The other perspective will come from the fire services side of the equation where high-level strategies and best practices will be discussed.

Elevate Your Game – Scaffolding Safety - (Spanish)
All too often when entering a construction site, several unsafe hazards associated with the onsite scaffolding are visible. If observant, everyone at some point has witnessed scaffold looking dicey -- missing braces, planks split or even the lack of planking all together. This seminar will focus on the basics of scaffold, what OSHA requires, as well as the basic right to provide a safe working environment for everyone! Do you have to have base plates and mudsills? What about bracing? What does it mean for a scaffold to be “fully planked?” Find out the answers to these questions and more, as well as participate in a practical inspection activity. Presenter: Daniel Ramir | Latino Worker Safety Center – Chicago, IL 2 SAFETY CREDITS
Braving Safety – Venturing Below the Surface
OSHA recently celebrated its Golden Anniversary; what a perfect opportunity to go deeper in your safety journey. During this interactive seminar, we will explore measures your team can implement to improve risk control and organizational outcomes. Attendees will learn valuable risk control techniques while addressing topics such as pre-planning - don’t get trapped, what you permit - you promote, and determining the “level of risk” and proper control measures. We will also dive into effective communication practices, being a “chain breaker” by preventing at-risk behaviors; the benefits of developing a utility locate and hit plan; and finally, being kind to yourself and celebrating small victories on the way to the goal. As a bonus, UFG’s Worth It - Distracted Driving presentation, will be highlighted to help ensure you “Arrive Alive” for all those personal endeavors you have planned after the conference. 2 LEADERSHIP CREDITS

Physical Capacity Profile – Uncover What is Difficult to See Before You Hire (This seminar will be held 3:00 – 4:00 pm)
In this informative webinar, we will explore techniques and tools available to contractors for use during the pre-employment screening process. The physical capacity profile technology helps organizations in establishing minimal thresholds for each job description and assists in building capacity profile for potential employees. This profile helps the organization confirm that the potential hire is physical fit for the task and rigors of the job and informs the potential employee of underlying conditions or physical discrepancies.

Working inside of a confined space exposes employees to many risks, including toxic substances, electrocutions, explosions, and asphyxiation. When a worker is overcome by one of these hazards, his/her chance of survival may hinge on the level of planning and training that has been done prior to entering the space. In this interactive and hands-on seminar, you will learn the different options for confined space rescue both inside, and outside of your company, as well as how to best prepare for a rescue prior to an employee entering the space.
