California preparing sweeping workplace violence prevention regulations
The proposed
regulations would require significant resources dedicated to training,
prevention, emergency response and record keeping.
In the wake of recent mass shootings in Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton, national
attention has turned its focus yet again to the highly charged debate over gun
control, mental health and terrorism. These attacks happened not only in places
open to the public (a festival, a large-chain retailer, and a bar), but also
places where people work. While the country struggles to address seemingly
random violence in public spaces, these areas are workplaces too. California is
responding with workplace violence regulations for every employer in the state.
In the last few years, California’s response has been to push through laws and
regulations aimed at preventing workplace violence of all types, including
“active shooter” incidents. The most recent set of proposed regulations, which
could become final as early as later this year,
is holistic and requires an interdisciplinary approach and a true partnership
between workers and employers. As a result, it also will require significant
resources dedicated to training, prevention, emergency response, and record
keeping. These California regulations are
set to be a model for similar laws in states across the country as well as under
the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act.
While still subject to further revision, the most recent draft includes the
following primary components for workplace violence prevention programs:
-
A written
workplace violence prevention plan
containing various elements (unlike the Injury and Illness Prevention
Program (IIPP) standard, there is no exception for small employers). Some of
the elements mirror the requirements of the IIPP standard (identifying,
evaluating, and investigating hazards; employee communication; and
procedures for reporting concerns). The proposed regulations, however, also
include additional requirements like addressing methods that an employer
should use to implement the plan in conjunction with other employers on
multi-employer worksites, as well as procedures to respond to workplace
violence emergencies, including active shooter threats. Further, the plan
must be reviewed periodically and after any workplace violence incident that
results in an injury.
-
A violent
incident log, which must describe in
detail each and every incident, post-incident response, and workplace
violence injury investigation.
-
Implementation of
a
comprehensive training program
and various other record-keeping requirements.

Webinar: OSHA Inspections: Understanding Your Rights and Navigating the
Process to Minimize Your Citation Risk
Every employer dreads a knock on the door from an OSHA inspector. But an
inspection doesn't need to be your worst nightmare. If you take proactive
steps to find and fix hazards, develop a detailed plan for handling an
inspection, understand and exercise your rights, and operate in good faith
throughout the process, you can significantly reduce your chances of
damaging citations and fines.
While OSHA and its state counterparts cannot inspect every facility, that
doesn't mean you can afford to be complacent about the risk of an
inspection. The facilities that receive visits from OSHA are far from
random, and the combination of your industry, your history of violations,
and your injury and illness rates can significantly raise your inspection
risk. With a single willful or repeat violation now carrying a maximum
penalty of $132,598, being unprepared for an OSHA inspection can be more
costly than ever.
Join us for an informative webinar that will provide guidance on planning
for an OSHA inspection, navigating the inspection process, and proactively
managing safety compliance to reduce your chances of citations and fines.

DHS Announces Plan to Combat Domestic Terrorism
Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin K. McAleenan announced the new
DHS Strategic Framework for Combating Terrorism and Targeted Violence at
the Brookings Institution, during an event cohosted by the Heritage
Foundation. The Acting Secretary explained that the new strategic framework
will make it clear that the Department is committed to addressing the threat
posed by terrorism and targeted violence at home, just as it is committed to
continuing to aggressively pursue the foreign terrorist organizations it has
denied entry to the United States for nearly 17 years.

Walmart to quit selling e-cigarettes amid vaping backlash
The nation's largest retailer said Friday that it will stop selling
electronic cigarettes at its namesake stores and Sam's Clubs in the U.S.
when it sells out its current inventory. Walmart said the move is due to
"growing federal, state and local regulatory complexity" regarding vaping
products. It also comes after several hundred people have mysteriously
fallen ill after vaping, and eight have died.
Walmart's decision is the latest blow to the vaping industry, which has
tried to position its products as healthier alternatives to smoking
cigarettes, which are responsible for 480,000 deaths a year, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the industry has come
under increased scrutiny after the deaths and illnesses — along with a surge
in underage vaping.
Walmart is not the
first major retailer to halt sales of e-cigarettes.
Rite Aid,
one of the country’s biggest pharmacy chains, said in April that it would stop
selling vaping supplies, and in August,
Dollar General,
one of the fastest-growing retailers in rural parts of the country, also pulled
the products from its stores. And
Costco
pulled all e-cigarette products from its shelves about two weeks ago, the
company said.
One of Walmart’s largest competitors,
Target, has never sold vaping devices
and took cigarettes off its shelves in 1996. But as the largest retailer in the
country, Walmart often sets an example for
others in the industry.

