Protect Your Most Valuable Asset
Presented by: Dan Drown, Owner, Drown Consulting, LLC
Occupational injury and illness is an unnecessary, avoidable cost of doing business. Effective implementation of workplace safety and health programs saves businesses billions of dollars each year. Does your business have an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program that complies with Cal OSHA requirements? Are your employees properly trained and do you have all of the necessary documentation? Does the program really work or is it just a book on the shelf?
This presentation will review some of the common findings from safety management system audits performed by Cal OSHA as part of the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). The opportunities for improvement will be highlighted and practical solutions offered while tracing them to the requirements of the Cal OSHA Injury and Illness Prevention Program. Communication, workplace inspection, training of employees and supervisors, and incident investigation will be discussed.
Understanding Fiduciary Roles and Responsibilities
Presented by: Sean M. Ciemiewicz, Managing Partner - Retirement Benefits Group
Managing or working with a retirement plan involves fiduciary responsibility and personal liability. Ignorance is not a viable defense in the case of an ERISA audit or participant lawsuit. If you are responsible, in any way, for the management of your company’s retirement plan, this presentation will provide some basic insight into your role and responsibility as a fiduciary of the plan. We will explore what a fiduciary is and some of the ways you can help yourself to limit your liability.
