It’s no secret that workers are injured and suffer preventable injury-related deaths at a much higher rate off the job versus while they're at work. And logic would indicate that their friends and family members are hurt a lot outside of work too. Companies often notice the impact of their injured workers but have you ever thought about the impact that the injuries and fatalities of workers’ loved ones—especially children—have on employees? Learn how to make the “heart and mind” connection to reduce the impact of human factors beyond the workplace to not only reduce worker incidents but also improve family safety (when they take safety home), increase worker satisfaction, reduce absenteeism, strengthen recruiting and cause companies to have a more favorable perception in the community.

Safety isn’t a mindset that should be turned on and off. To be effective, safety needs to be a 24/7 strategy that can take all aspects of organizational performance to the next level. But that doesn’t mean this objective is easy. Share your challenges in this interactive session and learn how to help your organization adopt a safety-first mindset. Fewer injuries, increased productivity and an improved bottom line are all results of an organization operating with safety front and center. Do you have experience with evidence-based safety guidance and can identify ways you have engaged employees? Come prepared to share what has worked and what hasn’t worked as participants build confidence in how to make workplace safety the catalyst for greater organizational performance.