Walmart CEO a 'woke' leader?
Ex-Overstock.com CEO Sells $90m In Shares, Says ‘Deep State’ Out To Get Him
Patrick Byrne’s dramatic exit from Overstock.com Inc. had a surprise second
act last week, as the former chief executive sold his large stake in the company
and blamed the Securities and Exchange Commission, which he referred to as “the
Deep State’s pets.”
In an SEC filing Wednesday afternoon, Byrne disclosed the disposal of his
roughly 4.8 million shares in Overstock shares during the past three trading
sessions, with all but 87,000 shares sold on the open market for roughly $90
million. The remainder was given as a gift to an undisclosed recipient.
The longtime chief executive left Overstock in late August after
proclaiming in a corporate news release that he had an affair with a
convicted Russian agent and had provided important information to the U.S.
Justice Department about Russian involvement in U.S. politics.

The Top 10 Global Brands of 2019 in Retail, Apparel, and Luxury
 By
Tony D'Onofrio, Global Retail Influencer
In today's increasingly complex world, branding is critical to lasting
success. Every year, I look forward to the latest
BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Brands study. This article summarizes the
nearly 200-page report with a focus on retail, apparel, and luxury.
"Consumers expected superior customer experience, including rapid delivery.
More mindful about the health and wellness of themselves and the planet, they
also demanded a high level of responsibility and ethical behavior from brands.
To meet consumer expectations, brands become more sophisticated about gathering
and analyzing data, increasingly applying the insights across multiple
businesses and ignoring category borders to create integrated brand ecosystems."
The Top 10 Retail Brands -
Digitization Transforms Shopping Experience
"It was not a surprise, but it was not inevitable. Amazon this year
surpassed Apple and Google to reach the No. 1 rank in the BrandZ Top 100 Most
Valuable Global Brands. With a 52 percent year-on-year increase, Amazon achieved
a brand value of $315.5 billion."
"To meet — and shape — consumer expectations for frictionless shopping,
retailers rebalanced and integrated their online and offline operations. Walmart,
with a legacy of physical stores, invested in improving online presence, and
e-commerce leaders Amazon and Alibaba added physical locations."
Retail was one of the fastest growing brand value categories at +25%. Over
the last 13 years of the report, retailers' brand value has increased 378% and
the top 20 are valued at $721 billion.

Retailers shutter doors in solidarity with climate change strike
On Friday, Patagonia, Lush and several other retailers shuttered stores in
solidarity with students leaving classrooms to stage demonstrations in support
of climate change action. Lush also closed its U.S. retail and e-commerce
operations for the day, according to a
company blog post and information emailed to customers.
In a Sept. 12 LinkedIn post announcing the move, Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario had
strong words for companies that don’t take meaningful action. "The plain
truth is that capitalism needs to evolve if humanity is going to survive," she
wrote, calling on JPMorgan Chase & Co., Amazon, General Motors "and other
members of the Business Roundtable" to "follow through and walk the talk."

How Gap Inc.'s LP leader also helps preserve the planet
 Keith
White has a unique title and position. As
the executive vice president of loss
prevention and global sustainability at Gap Inc.,
the skills and knowledge acquired through a career in loss prevention help him
look at the bigger picture - much bigger than just himself or the company. "I
feel like there's a better nexus between global sustainability and loss
prevention," he says: In one way he's charged with the responsibility to protect
the planet, in the other he's working to preserve it. On this episode, White
joins the Retail Gets Real team to discuss emerging trends in the loss
prevention world and how the apparel retailer is taking corporate social
responsibility to the next level.
White sees three emerging trends in LP. First, active shooter and other
emergency incidents are a growing threat. He stresses the importance of proper
training for retail stores, team members, corporate headquarters and everyone on
the supply chain so they are prepared to respond appropriately in emergency
incidents. The opioid epidemic is "driving people who are educated and have
access to wealth to make decisions or to do things that they typically wouldn't
do," White says, "whether it's shoplifting behavior or it's violent behavior."
He urges those in loss prevention to understand the effect the drug has on their
businesses.

