What: 7 Habits of Highly Effective Safety Professionals When: September 17, 2024 2:30PM - 3:30PM local time Where: Room 306AB The Big Idea: Our profession is going through the single greatest season of change and transition we’ve ever seen. We’ve got HOP and (still) BBS, SIFs and pSIFs, Total Worker Health, Psychological Safety (in addition to physical of course). STCKY, HECA and the Energy Wheel, AI and Machine Learning. Those still committed to identifying a singular root cause. While others have evolved. And around each corner new hazards and risks along with new technology and terminology. So, things are changing fast. But, one thing that will not change, is the necessity for us to continue evolving. Personally and professionally. Individually and collectively. Our ability to send workers NOT in the same condition as they came. But to send workers home better than they came. That’s the game we’re being called to play. But it won’t happen solely through motivation. Because, if our actions are determined by our feelings, we’re in trouble. Nor will it happen simply through behavioral modification. We’ve tried that, for decades. And it worked, until it didn’t. Moving forward, we’re aiming for healthy habit formation. For us and our teams. Habits related to controls and capacity. Employee and executive engagement. Strategy integrated into our systems. The courage to coach. Coupled with the humility to be coached. All while being open to unlearning some things we thought we knew. While aiming to prevent those incidents that cause the greatest human and organizational suffering. So what we’ve done, after more than a decade of qualitative research, from the front line to the front office. Including than 300 interviews with some of the highest performing safety and operational leaders. Is distilled that research down into 7 habits. 7 habits you can deploy today, to advance worker safety and health. And, like I said, send workers home not in the same condition. To send them home BETTER than they came. Join us tomorrow, so collectively we can do just that.

National Safe Work Month October is (among many other “official” months) National Safe Work month.   As we work through this important month, let's take a moment to reflect on the significance of workplace safety. Every worker deserves a safe environment where they can thrive without fear of injury or harm. This month, let’s all prioritize: Awareness: Share resources and information to help colleagues recognize potential hazards. Winter is fast approaching, reminders about safe cold-weather practices are essential. Training: Ensure everyone is equipped with the skills and knowledge to stay safe on the job. If you don’t have a comprehensive safety-training program, this is a good time to create one. Here’s a good guide from OSHA: https://lnkd.in/gcJsvinM Communication: Foster an open dialogue about safety concerns and improvements. People must know that they have stop-work authority to address safety concerns. Follow Up: Don’t just give a lecture, get everyone involved. Each person should take a safety tour once a month, have your safety professional teach them what to look for. Together, we can create a culture of safety that not only protects our teams but also enhances productivity and morale. Let’s make safety a priority, not just this month, but all year round! #NationalSafeWorkMonth #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyFirst #HealthAndWellness #TeamCulture
