Welcome

WM-ASSP Empowering Operations to Lead Hazard Risk Assessments

Join us for a focused session on how organizations can strengthen safety performance by shifting hazard risk assessments from a traditional compliance activity to an operations-driven practice. This topic will highlight how frontline involvement transforms risk assessments into action, real-time insights that reflect the true dynamics of work.

WM-ASSP Empowering Operations to Lead Hazard Risk Assessments

We’ll explore how operational ownership improves hazard recognition, elevates the quality of assessments, and embeds risk awareness into daily decision-making. By placing the assessment process in the hands of those closest to the work, organizations can generate more actionable information and reduce exposure before incidents occur.

A central theme of the session will be the development of a proactive risk metric, one that trends residual risk scoring, and a hierarchy of controls approach to reducing risk. This forward-looking metric provides leaders with a clearer understanding of organizational exposure, allowing for targeted interventions, informed resource allocation, and strategic improvements.

WMASSP Program: Lithium Battery Safety

WM-ASSP Lithium-Ion Battery Presentation 2026

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere. In our pockets, on our desks, in manufacturing, on construction sites, and in our garages. From EV charging stations, forklifts, warehouses, and power tools, these batteries are integrated into our lives. This session will provide guests with what exposures are in their workplace & homes and steps to minimize that loss potential. We will learn what makes up a Lithium-Ion battery, why they are so difficult to extinguish, what steps fire departments are taking to combat this, and what your insurance carrier’s stance is on this special hazard.
