SUMMARY:Maryland MEP Training: OSHA 30 TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:Your company’s leaders have the significant responsibility of providing a safe workplace for their employees. But while recognizing and preventing injuries is essential for all employees\, supervisors also have obligations to maintain detailed records and undertake reporting to avoid infractions. Managers are also accountable for correcting safety concerns before they turn into preventable accidents. OSHA won’t accept “I didn’t know” or “that’s not my responsibility” as a resolution\, nor will it provide any solace to an injured worker or their family. Do your leaders readily know what their safety responsibilities are? \nOverview \nThe 30-hour course is a comprehensive safety program and is intended for supervisors\, safety directors\, and lead workers with safety responsibilities. This course is designed to provide information on OSHA compliance issues\, record-keeping\, and reporting\, and to assist employers in training their employees on the practices of identifying\, reducing\, eliminating\, and reporting workplace hazards. Students who successfully complete this course will receive an OSHA 30-Hour General Industry wallet card from the OSHA Training Institute (OTI). \n\n\nWhile certain topics are required\, this training can be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization. \nTopic options can include the following: \nRequired Topics (13 hours total) \n\nIntroduction to OSHA and the OSH Act – (2 hours)\nElectrical Hazards – (2 hours)\nExits Routes & Emergency Action Plans – (2 hours)\nHazard Communication – (1 hour)\nManaging Safety & Health Programs – (2 hour)\nMaterial Storage & handling – (2 hour)\nPersonal Protective Equipment – (1 hour)\nWalking & Working Surfaces – (1 hour)\n\nElective Topics (17 hours total) \n\nAsbestos Hazards\nBasic Employee Safety Orientation\nBasic Industrial Hygiene\nBloodborne Pathogens\nConfined Spaces\nErgonomics\nHand & Power Tools\nHazardous Materials\nHAZWOPER\nFall Hazards\nFire Prevention & Protection\nFlammable Liquids\nLead Hazards\nLockout / Tagout Programs\nMachine Guarding\nProcess Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Materials\nRadiation Safety\nRecord Keeping & Reporting\nRespiratory Protection\nToxic & Hazardous Substances\nWelding\, Cutting\, & Brazing\nWorkplace Violence\n\nPlease Note: The 30-hour General Industry course is NOT equivalent to OSHA 511\, and will not meet the prerequisites to take OSHA 501. \nCost:  \n$750.00\n*Training is eligible for MD MEP’s Incumbent Worker Training Funds which can help offset up to 50% of the training costs. \nSchedule: \nThis week long training will begin on Monday February 27th and take place from 9:00AM to 3:30PM! \n\nFebruary 27\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nFebruary 28\,2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nMarch 1\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nMarch 2\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\nMarch 3\, 2017 (9:00am-3:30pm)\n\nFor more information\, please contact Kerry Wells: kwells@mdmep.org

SUMMARY:Maryland MEP Training Event: Exceptional Leader Training - Baltimore
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nThe Exceptional Leader program is a high-impact\, comprehensive\, six month leadership mastery program geared toward established and emerging leaders and is ideal for supervisors\, managers\, and project managers. This program is designed to upgrade the management skills of leaders and dramatically increase their effectiveness. \nParticipants will meet twice each month from 2:30 – 5:00 \nTopics include: \n\nModule 1: Time management and productivity\nModule 2: Leadership coaching skills and performance management\nModule 3: Engaging and recognizing employees\nModule 4: Crucial conversations and communication in the workplace\nModule 5: Effective delegation\, holding people accountable and driving consistent results\nModule 6: Leading at a higher level\n\nThis program has proven to be successful because the leaders have an opportunity to learn over the course of six months rather than all at once. This allows your leaders to go away each month and implement new skills deliberately and get the support they need along the way. Our program includes homework and accountability to ensure your leaders are applying their learning. This is truly an active and participatory workshop rather than a class where leaders are just learning principles and theory. \nSession Dates \n\nPlanning & Productivity – March 14\, 2017\nPlanning & Productivity – March 28\, 2017\nCoaching & Developing – April 11\, 2017\nCoaching & Developing – April 25\, 2017\nEngaging Employees – May 9\, 2017\nEngaging Employees – May 23\, 2016\nCrucial Conversations – June 13\, 2017\nCrucial Conversations – June 27\, 2017\nAccountability & Results – July 11\, 2017\nAccountability & Results – July 25\, 2017\nLeading at a Higher Level – August 8\, 2017\nLeading at a Higher Level – August 22\, 2017\n\nCost \n$2\,500\n**This training is eligible for MD MEP’s Incumbent Worker Funding!

Among some of the benefits of implementing these systems are improved communications; improved efficiency; reduced costs; and increased consistency of results. An EMS also helps to overcome barriers to organizational change; increases top management participation and involvement in day-to-day activities; and helps to resolve and prioritize organizational issues.

SUMMARY:MC Presidential Dialogue Series
DESCRIPTION:  \nWho: Ambassador Connie Morella\, Congresswoman  \nWhen: Thursday\, March 30\, 2017  \nWhere: Rockville Campus\nTheatre Arts Arena\n51 Mannakee Street\nRockville\, Maryland 20850 \nDescription: Civil discourse is a practice that strengthens civil society because it opens lines of contact and communication\, and builds relationships.  In the wake a year marked by public incivility in politics\, strained relationships in law enforcement\, and violence that has planted suspicion across racial difference\, more than ever our communities need to build bridges of understanding.  A series of conversations led by MC President DeRionne Pollard will attempt to do that.  The series will invite three experts in their fields\, to provoke dialogue that is inclusive\, intelligent\, and civil. By welcoming community members\, students\, faculty\, staff and elected officials\, we invite all interested participants to join our engagement efforts to challenge misperceptions\, interrogate contradictions\, and explore solutions to community problems that respect all parties.   \nProposed Invitees: College community; local community members; co-sponsors’ contacts; MCPS folks; donors
