Demystifying Your EMR

Presented by: Kelly Pina, CSP, CIT, CSHM, OHST Health and Safety Manager at VHB

Many people view a company’s EMR as a proxy for its health and safety record, which can unfairly punish companies in the procurement process. A high EMR, however, often has nothing to do with a company’s health and safety record. Indeed, there is a lot of mystery behind the calculation of the score and its intended purpose. This session will provide an in-depth understanding of the elusive EMR and provide techniques to help you manage it. Don’t let your EMR impact on your ability to get work or disqualify you from projects. Participants will learn what factors are driving their score and what it means and will get recommendations on how to improve the score and their company’s safety culture. Don’t let your score hold you back. By the end of this presentation, you’ll learn everything you need to know about an EMR.

Understanding Legionnaires Disease

Reducing Injuries through Ergonomic Evaluation

Companies lose thousands of hours of skilled labor due to soft tissues and musculoskeletal injuries every year. This contributes to lost revenue, cost over runs and even equipment failure. This class will discuss how conducting work site evaluations through the worker lenses and fitting the work to the worker can contribute to significantly reducing these costs and providing a safer work environment for all.

Registration/Check-In
Check-in for registered attendees and for those wishing to register on site will be located on the second floor concourse of the UMass Amherst Campus Center, right outside of the University Store.

Parking
Discounted Parking is available in the Campus Center Parking Garage. For GPS purposes, the garage is located at 91 Campus Center Way, Amherst, MA, 01003. Click here to obtain directions from your location. 

Campus Center Way is off of Commonwealth Avenue, across the street from the Mullins Center. After turning onto Campus Center Way stay to the left to go up the hill. You will see the garage entrance on your right. The UMass Parking Garage is gateless - no ticket is required!  We recommend following the Hotel UMass/Campus Center signs down to park on Level 2, where there is a marked entrance into the Campus Center. Alternatively, you can park on any level and use the Northeast or Southeast Stairwells to gain access to outdoor campus paths that lead down to the Campus Center. The garage clearance is 7' 2".  You will enter on Level 3 and exit on Level 4. Note: if you require use of our loading dock, instead of proceeding up the hill to the public Campus Center Parking Garage, take an immediate right and follow the service road to the loading dock. You may quickly unload there and then will need to move your vehicle to the Campus Center Parking Garage.

As you arrive at the garage, no ticket is required and there is no longer a gate on the garage, just enter and park. You must register your license plate within 20 minutes of entering the garage at one of the pay stations before entering the Campus Center. Prior to the Summit, we will email you parking instructions.  Additional arrival details will be sent to all registered vendors and attendees as the summit approaches.

This airport is approximately 45 miles (about a 50 minute drive) from the UMass campus. From Bradley attendees will need to book a shuttle service or rent a car to get to campus (see the transportation options below). 

Attendees may find additional flight options into Logan International Airport in Boston, located approximately 95 miles (about a 2 - 2.5 hour drive) from the UMass campus. While more flight options are typically available into Logan, please remember to account for extra travel time to campus. Please also be sure to organize transportation to/from the airport to campus in advance of your arrival. From Logan attendees may book one of the shuttle services below, rent a car, or travel by Peter Pan Bus. Click here for Peter Pan bus ticket purchase details and scheduling. To ensure appropriate bus service to/from campus please select "Boston (Logan Airport), MA" as your "From:" destination and "Amherst UMass, MA" as your "To:" destination. 

Transportation Services 
Shuttle services and/or rental cars should be arranged prior to your travel. Please note there are no standing shuttles that run each day between Bradley/Logan and the UMass campus so additional arrangements must be made in advance.

     - Valley Transporter, 413-253-1350
     - Seemo Shuttle, 413-586-1120 
     - Exclusive Car Service, 413-534-3505
     - Bluebird Transportation, 413-221-4512
     - Enterprise

Traveling by Bus
Amherst and the surrounding area are serviced by Peter Pan Bus Lines, Greyhound and the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA). The most convenient service is offered by Peter Pan, so when possible those traveling by bus should book a Peter Pan bus ticket using "Amherst UMass, MA" as the destination (note the "Amherst Center, MA" stop is in downtown Amherst and will require additional travel to arrive on campus). Greyhound offers bus service to nearby Northampton, MA, located about a 20 minute drive from campus. From Northampton attendees should plan to travel to campus via a taxi service, Uber/Lyft, or PVTA bus.

Traveling by Train
Amtrak provides passenger rail service to nearby Northampton, MA, located a 20 minute drive from the UMass campus, and Springfield, MA, located a 30 minute drive from the UMass campus. For schedule information and to purchase tickets, visit Amtrak's website and select "Northampton, MA (NHT)" or "Springfield, MA (SPG)" as your arrival destination.

If you take a train to Northampton, MA, you will then need to take either a bus or taxi to the UMass campus. Both PVTA and Peter Pan buses service the area, but the bus stops are not located at the train platform and will require about a 7 minute walk. If you prefer, you may use one of the many local taxi services or Uber/Lyft. We encourage you to carefully plan your trip - including bus or taxi services - prior to your arrival as the Northampton train platform is not a train station and phone access, area maps, bus schedules, and bus tickets will not be available once you arrive. If you decide to take a train out of Northampton, remember to purchase your return ticket online prior to arriving at the platform. The train platform is located at 170 Pleasant Street in Northampton, MA.

If you take a train to Springfield, MA, we recommend booking a shuttle service, such as Valley Transporter, to get you from Springfield to Amherst. Bus services, including Peter Pan, are also available, but will require about a 15 minute walk from the train station to the bus stop. The train will arrive at the Springfield station building, located at 66 Lyman Street in Springfield, MA. This station building does have a waiting room, ticket office, quik-trak kiosk, and payphone, but we do still encourage you to plan your trip, including services from the train station to campus, prior to your arrival.
