prosecution under Section 110 of the Mine Act. This session will detail the current state of regulation, required documentation, what constitutes “adequate” exams under MSHA policy, and how the 2017 rule may be further revised. Best practices for conducting and documenting exams will also be addressed.

A18 General Contractor Liability and the Misclassification of Independent ContractorsSarah Feist & Sara Cote, WSI1:30pm - 2:30pm, BasicThis session will provide guidance on statute regulations for general contractor liability and independent contractor status. This session will also provide assistance with understanding the appropriate classification for your workers under the North Dakota Workers’ Compensation Insurance system.

A19 Lead Yourself FirstKris Yagel, Diligent Plans1:30pm - 2:30pm, All LevelsThe expectations of performance for leaders today are at an all time high. With all of the emphasis placed on “output”, leaders seldom have time to focus on “input”: their own internal development as a leader. This course will teach you, no matter what your level of leadership, how to stay “healthy” with the right kind of leader behaviors, habits, practices, and so on. You will increase your ability to influence others while cementing principles to keep you growing throughout your lifetime of leadership.

A20 On-Boarding ProgramsKen Jackson, Ken Jackson & Associates, LLC1:30pm - 2:30pm, BasicIn a performance-based role, for a new employee to be successful there needs to be an effective on-boarding process…one that is based on the core-competencies of the position.

This hands-on session will be dynamic and challenging, and the equipment and techniques will go beyond what can be provided by a pre-engineered system. The instructor will begin with an introduction to equipment and techniques. Then, attendees will perform simulated rescues on a custom-built training prop. During the final hour, a limited number of session volunteers will use patient simulators to practice caring for a patient suffering from suspension trauma.

B02 Achievement Focused SafetyJoe Melton, Dekra Insight - RCI Safety10:30am - 12pm, AdvancedTraditional safety processes have typically followed the model of reinforcement through punishment and discipline. This model can lead to core employee motivation being one of avoidance. When a safety process shifts the core motivation to one of achievement, the outcome resembles a more highly motivated work force. During this session, attendees will discover a successful model for shifting motivation for employee performance. Too often the discipline/punishment guidelines and rules are the face of a safety department’s feedback metrics. Kris will teach attendees the key steps to including achievement goals in the overall safety performance measurements.

B03 Gun Shot Wound Patient Care - Hands On!SIM ND10:30am - 12pm, Basic - IntermediateCourse Max: 241.5 hr NCCR Trauma Triage Gunshot wounds are one of the most traumatic injuries a person can suffer.

B12 Understanding Your Leadership Environment, repeatKris Yagel, Diligent Plans10:30am - 12pm, All LevelsIf you had to define today’s leadership environment in one word, ‘complex’ would arguably be the best fit. The speed of information today is difficult to keep pace with, and different generations in the workforce respond best to a variance of leadership styles. During this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals of human behavior while showing how to work with different types of people. They will also gain knowledge on leading across generations, and how to apply leverage to their environment with a high functioning team.

B13 Human Error - There Is No Root CauseRick Pollock, Rivendell Safety Consulting1:30pm - 3:45pm, Intermediate - AdvancedCausation is multi-dimensional and far more difficult to pinpoint and predict than previously thought. This session will introduce the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System. Through systems like HFACS, learn to pinpoint system influences on safety, and make meaningful and sustainable changes. Through HFACS-like thinking, the next time you conduct an investigation and think you understand the cause, you will check yourself. By challenging this “Safety Differently” thinking process, discussing and imagining other possibilities, you will begin to see the “second story” and be able to make meaningful change and improve safety.

B17 In the Killing Zone: The Management of Critical Risks is DifferentMark Pergrem, SAFEmap International1:30pm - 2:30pm, Advanced1.0 hr ICCRThe management of serious, fatal and catastrophic risks – called critical risk management – is fundamentally different than managing other risks in the organization. But even this approach makes the same mistake: the processes, controls and systems we implement become subject to the Grim Reaper of all safety – entropy or a gradual decline into disorder. Learn about how you can “crack the code” by using a new approach of risk networks that create an internal and self-sustained ability to keep systems alive. This approach is called DELTA, or the Deep Elimination of Latent Triggers of Accidents.

