​www.SafetyCommitteeUniversity.com training modules have been viewed by over 230 people. What was started in 2020 after the pandemic began when we were unable to hold our in-person safety conference has continued to serve safety committees needing training. This training can both satisfy Oregon OSHA training requirements for all safety committees and improve the knowledge and skills of those members. We have had great feedback and appreciation and it continues to get use all over Oregon. This self-paced training program has all of the handouts, and quizzes for employers to facilitate the training for their workers.
 
In the past few months, we have updated some of the content. Here is an overview of the updated modules:
 
Welcome Message
In this opener, we hear about the importance of safety committees in Oregon. This has been edited down to 10:35 minutes to remain relevant today and includes welcome from David Hanson of SAIF and past ASSP President, Michael Wood, former Oregon OSHA administrator, Mark Hurliman also from Oregon OSHA, Pam Ahr from SAIF, John Vial formerly of Jackson County Roads and Parks, Tim Hart from Duro-Last Roofing, and others.
 
Module 1 - Safety Committee Roles and Responsibilities
This session presented by Pam Ahr teaches safety committees the roles and responsibilities necessary for a high-performing and engaged safety team. Members will learn how they fit into the bigger picture and meet the Oregon OSHA requirements.
 
Module 2 - Effective Incident Analysis
David Hanson did such a great job presenting this, we decided to leave it in the program. Effective incident analysis is an important way to prevent injuries from happening again and learning the systems approach to incident analysis will enable safety committees to understand causal factors and mitigation techniques that will get results.
 
Module 3 - Hazard Identification
Another update to our program this year is with a great presentation by Craig Hamelund, an ever popular conference presenter. This session will examine the basic types of hazards, how they interact with other variables in the workplace to create risk and how to continue developing skills to find industry specific hazards in your workplace.
 
Module 4 - Safety Committee Toolbox
Craig dazzled us with another great presentation. This special session provides a toolbox of resources that can help new safety committees understand how to excel in their effectiveness and help stagnant safety committees rejuvenate their team.
 
Module 5 - Engaging Employees
Jon Sowers delivered this high-scoring presentation and we had to include it in the program. This session provides the secret sauce of successful safety programs anywhere. Learn how to supercharge your safety teams by giving them ownership of the team and process.
 
To take advantage of this fully online training program, visit, www.safetycommitteeuniversity.com, print out the training roster and certificates and lead your team through the series of excellent trainings.
 
Eventually, our plan is to update this program and host it on a self-paced e-learning website that can keep track of where you leave off and send reminders to finish the courses. For now, we offer this valuable training content for you to take advantage of with your safety teams.

Sincerely,
Michael Hill, Past ASSP Conference Chair and Safety Committee University Coordinator
