Educational Session | Our Brains on ‘Safety’: What We’re Learning About Better Safety Communications and Why It Matters in Today’s Workforce
Sponsored by: Avetta
While we can all agree on the moral imperative that ‘no one gets hurt today’, the corporate safety messaging we often hear falls flat and is disconnected from the reality of work as experienced at the worker level. Additional complexities, such as the increasing use of contract and temporary workers, also add layers of potential disconnection around critical safety issues between those assuming the greatest risk (the workers!) and those in a position to provide the resources and tools for workers to best manage those risks (leadership).
In this interesting and in-depth conversation, Scott DeBow, CSP, ARM, Principal of Health/Safety & Environmental, Avetta, explains how neuroscience is teaching us better workforce communications, the strengths and weaknesses of our formal, traditional safety communications and how a systems-based approach to improving communications in our modern workforce better directs our collective focus to prevent Serious Injuries & Fatalities while driving continuous improvement.
