Clarion Safety Systems’ CEO to Present Educational Seminar on OSHA/ANSI Safety Sign Systems at ASSE Safety 2014
Milford, PA (PRWEB) June 05, 2014 -- Clarion Safety Systems, a leading designer and manufacturer of safety signs and labels, announced today its participation in the American Society of Safety Engineers’ (ASSE) Safety 2014 Professional Development Conference (PDC) to be held June 8 – 11, 2014 in Orlando, Florida. As one of the experts selected to lecture on the latest issues and trends facing safety, health and environmental professionals, Clarion CEO Geoffrey Peckham will present an educational session on OSHA/ANSI safety sign systems as an outcome of risk assessment.
Peckham, who also serves as chair of both the ANSI Z535 Committee for Safety Signs and Colors and the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO Technical Committee 145 – Graphical Symbols, will present at the ASSE PDC on Monday, June 9 from 10:30 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. in session # 517, “A New and Powerful Risk Reduction Technique: Creating OSHA/ANSI Safety Sign Systems as an Outcome of Risk Assessment.” The session is sponsored by Chubb Group of Insurance Companies and by ASSE’s Manufacturing Practice Specialty.
“Many safety professionals aren’t aware of OSHA’s recent safety sign regulation changes – changes that go far beyond the GHS initiative and effect nearly every industry. This session will explain how to use the new tools of risk assessment and the OSHA/ANSI safety sign standards to create safety sign systems that reduce accidents and prevent liability exposure,” says Peckham. “As leaders in safety, we all share a common goal: to reduce accidental injuries and deaths. In this seminar, we’ll explore these two new tools and how they can be practically applied, with the ultimate goal of helping to create safer work environments to prevent fatalities, injuries and illnesses.”
Peckham’s background in the field includes more than two decades of experience in actively advancing safety communications. He has led and continues to lead both the U.S. and international efforts to harmonize standards in the area of safety signs, labels and markings; this includes contributing to the leadership and direction of ANSI, ISO, OSHA and NFPA safety codes.
