Using excel to help you analyze injury data
trip, and fall injury data, causal factors, and what is being done to reduce the number of incidents. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.047 The management of animal handling Mary Beth Koza University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA This presentation will identify the potential EHS concerns for the management of animal handling at a university. Topics covered will be potential worker exposures, general workplace safety concerns, and the process of hazard analysis. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.048 Using excel to help you analyze injury data Jon Kruyne Washington University, St. Louis, USA Injury data can be overwhelming and even misleading if not analyzed. This session will look not at what our results show, but what can be done with Excel to view your data in different ways. This data can be used for not only looking at what types of injuries are occurring, but also discovering where your injuries are occurring. What will not be discussed is how to write formulae, create Pivot tables, and like excel issues. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.049 Pharmaceutical waste becoming universal waste? John Kuhn Clean Harbors, USA The EPA will be amending the hazardous waste regulations to designate certain pharmaceutical wastes as universal waste. The rule making is expected to be published during the second quarter of 2011. What does this mean and what will be the impact on colleges and universities that operate medical centers and pharmaceutical research laboratories? How can you handle the management of these new universal wastes and stay in compliance? What role, if any, will the DEA play in this

new designation, and how the wastes will be managed? doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.050 Design considerations for waste rooms Michael Labosky Harvard University, USA An important and often overlooked service space necessary for most campuses are waste storage rooms. Laboratory buildings and research only increase the importance and complexity of these spaces. What will be handled, fire code for flammables, consolidation of materials, secondary containment, and the fine details are all considerations that must be incorporated in excellent and functional designs. This presentation will discuss the design elements that will help to make a waste room successful in terms of compliance, safety, and function. The focus will be chemical hazardous waste rooms, but guidance on radiological and biological waste storage rooms will also be discussed. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.051 Engaging your audience: The use of audience response systems in safety and health training seminars Julie LaRose Milwaukee School of Engineering, USA The use of audience response systems (ARS) technology can significantly improve the quality of safety and health training seminars. To fully appreciate the utility of these systems, it is necessary to understand how they work, to comprehend their benefits and limitations, and to see meaningful, practical examples of their use. One of the primary benefits of ARS technology is that it provides a stimulating and novel form of two-way communication between the audience and the instructor. This session will discuss the benefits of ARS. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.052 Emergency eyewash/shower testing program John Lemanski Arizona State University, USA
Arizona State University EHS has moved its annual emergency eyewash/shower testing program to an outside vendor. An overview of the university’s emergency eyewash/ shower annual testing program will be presented. The overview will discuss administrative duties for running the program, cost associated with the annual testing, testing protocol, and the various improvements that have occurred to the program. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.053 Implementing NFPA 70E for arc flash safety Daryn Lewellyn Lewellyn Technology, Inc. Rich Strong, IUPUI, USA The practical application of NFPA 70E to real-world electrical safety programs and OSHA compliance may be confusing and overwhelming. The presenter will equip attendees with the knowledge needed to keep their employees safe from electrical hazards. The presentation begins with an explanation of the link between NFPA 70E and OSHA. Included topics for discussion are arc flash analysis, approach boundaries, qualified vs. unqualified personnel, and personal protective equipment. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/ j.jchas.2012.04.054 Making tabletop exercises interesting and realistic Wayne Maines University of Maine, USA The University of Maine continues to expand it emergency management planning, training, and response efforts. One of the most cost effective and practical tools that we utilize is the tabletop exercise. In today’s climate, both time and money are shrinking resources, therefore it is even more essential that these exercises be interesting, practical, and realistic. This presentation will review a sample tabletop exercise and demonstrate some of training techniques that can be incorporated to make it fun and help engage the audience in an active participatory
