OSHA’s TOP 10 Hit List for Manufacturing – Aug 21st
This session will review the most commonly cited violations issued by OSHA to manufacturing companies in the most recent year. We will explore the details of these requirements and why they are so commonly cited in manufacturing settings. At the end of the session participants will have a good understanding of what to look for in their own organizations that might be violating safety codes…or worse, exposing workers to health or safety risk.
Agenda:
8:00-9:30 – Breakfast and Plant Tour
The series kicks off with a hearty breakfast, providing a casual setting for networking and relationship-building among local manufacturers and peers.
The event transitions into an engaging plant tour. Hosted by a local manufacturer, this guided exploration will provide an up-close look at the processes, technologies, and innovations driving their facility’s success. Participants will gain firsthand experience and witness the application of discussed topics in a real-world setting and the company’s history and impact on the central PA region and globally.
9:30-10:30 – Topic Presentation
Upon return from the plant tour, you’ll be treated to a presentation on manufacturing issues. Expert speakers will share valuable insights, drawing from their experiences to shed light on challenges and opportunities within the industry.
Following the presentation, the floor will open for a dynamic question-and-answer session, allowing attendees to interact directly with the presenters. This exchange of ideas and knowledge will contribute to a collaborative atmosphere, fostering a sense of community among manufacturing professionals.
