What: Webinar: "Business and Operational Risks in Clinical and Safety: Applying Appropriate Technology and Approaches to Mitigate Risk"

All business processes are subject to some level of risk. Key to the long term viability of any company is the critical need to identify the risks, quantify them, minimize them, and have a clear plan for dealing with any residual risks.

Organizations try to mitigate risks by implementing systems that support the company's business processes. Commercial software systems that are available from vendors such as Oracle include many capabilities which, if implemented properly, greatly reduce the risks in the business process.

The implementation of complex systems is, in itself, a risky process. Organizations like BioPharm Systems have been able to use their wide range of experience to develop pre-configured and pre-validated solutions that help reduce the risks during the implementation of a clinical trial management system (CTMS) and a safety system.

This one and a half-hour webinar will provide an overview of business risks related to clinical and safety systems and will illustrate how the risks inherent in implementing complex CTMS and safety systems can be significantly reduced.

Examples of systems will be shown. This webinar will primarily use graphics, especially flowcharts, to demonstrate the principles and increase in understanding of the topics.

Details
Reduced testing test permits a medical product manufacturer to reduce testing of incoming components provided there are adequate controls on specification control, material qualification, supplier qualification & monitoring, material validation, and collaborative testing. Industry practice in the performance of reduced testing has resulted in new and modified expectations and requirements.

The benefits of systematic reduced testing program include increased compliance, smaller inventory cycles, less testing, less handling, and increased productivity and efficiency.

As industry has been looking to reduce costs, improve efficiency, the FDA has begun to more closely scrutinize the industry’s effort to make certain that the above mentioned controls are in place. In this effort the FDA is focusing on supplier control and sampling issues.

This webinar on Cal/OSHA Enforcement and Defenses will cover the recent changes in the law, specifically the four most significant developments in Cal/OSHA enforcement and defense that will have an impact in 2011.

Description
Why Should You Attend:

Employers in the state of California are generally aware of the unique challenges posed by Cal/OSHA, which has distinctive standards substantially different from federal OSHA rules, more frequent inspections, more serious citations, and much higher penalties for violations than any other state or federal OSHA.

However, many California employers are not aware of recent changes in Cal/OSHA enforcement.

This webinar will cover the four most significant developments in Cal/OSHA enforcement and defense that will have an impact in 2011: AB 2774 with respect to serious citations, multi-employer citations, Injury and Illness Prevention Program standard as a general duty to prevent accidents, and proposed expedited appeals of unabated violations.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

The following general topics will be covered in this webinar:

Recent changes in Cal/OSHA enforcement and defenses (2011).
Criteria for serious violations and changes due to AB 2774.
Definition of serious physical harm.
Multi-employer citation liability.
Avoidance of host employer liability.
I2P2, or Injury and Illness Prevention Programs.
I2P2 as a general duty to prevent accidents in California.
Abatement of citation violations.
Expedited hearings for unabated citations.
Learning Objectives:

To equip employer personnel with responsibility for OSHA compliance with the most up-to-date information on Cal/OSHA enforcement practices.

Handouts:

The webinar will include examples of forms, documents, photographs, and links to sources of standards and other inspection-related information.

Who Will Benefit:

Participants who will find this webinar particularly useful are

Senior Management
Safety professionals
Safety consultants
Plant/facility management
Operations personnel
HR Managers.
Insurance loss control advisors
The webinar's content and presentation are directed to non-environmental professionals and lawyers, like managers, facility managers, and others, but safety professionals, consultants, insurance loss control advisors, and attorneys not practicing OSHA law will find tricks of the trade and strategies described in the webinar useful.

Instructor Profile:

JAMES T. DUFOUR, MS, JD, CIH, REA is an attorney with a background in environmental management and industrial hygiene and workplace safety with more than 3 decades of experience, including private law practice since 1987 effectively representing clients in federal, California, and other state administrative, civil and criminal environmental cases. Recognized as a proficient strategist, his preventive and post-enforcement cost-effective compliance/clean-up plans have been highly regarded by clients, regulators, and judges. However, the emphasis of the practice is compliance assurance through cost-effective environmental management system design, audit programs, and educational programs. (www.dufourlegal.com)

Dufour has developed numerous environmental compliance reference manuals for trade associations and the California Chamber of Commerce.

James also has instructed thousands of participants in seminars and webinars sponsored by Dufour Seminars & Training, corporate and association clients, and webinar producers since 1986.(www.dufourseminars.com) New client inquiries are invited, including no obligation initial consultations.

Topic Background:

California’s OSHA program presents employers in this state with a more serious challenge compared to employers in other states. Unique standards, more inspections per establishment, and much higher civil penalties (up to 350% in some cases) are the best known differences between the state program and OSHA enforcement in other jurisdictions. However, despite this near-radical approach to workplace safety, there are more changes taking place that will further expand the differences between California and other states. This webinar will address four important topics that will be in effect and complicate Cal/OSHA compliance management:

1. Assembly Bill 2774: This new law changes the definition of a serious violation to eliminate “substantial probability” of causing a serious injury to a “reasonably possibility of physical harm.” It defines physical harm much more broadly than serious injury. This law also changes the way serious citations are issued by establishing a 15-day pre-issuance notice to the employer. The employer may provide exculpatory information in response to the notice, but any admissions or mistakes will be used against it in any appeal proceedings.

2. Multi-Employer Citations: California law has the most liberal policy in the nation for issuing citations to any employer at a multi-employer worksite. So liberal that legal experts call it “multi-employer madness.” Host employers (called controlling employers in the policy) in this state can be liable if they hire a contractor and a contractor employee is injured due to the contractor’s violation, even if the violation is not known or outside of the expertise of the host employer. A number of cases that are moving through the state courts indicate that employers need to know how to protect themselves against “multi-employer madness.”

3. Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) as a General Duty Clause: To an increasing extent, which will be accelerated by AB 2774, Cal/OSHA interprets its IIPP Standard [8 CCR § 3203] as a general duty to prevent accidents. As a result, employers can receive accident-related serious citations with $18,000-plus penalties for not identifying and controlling hazards, even if the accident were unforeseen or not regulated by an standard. Such citations can be issued even when the employer has established a compliant I2P2 program.

4. Expedited Hearings for Non-Abated Violations: Generally, an appeal of a citation stays its abatement pending the outcome. It has long been a goal of Cal/OSHA to require employers to abate violations as a condition of the appeal, despite criticism about considering the employer guilty before the opportunity to defend itself in the appeal. Nonetheless the move to expedite abatement is moving forward. It is expected that the Cal/OSHA Appeals Board will amend its regulations to expedite hearings of unabated serious citation appeals. This topic will cover abatement issues, proof of abatement, and status of the proposed regulation.
