Free Webinar: It Could Happen Here: 2019 Workplace Disasters and the Risks to Your Organization
Your sponsors:
As safety professionals, we pay close attention to newsworthy workplace disasters. Just this year, 2019 has had many workplace disasters including explosions at refineries, crane collapses, and confined space tragedies. It’s easy to assume that these types of tragic incidents could not occur in your organization – after all, you have a strong safety culture and plenty of policies and procedures and training in place. But the top leaders in your organization may be using outdated metrics like “days without injuries” and in that sense, celebrating complacency. You may witness shortcuts and quick fixes taken by employees and supported by leadership. This proves that there is room for improvement to help mitigate future risks.
Examining these workplace disasters and recognizing the precursors and risk factors that were present can help you convince your organization’s leaders and associates that serious injuries, fatalities, and newsworthy disasters can occur in your organization—and that you need to take proactive steps to prevent them.
