About this event
“Safety is the right thing to do” may make an OK slogan or a bland bumper sticker, but why are we surprised when management doesn't run with your safety committee’s recommendation? Communicating safety to management is more than just words; we can affect the overall safety culture (either for the positive or negative). This workshop shares other methods of selling safety to management to cultivate a better overall safety culture.
