Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann
This insightful presentation is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the essential knowledge and tools needed to accurately value their businesses. Understanding business valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you're seeking investment, planning to sell, or simply want to gauge your company's worth.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Presentation hazcom to meet OSHA 12/13 Compliance
1. HAZ COM OSHA Training 2013
MSDS >>>>SDS
What the changes are
and how to read them
9/10/2013 0
2. MSDS defined
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a
document that provides vital information
related to any chemical or substance the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) deems hazardous. MSDS sheets are for
employees and employers who have such
materials in their workplace and are also a
useful tool for any emergency responders in the
event of a spill or exposure. OSHA performs
routine inspections of workplaces and requires
workers to know how to read MSDS sheets.
1
3. MSDS becomes SDS by the end
of 2013
To ensure that all employees have the
information they need to better protect
themselves from chemical hazards in the
workplace during the transition period, it is
critical that all employees understand the new
label and SDS formats, as we move towards the
Global Harmonization Standards(GHS) by 2015.
2
4. Changes for 2013
Both Labels and SDS must contain the
following:
Product identifier: how the hazardous chemical
is identified. This can be (but is not limited to)
the chemical name, code number or batch
number. The manufacturer, importer or
distributor can decide the appropriate product
identifier. The same product identifier must be
both on the label and in Section 1 of the SDS
(Identification).
3
5. Changes (Cont.)
Signal word: used to indicate the relative
level of severity of hazard and alert the
reader to a potential hazard on the label.
There are only two signal words, “Danger and
“Warning.” Within a specific hazard class,
“Danger” is used for the more severe hazards
and “Warning” is used for the less severe
hazards. There will only be one signal word on
the label no matter how many hazards a
chemical may have. If one of the hazards
warrants a “Danger” signal word and another
warrants the signal word “Warning,” then only
“Danger” should appear on the label.
4
6. More changes
Hazard statement(s): describe the nature of
the hazard(s) of a chemical, including, where
appropriate, the degree of hazard. For example:
“Causes damage to kidneys through prolonged or
repeated exposure when absorbed through the
skin.” All of the applicable hazard statements
must appear on the label. Hazard statements
may be combined where appropriate to reduce
redundancies and improve readability. The
hazard statements are specific to the hazard
classification categories, and chemical users
should always see the same statement for the
same hazards, no matter what the chemical is or
who produces it.
5
7. And finally,
Precautionary statement(s): means a phrase that
describes recommended measures that should be taken
to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from
exposure to a hazardous chemical or improper storage or
handling.
Name, address and phone number of the chemical
manufacturer, distributor, or importer.
6
8. SDS Labels
Information on the label can be used to ensure proper
storage of hazardous chemicals.
Information on the label might be used to quickly locate
information on first aid when needed by employees or
emergency personnel.
7
9. What is on the Pictogram?
Where a chemical has multiple hazards,
different pictograms are used to identify the
various hazards. You should expect to see the
appropriate pictogram for the corresponding
hazard class. And when there are similar
precautionary statements, the one providing the
most protective information will be included on
the label.
8
10. Pictograms
Pictogram: OSHA’s required pictograms
must be in the shape of a square set at a
point and include a black hazard symbol on
a white background with a red frame
sufficiently wide enough to be clearly
visible. A square red frame set at a point
without a hazard symbol is not a pictogram
and is not permitted on the label. OSHA has
designated eight pictograms under this
standard for application to a hazard.
9
12. Health Hazards Classification
Acute Toxicity –Contact by skin or ingestion produces adverse
effects within
24 hrs. , or 4 hrs. by inhalation Can be one or more doses.
Skin Corrosion – irreversible damage to skin after up to 4 hrs. of
contact
Skin Irritation – reversible damage to skin after up to 4 hrs. of
contact
Serious eye damage - produces irreversible eye tissue damage in
the eye within
21 hours of contact
Eye Irritation - production of reversible changes in the eye within
21 days of contact
Respiratory Sensitizer – induces hypersensitivity after inhalation
Skin Sensitizer – induces allergic reaction after contact
11
13. Health Hazard Classifications
(Cont)
Carcinogen - induces or increases cancer incidence in
the organism
Mutagen – affects the cells genetic material producing
abnormal development of an organism
Reproductive- Toxicity - adverse effects on sexual
function and fertility in adult males
and females and even offspring development
Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Single Exposure One
exposure damages or affects target organs to which the
material is more attracted or compatible to.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure
Same as prior category
but requiring multiple doses or exposures
Aspiration Hazard – damage caused by entry of a liquid
or solid directly through the oral or nasal cavity,
or into the lower respiratory system
12
14. Current Label with Quick
indicator markings
13
This diagram is numbered 1-4
with 4 being the highest level.
White indicates the protective
gear needed: for example, G
means gloves and goggles.
18. What you need to know.
Know how to use the information on the label to ensure
proper storage of hazardous chemicals.
Know how to use the information on the label to
quickly locate information on first aid when needed by
employees or emergency personnel.
You are responsible for your general understanding of
how the elements work together on a label.
For example,
Where a chemical has multiple hazards, different
pictograms are used to identify the various hazards.
The employee should expect to see the appropriate
pictogram for the corresponding hazard class. And when
there are similar precautionary statements, the one
providing the most protective information will be
included on the label.
17
19. Labels and SDS sheet should
match
Every precautionary statement would be
the same on the label and on the SDS.
18
20. What else you need to know
For example, you should know that with the
new format, Section 8 (Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection) will always
contain information about exposure limits,
engineering controls and ways to protect
yourself, including personal protective
equipment (PPE).
19
21. Section 1- Identification
The format of the 16-section SDS is the same as
ANSI and should include the following sections:
Section 1. Identification: identifies the
chemical on the SDS as well as the
recommended uses. It also provides the
essential contact information of the supplier.
Precautionary statement(s).
Description of any hazards not otherwise
classified.
20
22. Section 2- Hazard Identification

of the chemical(s) if it were released to the environment. The
information may include:
Data from toxicity tests performed on aquatic and/or terrestrial
organisms, where available (e.g., acute or chronic aquatic toxicity
data for fish, algae, crustaceans, and other plants; toxicity data on
birds, bees, plants).
Whether there is a potential for the chemical to persist and degrade
in the environment either through biodegradation or other processes,
such as oxidation or hydrolysis.
Results of tests of bioaccumulation potential, making reference to
the octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) and the
bioconcentration factor (BCF), where available.
The potential for a substance to move from the soil to the
groundwater (indicate results from adsorption studies or leaching
studies).
Other adverse effects (e.g., environmental fate, ozone layer
depletion potential, photochemical ozone creation potential,
endocrine disrupting potential, and/or global warming potential).

47. Part 7 of the HAZCOM plan
Hazard Assessment: what is our risk level onsite?
Develop a written HAZCOM Plan to meet that
risk: A written plan should include lists of
hazardous chemicals present; labeling of
containers of chemicals in the workplace, as well
as of containers of chemicals being shipped to
other workplaces; preparation and distribution of
safety data sheets to employees; and
development and implementation of employee
training programs regarding hazards of chemicals
and protective measures.
Appointment of a HAZCOM Coordinator
