Change the way that your workers see the consequences of not working safely!

How do we move supervisors and their workers away from this flawed thinking? 

Is the date for your Safety Audit looming on your calendar? Are you wondering “How will I ever get everything ready in time? There is just so much for the safety team to stay on top of on a daily basis. How can I be sure that things aren’t missed?”

Does your company struggle when skilled members of the team leave or retire? What can you do to help pass on this information? The answer is to develop your young & new employees training program so that they are set up for success when they join your team.

Workplace incidents are traumatic and stressful events. The workers involved often are panicked, scared, and don't know what to do.

Safety programs require Safety Professionals to investigate incidents, review findings with their teams, and discuss how and what they need to improve to stop the events from happening again. You are also required to audit other people's work, and determine what has been done well and what needs to be corrected. All while ensuring compliance with OSHA and OH&S requirements.  Do you spend most of your time discussing what has gone wrong?
