Rickey Miller was a founding member and team leader of his department’s SWAT team and is currently the commanding officer of the Training Division. Rickey is a certified instructor in active shooter incidents, defensive tactics, less lethal munitions, pepper spray, Taser, and police driving.

Friday, February 24, 2017 Breakout Session #7A 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM Track A - Culture Understanding And Addressing Risk Tolerance In The Workplace William Garnes During this session participants will learn why individuals and groups sometime appear to ignore hazards in the work place. In the past, we thought that workers did not recognize the hazard, or did not properly understand the extent of the risk presented by the hazard. When we look at RISK TOLERANCE, we find that individuals may properly identify the workplace hazards, but for a variety of reasons the workers accept the risk and proceed with the task in an unsafe manner.

Friday, February 24, 2017 Breakout Session #7B 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM Track B - Leadership Safety Approaches That Can Be Used By OSH Professionals In Other Disciplines Riad Efendi, PHD Safety Approaches that Can be Used by OSH Professionals in Other Disciplines In its formative years, the OSH profession was shaped by compliance with prescriptive procedures and protocols. It is only in recent decades that this paradigm has shifted to risk-based assessment, analysis and mitigation. Furthermore, safety management is now viewed as a true career, with college degrees, certifications, professional societies, conferences, work-shops and subject-matter experts. At a time when respected companies pride themselves on safety performance and when all employees are encouraged to be safety advocates, OSH professionals should recognize how the tools and approaches that define the safety profession, such as Root-Cause Analysis, Audits, Hazard Identification and Communication, can be used to employers' advantage.

Riad Efendi graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Environmental Biophysics. After military training and service at a ballistic missiles control center, he worked as an OSH specialist for Russian national oil company, before joining faculty at the University of Texas Medical School. Riad is an Exemplar (former RAB-QSA) certified Lead Auditor in Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety

management systems. Currently with TechnipFMC, he is credited with creating and rolling out Technip’s HSE management system and taking it through ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications, as well as developing its behavior-based safety system. In 2016 he received the Company’s most prestigious Franquelin Award and American Society of Safety Engineers’ Safety Management Innovation Award for development of mobile application for site visit reports and observations. During his industry and academic tenure, Riad has published more than 20 peer-reviewed articles and has been speaking at national and international professional meetings.