Interrogation or Negotiation?
The amount of times an LP/AP professional has to
perform as a sales person is greatly underestimated. I’m not referring to
interviewing, although that is sometimes considered in the same framework as a
negotiation or sale. I’m describing the incredible uphill battle of selling a
new shrink reduction strategy, the need for additional payroll or technology
investment, a persuasive debate with human resources, or most importantly – the
value that their role brings to the organization. Truth be told, any
investigator that conducts interviews has the upper hand when it comes to
strategic preparation of these “sales”. Here are some simple translations from
the interview room – to the board room.

WeWork's Wi-Fi Exposed Files, Credentials, Emails
For years, sensitive documents and corporate
data have been easily viewable on the coworking space's open network.
WeWork's weak Wi-Fi security has been leaving sensitive data accessible on its
open network for years. That may have compromised both organizations that work
in WeWork spaces as well as those that have never entered WeWork but do business
with companies that use its offices.
A Fast Company
report back in August highlighted poor security practices by the real
estate firm, which rents out coworking spaces to mostly small businesses. A
new report from CNET takes a deeper dive into the extent of WeWork's oversight
and implications for its customers.
The findings come from Teemu Airamo, who
according to CNET evaluated WeWork's Wi-Fi security in 2015 before moving
his digital media company into one of its Manhattan offices. He was able to view
hundreds of other companies' financial records and devices on the building's
network; upon alerting the community manager, he found out WeWork already knew
this was possible. Attempts to bring the Wi-Fi security issue through the ranks
to WeWork's upper management proved fruitless.

Online Marketplaces And The $1.8T Counterfeit Problem
Illicit and counterfeit goods make up a multibillion-dollar fraudulent industry,
with merchants suffering $323 billion in total losses from counterfeit products
in 2017. Online sales of such products are projected to reach $1.8 trillion by
2020, presenting a problem for third-party marketplaces that allow individual
sellers onto their platforms.
Fast Speeds, Smaller Packages and Online Counterfeiting
The increase in counterfeit goods on such marketplaces can be attributed to
different factors, one of which being that it can be difficult to determine
counterfeit listings from legitimate ones. Marketplaces like Amazon have
reportedly been reticent to share information about how they detect
counterfeits, creating knowledge gaps that prevent crackdowns on fake listings.
The demand for next-day delivery is also creating new opportunities for
counterfeit sellers. Many online marketplaces are starting to see significant
issues arise from this. Amazon is among them, struggling to prevent
counterfeiters from taking over existing listings, falsifying reviews or finding
other ways to distribute their goods on the site.
Solving the Counterfeit Problem for Online Marketplaces
Marketplaces that wish to significantly decrease counterfeit activity will need
to work closely with government agencies and consumers, said Gianopoulos. The
latter need to be vigilant and report counterfeit products when they encounter
them, and consumers should also ensure that everything from the marketplace to
the payment method is safe and secure.

Amazon Workers Pressure Jeff Bezos to Make Online Shopping More Environmentally
Friendly; Demanding Zero Carbon Emissions by 2030
Amazon undoubtedly has a massive climate footprint: It sells and delivers more
than 10 million items daily to Prime members alone. It controls nearly half of
all U.S. e-commerce, and 5% of the entire retail market. That makes Amazon’s
choices uniquely important, especially as e-commerce continues to grow.
Miguel Jaller, co-director of the Sustainable Freight Research Center at the
University of California at Davis, says Amazon’s size gives it a unique
responsibility for the overall sustainability of online shopping. “Whatever they
do, either good or bad, will have a huge impact in the overall system.”
Amazon has already committed to making half of its shipments carbon neutral by
2030. But for the 1,400 employees who now say they'll join the walkout, that’s
not good enough – they’re demanding that Amazon aim for zero emissions across
the business by 2030.

