Often, deciding who to promote to a supervisory position is based on how well the person performs his or her assigned job. And it makes sense to promote a person as a reward for a job well done. But many times, the new supervisor is unintentionally set up for failure. You do this if you place a person in a role that he or she may not fully understand – or, worse yet, a role with legal responsibilities the new supervisor doesn’t even know about.
Bring your supervisors along and join us on May 21 for a 90-minute audio conference that addresses the safety roles and responsibilities of frontline management. Under the law, people in these positions are agents of the company, representing you and executive management to the employees and to the regulatory agencies. In this audio conference, you and your supervisors will learn what the law expects of them – and the legal and practical consequences if they fall short.
You and your colleagues will:
- Learn the responsibilities, roles, and rights that managers and supervisors have during OSHA and MSHA inspections
- Understand the importance of intelligent documentation to comply with regulations and create a defense to citations
- Review roles in interacting with and being responsible for direct-report employees
- Develop legally sound procedures and actions for incident investigations
- Obtain the latest information on contractor liability and best approaches to select contractors to work on-site
- Learn how to best utilize specialists, consultants, and expert witnesses
