Best practices are not a one-size-fits-all approach but when it comes to safety, they are often applicable across many different industries. Learn what other companies are doing to ensure success in their implementations of SafeStart’s suite of processes and what leading indicators they are monitoring to provide an accurate measurement of their progress. One major factor in a successful integration is weaving the SafeStart concepts and principles into the overall safety management system. Learn how to successfully integrate into the company culture and hear specific recommendations for gaining more involvement, buy-in, and support throughout the organization. There’s nothing better than a first-hand recommendation of what works—especially when it comes to training.

So many efforts within organizational safety management can be around messaging and meeting tactical objectives such as training. While these are important efforts, actual safety and safe behavior are much more of an “in the moment” matter of decision-making in work environment realities and require a proactive program implemented from the bottom up. Focusing on worker behavior rather than waiting for problems to occur can help change the safety climate within the organization. Participants will be part of the discussion with David who observed this reality for years, including the tactical efforts made that often don’t fully “hit the mark.” Participants will also come away with practical tools and approaches used to successfully flip a safety culture.