Fontana, CA: Two arrested in connection to a National Fraud Case; $900,000 in
merchandise / gift cards seized
The investigation began on Sept. 4, when a male victim received a “cold call”
from a scammer impersonating the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The caller
threatened to arrest the victim if he didn’t pay the caller $2,200 worth of
Target gift cards. The unsuspecting victim purchased the gift cards, furnished
them to the caller, and later reported the incident to the Fontana P.D. Fontana
detectives tracked the redemption of the cards to a Target store in in the Los
Angeles area. Detectives and Target’s loss prevention team worked together to
locate surveillance video of the transactions. The detectives worked extensive
leads and were able to identify two suspects, identified as Ailing Lu, 25, of
Los Angeles and Ji Hyun Lee, 25, of Gardena, according to police. They conducted
surveillance on suspected locations and vehicles in the Los Angeles area.
Detectives stopped several vehicles during the surveillance and located items
purchased with the gift cards. Detectives then served search warrants on two
locations and located about $900,000 in new goods, including electronics, gift
cards and other items purchased with gift cards from unsuspecting victims.

Ocala, FL: 2 men arrested for stealing $16,000 of ‘Magic’ cards from gaming
stores
Two men who law enforcement officials said burglarized gaming stores in multiple
places, including Ocala and Gainesville, have been arrested for allegedly
stealing pricey cards worth thousands of dollars. According to Detective Michael
Coughlin of the Ocala Police, when Pasco County Sheriff’s Office deputies and a
Gainesville Police detective served a search warrant at the homes of both Ronald
Christopher Hasty and Daniel David Grant in New Port Richey, they recovered what
was described as “tens of thousands of dollars worth of magic cards, magic
related items and approximately $10,000 in cash.” From Hasty’s residence,
officials found multiple masks. One mask discovered matched the one used in the
burglary of Goblin King Game store in Ocala. Goblin King Game store was
burglarized three times, Ocala police officials said. The burglaries occurred
June 2 and 10 and Aug. 10, Ocala detectives said. In the burglaries, more than
$16,000 worth of “Magic: The Gathering” gaming cards were stolen, the detectives
said. Damages to the store in all three break-ins were close to $4,000,
authorities said.

shop
Two more men have been arrested and charged with second degree murder in
connection to a robbery at a Bradenton smoke shop. James Brewer, 19, and Michael
Hepner, 21, were taken into custody Friday for the murder of 23-year-old
Mohammed Hamed. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office says on Tuesday around 11pm,
Brewer was driven to the Green Galaxy Smoke Shop by Hepner and entered the store
in an attempt to distract Hamed. Deputies say a short time later, Amado Zeppi
and a fourth suspect exited the same vehicle and entered the store armed with an
SKS rifle and a bayonet with their faces covered. After entering the store,
deputies say Brewer fled out the front door and got back in the car with Hepner.
The sheriff’s office says Zeppi and the fourth suspect ordered Hamed to go into
the back of the store and open a safe. Deputies say they packed a bag full of
items and the fourth suspect exited through the back of the store. They say
Zeppi continued to point his weapon at Hamed and then, unprovoked, swung the
firearm hitting Hamed with the bayonet end. That’s when deputies say the weapon
went off, killing Hamed.

While most people try to avoid risk and corporate America actually labels it to
be avoided at all cost ultimately life is filled with it. Risk taking is
something everyone is faced with and without it life would become somewhat
stagnate. Taking a risk once in a while is a healthy thing. It pushes people to
do sometimes their most creative work and reach new levels. The problem becomes
the fear of risk and hesitation. It seems like our society has become so risk
avoidance driven that people are applauded for not taking it. When in actuality
it is those who take risk that pave the road for all others to travel. As Joseph
Campbell, a famous American mythologist once said, it is the darkest path in the
woods that holds the most treasure. Next time you're faced with taking a risk
give it some thought who knows your career may take off!
Just a Thought,
Gus
