Greetings, recorded this on the road in Ottawa, Illinois. The topic this week is about an upcoming webinar scheduled for 07 May 2010 titled, Three-Step Model to Safety Coaching

 

http://www.proactsafety.com/webseminars 

 

“When the leaders don’t lead, the followers don’t follow.” This is especially true in safety. Managers and supervisors play a critical role in the safety efforts of most organizations. Their impact on safety can be tremendous, regardless of their involvement. If properly aligned with organizational goals and taught the skills to be effective performance coaches (and most importantly, safety coaches), not only will it greatly enhance their ability to coach safe behavior in workers, but it also increases productivity, quality, and many other areas of performance.

 

Based on the most effective strategies and successful projects in the industry, this webinar will provide the details of the Three-Step Model for Safety Coaching, and reiterate the principles needed to be an effective coach.

 

I hope you are able to join us!

Greetings everyone, recorded this podcast on the road in Syracuse, New York.  For the topic this week I’d like to share with you an article (Understanding Influences on Risks: A Four-Part Model) that Terry Mathis and I wrote, and had published, in the February 2010 edition of EHS Today Magazine.

I hope you enjoy, have a great week, and keep safe!

Greetings everyone recorded this on the road in Santa Fe Springs, California. The topic this week is about an upcoming webinar, scheduled for 02 April 2010 titled, Customizing Your Own Safety Perception Survey.

 

http://www.proactsafety.com/webseminars

 

A safety culture is made up of common practices, attitudes, and perceptions of risks that influence behavioral choices both at work and away from work. To begin to understand your safety culture, it is critical to recognize the current perceptions that exist within your organization, and the conditioning affect they will have on new employees. 

 

There are standard perception surveys available; however, a one-size approach to understanding safety perceptions is never as effective as a customized approach. The webinar will outline the steps critical for you to internally design, administer, and interpret a customized safety perception survey.

 

I hope you are able to join us!
