Strategies for Getting Employees to Bring a 'Safety Attitude' to Work Each Day

WHY ATTEND

Since day one of their careers, most of your workers have been encouraged to think “safety first.” As they matured in their jobs, some adopted that message as a way of life while others continue to take shortcuts that put themselves and their co-workers at risk.

This webinar will shed light on what turns people on to safety and what turns them off. You’ll learn what your Safety team can do to change the minds of risk-takers -- and how to use safety-minded employees to encourage a safety culture.
