Webinar Summary
This session focuses on the high hazard activities that typically drive severe workers compensation losses — confined space work, machinery operations and energy control, forklift/pedestrian interfaces, work at heights, and longer term occupational health exposures — and how to manage them within a formal safety and health management system. We emphasize that these operations are unforgiving and require clear management ownership, proactive hazard identification, and integrated controls rather than stand alone programs.
Participants will see what “good” looks like for workers and supervisors: task specific hazard awareness and pre job risk assessment, documented role specific training before exposure, effective machine guarding and lockout/tagout, appropriate PPE, disciplined forklift operation and traffic management, and clear procedures for confined space entry and work at elevation. The presentation also explains how Chubb Risk Consulting conducts industrial hygiene and occupational health hazard assessments — using examples from plastics, metal fabrication, woodworking, and printing — to identify, prioritize, and control exposures such as solvents, welding fumes, dust, and indoor air quality. Attendees leave with a practical roadmap and best practices to strengthen safety and health programs, meet Chubb’s expectations, and clarify accountabilities for both permanent and temporary workers across all operations.
