Getting Safety Right - First Prevent Serious and Fatal Injuries

November 7th 2019 at11:00 am EST
Companies in every industry implement many initiatives to improve safety results. Too often, those initiatives are aimed at the most frequent injuries and miss the injuries that are most severe – serious injuries & fatalities (SIF’s). Join an informative webinar to learn about how the Henrich Triangle from the 1930’s is no longer an accurate predictor of injury severity. Learn how to evaluate your SIF Prevention maturity and what you can do to improve your process. Management’s credibility hinges largely on what your employees perceive as the organization’s commitment to SIF prevention.
