Creating and Maintaining a World-Class Safety Culture

How can you prevent incidents that cause personal injury or worse?
What can you do to foster a safety culture?
When was the last time you conducted a safety assessment?

In this 1-1/2 hour seminar, business owners, managers, and front-line supervisors will learn the importance of creating a mindset in your organization that all incidents are preventable, all employees must continuously work toward injury prevention, and, most importantly, that everyone is accountable for safety.

At this seminar, you will learn:

• the direct and indirect costs of injuries and how they affect your company's bottom-line
• techniques that help you "stop the bleeding"

Upon completion you will know how to:

• effectively communicate
• positively motivate people
• create effective, cross-functional teams
