Workplace Safety Disasters –
Why They Keep Happening

Could injuries, accidents, and workers’ comp claims put you out of business?

Consider that businesses spend $170 billion a year on workplace injuries and illnesses.

Now consider that safety programs have been proven to reduce those costs by 20-40% on average.

That’s a big chunk of money. That amount could mean the difference between a viable, thriving, successful company and a company that is just squeaking by – or worse, one that has to close its doors.

Traditional, time-honored safety programs that focus on safety equipment training and standard protocols to deal with workplace hazards do work – to a degree.

But accidents and injuries continue to happen despite safety training, and that’s because traditional safety programs are missing one vital, complimentary component – they fail to take individual personalities into account.

This groundbreaking, scientifically-based and accredited safety training session picks up where traditional safety training leaves off, identifying gaps in the current safety paradigm and looking at the scientific link between safety-related behaviors and individual personality characteristics.

How do you account for the individual – that most variable of variables in the safety equation? What role do individuals play in practicing safe behaviors? Explore how you can create a culture of self-awareness and safety engagement on 3 levels: employee, managerial, and company-wide.

Employees who are not engaged in their jobs aren’t likely to be engaged in safe work practices either. Get employees engaged. Get them motivated. Create an environment of personal responsibility and of acceptance of safety practices and habits. Sign up today for this one-of-a-kind safety training session that’s chock full of new ideas for saving lives and injuries – and saving money to your bottom line.
