Sixth-annual Safety Break for Oregon
Oregon OSHA encourages
employers and workers to take some time to
focus on workplace safety and health during
the sixth annual Safety Break for Oregon
scheduled for May 14.
The one-day event, which
occurs on the second Wednesday in May, is
designed to raise awareness and promote the
value of workplace safety and health in
preventing injuries and illnesses. The theme
for this year's event is Building a
Foundation for Safer Workplaces. When
businesses have a strong foundation, they
can manage workplace safety and health just
as they manage any other part of their
business.
Many employers celebrate the
Safety Break for Oregon with safety
meetings, award recognition lunches, family
gatherings, or special events.
Additional information about
the Safety Break for Oregon is available on
the Oregon OSHA web site,
www.orosha.org/subjects/safetybreak.html.

La Grande
Plays Host to Safety Conference
Blue Mountain conference
aims to improve workplace safety culture
Employers and workers in
northeastern Oregon can benefit from innovative
workplace safety and health information at the
second annual Blue Mountain Occupational Safety
and Health Conference, scheduled for June 10,
2008 at the Blue Mountain Conference Center, 404
12th St. in La Grande.
Oregon’s Occupational Safety and
Health Division (Oregon OSHA), a division of the
Department of Consumer & Business Services,
encourages workers and employers to attend this
event designed to help improve safety and health
performance. Transforming the workplace safety
culture toward proactive safety is a major step
in reducing injuries and accidents, and
decreasing workers’ compensation costs.
Some of the topics featured at
this year’s conference include:
-
Being resilient in today’s
workplace
-
How employee safety
team-tracking and trend-watching can improve
health and safety performance
-
Building a great safety
culture
-
Exhibits showcasing the
latest in safety and health products and
services
With the ever-changing business
environment, employers and workers today are
facing more challenges. Keynote speaker and
consultant Cheryl Binda will talk about how to
boost your resilience on the job and beyond.
“Most people consider themselves
to be fairly resilient,” Binda said. “The
reality is about two thirds of us aren’t
emotionally or psychologically prepared to
handle adversity, which means that instead of
facing our problems bravely and confidently, we
risk giving up and feeling helpless.”
Registration fee for the event
is $50, which includes lunch. For more
information about the conference or to register,
call Oregon OSHA’s Conference Section,
503-378-3272 or 1-888-292-5247, then option one
or visit the conferences web page at
www.orosha.org/conferences.
The conference is a joint effort
of the Oregon Safety and Health Recognition
Program (SHARP) Alliance, Oregon OSHA, and a
coalition of employers and employees from
northeast Oregon.
Oregon OSHA, a division of the
Department of Consumer & Business Services,
enforces the state’s workplace safety and health
rules and works to improve workplace safety and
health for all Oregon workers. The Department of
Consumer and Business Services is Oregon’s
largest business regulatory and consumer
protection agency. For more information, visit
www.orosha.org.
