Extending SafeStart Beyond the Workplace
Wed, Oct 21, 2:45 PM to 4:00 PM - Mustang/
Did you know that 85% of medically consulted injuries and 95% of fatalities happen away from work? That’s why capturing employees’ engagement in safety while they’re at work is so important—it carries through into their lives outside of work. This fireside chat invites participants to bring their own examples to fully explore how organizations are successfully expanding SafeStart into a true 24/7 safety approach that influences not only employees, but also their families and the communities they live in. Others looking for ways to achieve 24/7 safety are also welcome to join. Participants will learn how to design and implement meaningful community outreach initiatives that reinforce safety awareness outside of work, creating stronger engagement and a deeper personal connection to safety. The session will also highlight the new Driving SafeStart Home program as a high-impact opportunity to reach the next generation—equipping young drivers with the skills to recognize states and errors, manage distractions, and make better decisions behind the wheel. This immersive session encourages participants to join in the conversation with Don and Char about extending SafeStart beyond the workplace and comparing examples of what's been done to strengthen culture, increase retention of key concepts, and make a lasting difference where it matters most.
