Event Date:

Presenter: 
Laura S. Poitsky and Matt Thayer of Safeguard Technology

How employers can reduce incident rates, Workers’ Compensation costs and address compliance issues  through proven techniques and solutions. 

Laura Poritsky is currently utilizing her safety and quality training, along with 20+ years of experience working in Industrial environments, to offer anti-slip, safety consultations and solutions at Safeguard Technology.   In her 3 years with Safeguard Technology, she has been visiting customer sites, reviewing photos to evaluate their safety concerns, and providing AIA-HSW CES courses on “Preventing Sips, Trips & Falls”.

Seeing an industrial accident firsthand years ago sparked her career in Safety, focusing on Prevention and Continuous Improvements.   She has training certificates from OSHA, Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, Red Cross, ISO and QS International Quality Standards.  As a Quality/Safety Internal Auditor, she audited the office, warehouse/plant employees and conducted safety training. 

Laura attends Safety Industry trade show/expos in person; most recently from ASSP(American Society of Safety Professionals), Northeast Ohio Facilities Maintenance & Management, and next month she will be working our Safeguard booth at another Safety Expo sponsored by Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.  Laura’s OSHA-trained eye can identify potential hazards, and her current experience in the anti-slip safety products business, allows her to ask the right questions to advise preventive and corrective solutions.
