| Description: |
Few organizations are satisfied with their safety cultures. And many who work hard to instill a strong safety culture wonder why it is such a difficult and frustrating task. But research and experience show that there are certain key attributes an organization must have to achieve a successful safety culture. By implementing programs to build these attributes, you can not only achieve a better safety culture, you can attain what many view as the ultimate goal – an employee driven safety program.
Join us when our safety experts discuss what motivates people to take risks (or conversely, to avoid them), how to change employee attitudes about safety, and how to actually achieve an employee driven safety program.
To give a practical demonstration these concepts, our expert panelists will use a case study of an initiative to encourage employees to take ownership of an ergonomics program at a union-based manufacturing plant.
You’ll learn:- What motivates employees to take risks – or avoid them
- Key attributes an organization needs to achieve a world-class safety culture
- How some managers unintentionally undermine the safety program
- How to assess an organization’s safety culture—and what to fix first if there are problems
- Practical tips to engage employees in safety
- How to move step by step to an employee-driven program

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
