Not all safety systems are created equal — but you already knew that.

At the core of every effective system is a significant goal: No lives lost. No lives changed. That’s the real meaning of the journey to zero harm and why systems that work for people are more important than ever! In this fireside chat, Brad and Nelson explore the often-overlooked human aspect of safety tracking systems. While most systems are designed to meet regulatory requirements, the ones that truly make a difference are informal, behavioral, and people-centric systems that influence daily decisions. This session will delve into how systems can be designed to capture data, raise awareness, and enhance safety for your team members.

Drawing on hard-won lessons and real-world examples, discover what happens when systems are built with people in mind, rather than focusing solely on regulatory paperwork. Whether you're starting from scratch or building on your existing framework, this fireside chat invites you to share stories, ask questions, and partake in a conversation that values progress over perfection, people over process, and may even introduce a few curveballs along the way. This conversation is for the curious and the committed—if you're building or transforming a safety system, or simply contemplating where to start, you don’t want to miss this.
