Mark your calendar for the following safety webinars from ERNWest, WSDA's partner in administering the WSDA Retro program.

Qualitative Respirator Fit Testing

Qualitative fit testing of respirators can be performed by anyone. No specific training program or certification is required for those who conduct fit tests. This webinar will discuss the types of respirators that can be qualitatively fit tested, why we need to fit test respirators and the steps to perform a qualitative fit test.


Unified Fall Protection

Erich Smith Labor and Industries Technical expert will provide an overview and update to the new Unified Fall Protection Rule recently adopted by Washington State Labor and Industries.


Workplace Violence

Violence in our workplaces is a growing reality and one requiring our increased attention. OSHA cites an estimated 2 million workers in the U.S. who report being victims of workplace violence each year, with many more going unreported. And, unfortunately, acts of extreme violence, such as active shooter, are also on the rise, with the FBI reporting a three-fold increase between the years 2009 and 2016.


Incident Analysis: A Systems Approach

If no one was injured and nothing damaged, why report it? Preventing accidents from occurring requires a closer look using incident analysis. This webinar will provide a systematic approach to revealing issues with machine processes and help determine the best corrective actions to help reduce on site incidents.


OSHA 300 Recordkeeping

Federal OSHA has not made any substantive changes to the Recordkeeping rules in the past year. However, over the past three years there have been changes to the rules that warrant review each year to ensure every employer remains compliant with the rules. This webinar will cover the “Nuts & Bolts” of the process and a second webinar will deal with the electronic reporting process.
