Balance Metrics and Improve Outcomes
Competing priorities in Safety can lead to an imbalance of outcomes. With limited time and budget, knowing which areas to focus on is critical. This session will use guiding principles from the new ANSI/ASSP Z16.1-2022 standard to show a balanced approach to managing complex safety systems.
Essential Personal Attributes for Safety Professionals
Safety training tends to focus on teaching workers how to follow compliance rules. We often overlook how to get workers to believe in the value of following the rules. This session will explain how three soft skills can help safety professionals win the hearts and minds of workers and dramatically boost compliance rates.
The Value of Venting: Encouraging Feedback to Improve Safety Outcomes
Continuous safety improvements are only possible through constant feedback. Employees can provide invaluable feedback on the gaps in your SMS, but only if they feel safe and empowered. In this session, we will examine the impact of psychological safety and supervisor communication skills on safety outcomes. In addition, Tim will introduce a human factors framework that will help organizations learn how the human and technical systems connect to produce more reliable outcomes.
Humor in Safety…
Have your safety presentations become drab and dreary? Spruce them up with a bit of humor! This popular conference session is backed by popular demand, with new ideas, analogies, and technologies to help you increase employee engagement and retention. We all know that Safety is a serious topic, but we can learn how to make safety training exciting and fun!
Humor in Safety
Let’s face it, safety presentations can be dull, yawn-inducing torture. Humor in Safety provides techniques to make safety training more engaging with tips like how to relate yourself and the training topic to the audience, the importance of storytelling and when to use humor to achieve learning objectives.
Tim, your presentation was the best one I attended. You really have an art of captivating an audience and making them laugh. Great job!
