Description:

A key issue many organizations face today is how their safety-management systems will protect their employees at all times of the day since the vast majority of injuries and accidental deaths occur outside the workplace. For most companies the cost of off-the-job injuries is higher than on-the-job injuries. The top four categories of injuries today are slips/falls, sprains/strains, cuts/contusions and back injuries. We need to provide our employees skills to increase their awareness and critical error reduction techniques to prevent these types of injuries. In this session, you will learn how to influence people to learn these skills and drastically reduce injuries on and off the job.



Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss why traditional safety management systems will only get you so far on the journey to safety excellence; 2. Recognize the repeated critical errors in virtually all injuries; 3. Describe practical tools you can use every day to reduce injuries on and off the job; and 4. Explain the fundamental business case for improving employee safety 24/7.
