OSHA "Safe + Sound Week"
Safe _ Sound
 
 
Every August, OSHA promotes Safe + Sound Week, highlighting their year-round campaign to encourage workplaces to develop a workplace safety program. Nevada state law requires a written workplace safety program for employers with more than 10 employees. The Safe + Sound campaign focuses on realistic steps employers can take to increase workplace safety.
 
Campaign topics include:
Management Leadership - When you reinforce sincere leadership with actions that increase safety, your workers know you value the steps they take to improve safe work practices because those translate to business success. Try this step: Accept the "3 in 30 Challenge", to choose 3 safety-improving actions you'll take this month.
Worker Participation - Your employees intimately know the potential hazards associated with their jobs. Involve them in finding solutions and they become more invested. To maximize participation, let workers know there's no need to fear retaliation or discrimination (e.g., for reporting an injury or hazardous condition). Try this step: Make safety personal. Ask an employee who they go home to and why that person is important to them.
Find & Fix Hazards - One way to find and fix a workplace hazard is to wait until it injures an employee. But what if you could proactively find and fix a hazard without injuring an employee? As you grow and modernize your operations, you incorporate new technologies, processes, materials, and workers. Having a proactive and systematic approach to safety allows you to stay ahead of emerging hazards that could cause injury or illness. Try this step: Use the "Walk-Arounds for Safety Officers" handout to guide a job-site inspection. You can find it and other materials at www.osha.gov/safeandsound. If you haven't visited OSHA's website recently, their page for Safe + Sound is the place to start. It has resources to help your company, whatever level your safety administration skills are. And there's no registration to use any or all of the materials. For materials and information on the Safe + Sound Program, visit www.osha.gov/safeandsound. For more safety resources and assistance in making real safety improvements at your workplace, please contact PGM Safety Services, an affiliate company of Pro Group Manageme

Prominence








Prominence Health Plan puts accessible health care at the forefront of Nevada by providing members with a robust hospital network and unparalleled resources. As a means of quality, convenient health care, all Prominence Health Plan members have access to telemedicine services through Teladoc for a $0 copay*. Members can reach U.S. board-certified doctors, pediatricians and therapists by phone or video 24-hours a day, every day of the year. 
 
Through telemedicine, Prominence members receive accessible care regardless of location and can speak with a doctor who can diagnose, recommend treatment and prescribe medication, when appropriate, for a variety of medical issues including bronchitis, cold and flu, sinus problems and more. Additionally, behavioral health services are also available through Teladoc (members age 18 and older). Members can reach out to licensed therapists from the comfort of their own home for assistance with the challenges of everyday life treating anxiety, depression and family and marriage issues.
 
You must be a member of the Nevada Builder's Alliance Association Health Plan to enroll in a Prominence Health Plan association health plan. Plans are open to NBA members with 2 (unrelated) to 50 full-time employees and you can choose from five comprehensive health plans including HMO and PPO. Options are available to NBA members in Washoe, Clark, Carson, Douglas, Lyon, Storey counties, as well as Gardnerville and Zephyr Cove. Group enrollment is taking place now for effective dates through December 1, 2019. All groups renew January 1, 2020.
 
Other value-added health plan benefits include COBRA administration for employers and specialized care access for members through the Centers of Excellence travel reimbursement program.
