Topic: What to do about the Psychology of Bad Excuses in Safety and Health Speaker: Wayne Baruch Wayne Baruch recently retired as Director of Safety from Forest Electric Corporation NJ, in Edison, NJ. During his tenure, the company passed 57 months, nearly 1.5 million work hours without any OSHA recordable incidents, and achieved an EMR of 0.212. As Forest ventured into this statistically risky safety record, he implemented a project to document and prioritize greatest areas of concern and developed programs to address those hazards, work types, and situations. This also included the creation of a “Critical Procedures Program” that mimics OSHA’s National Emphasis Program and requires extra oversight for more hazardous work and work that Forest performs less often.Before joining FEC, he served as NJ Regional EHS Manager for Bancroft Construction, Wilmington, DE & Princeton, NJ. and as a Site Safety Manager for Turner Construction, in New York. He worked on projects of up to 1 million square feet, 750 workers per day, and “major” NYC buildings. This required establishing successful working relationships with client-owners, building engineers, fire safety directors, and FDNY, NY DOT, DOB, and DEP.He now volunteers for SCORE, mentoring small business owners. Construction photography has evolved from before, during, and after photos to taking photographs of historic structures, spotlighting artisanship and ingenuity in construction, displaying nature’s beauty and tenacity, and present the ongoing competition between nature and our built world. He also loves kayaking, which is great recreation and also gives access to other great subjects for photography.6:30 p.m. $40 – Buffet Dinner
