The Reasonable Suspicion Process: How to Document
Employers are often unsure what to do when they suspect an employee is under the influence of alcohol or drugs in the workplace. This is an especially challenging situation for businesses where safety is a critical factor. Although focused on non-D.O.T. protocol, this best-practice guidance is useful in any context.
Sharon Van Auken, CITEC Business Advisor

OSHA Recent Findings/Q&A
Learn how to improve your safety efforts by hearing what OSHA is focusing on and what other companies have recently been cited for. Always a popular portion of the Annual North Country Safety Day, this is an ideal time to ask questions of our OSHA representative and safety expert.
Jeff Prebish, OSHA Syracuse Area Director

Group Discussions Focusing on New Ideas, Practices, Events
Facilitated breakout discussions around new tools that safety professionals are using in their facilities, how they were implemented, how they were received, what impacts they’ve had, what went well, and what could have been better. 
Steve Lockwood, CITEC Executive Director

Standard Training for Safety and Retention
The way a business implements onboarding and training will greatly affect their safety and retention outcomes. We will evaluate a standard work template, training techniques, and onboarding best practices. 
Kate Chepeleff, CITEC Business Advisor 

Required Frequency and Other Details
This session will be a fun, interactive reminder about required training and inspection frequncy in different industries and under different circumstance, and how and why to catch up on compliance if there has been a lapse. We'll also include a random assortment of facts and figures we have found fascinating lately but haven't been able to build a whole session around.
