For years, safety leaders have been challenged with the goal of zero injuries. Millions of dollars have been spent by leading firms in search of zero, the “Holy Grail” of safety. Many of these efforts have proved beneficial. Yet, many others must be questioned. Some of the finest safety cultures meet the goal of zero, only to find that a tragic event shatters zero, leaving it a hollow memory. Why does this happen? Is zero really the right goal, or is there a better one that will drive continuous safety improvement? Learn what lies Beyond Zero, and how this is the goal your culture must strive for to not only survive, but thrive, in today’s competitive landscape.
