NEW! Workplace Violence, Sexual Harassment
and Occupational Safety

In the wake of the #MeToo movement, workplace harassment is
under increasing scrutiny from an employment law perspective.
However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg – it may cross into OSHA
territory when harassment includes workplace violence. This work-
shop will cover the basics of what constitutes workplace violence,
the No. 1 cause of occupational fatalities for women. It will also
address illegal workplace harassment (including sexual assault as
well as hostile work environment). Employers must provide a safe
work environment under OSHA’s General Duty Clause and prevent
workplace violence. OSHA policies and rulemaking, along with con-
gressional initiatives, will be addressed, as well as best practices for
prevention and worker education.

Actively Caring for People’s Safety:
How to Cultivate and Sustain a Brother’s/

In this workshop, based on humanistic behaviorism, we’ll discuss
evidence-based guidelines for improving the quality and increasing
the frequency of safety-related behavior. These lessons will improve
quality of life by reducing interpersonal conflict and enhancing work
productivity and life satisfaction. These guidelines reflect applied
behavioral science principles of positive reinforcement, observa-
tional learning, and behavior-based feedforward and feedback.
These lessons define “Actively Caring for People’s Safety: How
to Cultivate a Brother’s/Sister’s Keeper Work Culture,” a training
manual used to teach practical strategies for addressing the human
