No one leaves home in the morning thinking that this is the day that they will be maimed, or die, in a workplace event. No manager, no CEO, no safety regulator knows where and when disaster will strike. Yet workplace accidents do occur—tragically all too often.

Productivity shortcuts often have no experienced compromise of safety. That is why a logger, for example, can bring down dozens, even thousands, of trees and all the while employing shortcuts. This “success” reinforces unsafe behaviors. This workshop exposes these shortcuts and deeply explores their consequences—injury, death, property loss, criminal investigations and more.

See for the first time how the level of perceived safety is almost always well below true safe work performance. Learn to have a pervasive safe work system.

Nearly every business has Risk Tolerance Thresholds that are unseen and yet present everyday in the workplace. This workshop provides a whole new perspective on risk.

The overarching goal of any program is to create capacity to manage risk effectively. Learn a singular system—complementary to any existing safety programming—to objectively change overall safety performance of your operations.

Once implemented this system creates a thorough risk profile of an organization’s entire business process.  Using this program provides a legal and moral foundation to defend your company’s due diligence.

Safety really can be “Job One”!  

Many senior leaders, front-line supervisors, safety officers, and union representatives come to their roles because they are experts in their subject matter, but safety leadership requires much more than job-specific skills. This training de-emphasizes what we individually know and instead asks us who we are.  

Find out how corporate cultures are open to positive change. Leverage personal integrity to bring creativity, reduced disability and superior safety outcomes in your workplace.  

Trust is an essential component to effective organization cultures. There is no single mechanism to create trust other than to behave with integrity. Words, slogans, images and procedures can never take the place of action. Pairing this information with clips from Hollywood films, learners discover how people naturally adjust their actions and cooperate with others when they are in cultures of high integrity.  

Men and women who influence the behaviour of staff will learn a mindset that shifts them from overseers of business processes to genuine role models—seeing the big picture, articulating the direction, and embracing their team in a collaborative and committed mission. Transformative organizational change occurs when workers walk the talk, operating with emotional intelligence and profound personal integrity.

This training creates a lump in the throat as people question how they show up at work. The question that arises is “Am I bringing my best self?”  

Can you look to examples of companies with excellent programs on paper and persistently disastrous safety outcomes? This talk powerfully changes perspective on what a good program looks like. Safety compliance is alluringly attractive but falls well short of real safety culture.  

This inspirational discussion moves safety culture from a theoretical goal to a case study of a company that did the work and made the transformation. No less than genuine cultural transformation is available. See the potential in your own workplace. Imagine a workplace where each staff member volunteers their hearts and minds, not merely the labour of their bodies. 

Culture is found in the conversation: the basic human relationships that form the context in which work is done. This training shows exactly how companies can move from good in theory to good in practice. Based on real life work, we see how culture can be practically changed. We learn step by step, a complete approach to changing the human-to-human dynamic in a workplace setting.  

Funny, dramatic and, at the same time, do-able! Learners will walk away with a whole new concept of what constitutes a culture of pervasive safety! 

Men and women—all of us—are busier than ever. We are constantly considering our to-do lists, our relationships, our future worries and our past challenges. Combine this constant mental chatter with the perils of routine, repetitive work tasks and you have a recipe for disaster. The best safety systems have little application if workers are distracted and unfocused as they do their work. 

The secret weapon against distractions from safety is mindfulness. Mindfulness is as important for your brain as exercise and nutrition are for your body. To be mindful is to be fully present with what is actually happening in the moment. Do you have to sit cross-legged and learn to silently meditate? No! Everyone can learn shortcuts to being focused, on task and holding distracting thoughts and emotions at a distance. 

Based on real mindfulness programs taught to the hardened, tough industrial workers this training explains how mindfulness can be made a part of every safety program. 

This presentation takes the mystery out of mindfulness. Grounded in science and served as a practical invitation, learn why there is so much excitement about mindfulness.
