When investing in safety training, companies want to get the most out of their investment. One-and-done programs might look good in the short term but to achieve lasting performance improvement, you need to look at all of the different plays required for skill improvement—at an individual and organizational level. Sustainability is about having everyone speak the same language and carry their training through the long term to maximize the company’s investment. This session will provide a playbook for sustaining SafeStart and define the five long-term success factors. Participants will use the playbook to effectively deliver a SafeChat topic, a toolbox talk and learn how to effectively use the between unit activities to successfully sustain the SafeStart process.

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.
