Quit Feeding the Monsters
August 25 – 10:30am to 11:30am
What “monsters” terrorize your company and negatively affect safety and production? Chances are they are quite common—policies, procedures and engineering controls are essential elements of a safety management system but you’ll never achieve world-class safety until you stop feeding these “monsters.”

Complacency plays a significant role in the majority of injuries. Learn what you and your organization can do to efficiently minimize the effects of complacency in your workplace.