C07 Leadership Communication: Cut Through the ClutterTim Rasmussen, TruLink Communication Services8am - 9:30am, Intermediate - AdvancedEffectively communicating complex information is challenging in a world where all of us have come to expect understanding in 140 characters. Let’s face it, we are running out of patience for long-winded, misdirected and wandering discussions. A key message approach can sharpen your ability to effectively communicate in routing meetings, in the boardroom, in public presentations and for media interviews. Using strategically created key messages for crucial communication forces you to fine-tune your message and deliver important information that sharply connects with key stakeholders.

C08 Resources and Best Practices for Site and Infrastructure SecurityDon Ronsberg, US Department of Homeland Security8am - 9:30am, Basic - IntermediateDon Ronsberg, Site Security Advisor for the North Dakota District for the Department of Homeland Security, will review key resources available to companies to assist with the development of critical infrastructure protection. This will include physical security and vulnerability assessments, cyber assessments, entry control policies, active shooter protocol, emergency action plan development, and more. Don will also review the best practices suggested by DHS to protect your resources and people from potential acts of violence.

C09 Rock QuarryRick Pollock, Rivendell Safety Consulting8am - 9:30am, AdvancedOrganizational leaders may think their safety problems are behavioral or that compliance requirements address internal safety issues. However, it is possible organizational influences are leading to increased error rates. The work is causing workers to rush, take short cuts, and deviate from procedures. The compensation system may even encourage working quickly, not using safety equipment or not asking questions. In some cases, the way work is designed could be making the work so physically difficult that injuries are inevitable. This session will help leaders make safety personal and see how they can create a more positive safety culture.

C14 Change and Transition Management: It’s NOT So BadTim Rasmussen, TruLink Communication Services9:45am - 11:15am, Intermediate - AdvancedGot change? Who doesn’t? Managing change in the workplace starts with a fundamental understanding of the difference between change and transition and what can and cannot be managed. After all, it isn’t necessarily change that’s difficult. It’s the transition that comes from change that’s tough. This session defines what transitions really are and provides hands-on management techniques to get you through the transition to the new beginning, including a discussion of resistance to change in organizations.

C15 High-Performing Cultures: Why Wellness in the Workplace MattersAndrew Scott, Dakota Medical Foundation9:45am - 11:15am, BasicWorkplace wellness programs are a vital component to overall business strategy as the nation’s health is putting workplace performance at risk. However, wellness in the workplace needs to go beyond the scope of preventing work-related injuries. Addressing the 5 key elements of a healthy, high-performing culture can make an organization go from ordinary to extraordinary by improving employee health, engagement, and overall performance.

C16 Lone Worker Safety StrategiesJohn Snawder, NIOSH9:45am - 11:15am, IntermediateLone workers are employees who spend much of their workday alone at remote locations. These workers are exposed to higher levels of risks because they cannot rely on help from colleagues. Exposures could include temperature extremes, slips and falls, electrocution, toxic gases, heart attacks and other health emergencies. Attendees will learn how to identify potential hazards for lone workers, what the risks are and who might be harmed. They’ll also evaluate risks record the findings and be able to provide training for the lone worker and others, where necessary.

C17 Reducing Regulations: An OSHA Legislative and Enforcement UpdateDaniel Flynn, Dinsmore & Shohl, LLP9:45am - 11:15am, IntermediateMany companies must comply with literally hundreds (and in some industries, thousands) of federal and state regulations concerning occupational safety and health. President Trump has called for regulatory reform to reduce the number of regulations with which companies will have to comply. This session will provide an update on the impact the regulatory reform has had, and continues to have, on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We will also discuss current trends in OSHA’s enforcement initiatives and cooperative programs and provide insight on how companies can protect themselves from enforcement actions and use cooperative programs to gain a competitive advantage.

C18 The Luck Factor: Mistakes that Sometimes Get Us HurtDanny Smith, SafeStart®9:45am - 11:15am, IntermediateEven the safest among us make mistakes. Fortunately, the results of most are minimal and don’t get us hurt. But, if these errors combine with the right circumstances, the outcome may be different. Eliminating many of these mistakes can be accomplished through improving personal skills – effectively breaking the “luck factor”.

C19 Tips for Engaging Adult LearnersRick Pollock, Rivendell Safety Consulting9:45am - 11:15am, Intermediate - AdvancedSafety training is important, but is it paying off with better safety performance? You prepare, invest company resources, assemble materials, coordinate schedules and conduct good classes. But how will you know if your training will make a difference and improve performance? Safety training sometimes misses the mark, is perceived as a waste of time and does not provide the expected results. What can you do to increase the odds of success and really engage everyone in the safety process? Let’s find out in this interesting and informative session.
