Can you tie a profitable company to a safe company, all without mentioning any regulating agencies? Let’s bring the humanity back into safety and make it easier for everyone. Running your safety program from a place of fear and defense rarely keeps anyone safer and never makes our jobs any easier. The trap of compliance-driven policies often leads to dry, dictatorial, uninspiring leaders who don’t really teach – or reach – anyone. In this session, we’ll discuss why compliance-driven effort doesn’t mean a safe workplace. You’ll identify aspects of your management style that you can change to make safety about people, not regulations, and learn safety communication techniques to move toward a safer workplace.
