Do the phrases “that will never happen to me” or “I’ve been doing this job for 30 years and never been hurt” sound familiar? Do you have people in your organization who are “10 feet tall and bulletproof”? This session, designed to spark critical thinking, will discuss the transition that all employees make from thinking that nothing can hurt them to learning from their mistakes. It will address how to go from thinking we’re “safe enough” to getting the attention of management to address the things that will enhance the safety culture. You’ll walk away with new ideas on how to advance your safety culture by getting people to think differently about their own personal safety.
