How to Change Negative Attitudes That Jeopardize Worker Safety
|
Internationally renowned safety expert E. Scott Geller will explain what it takes to create a workforce that “thinks safety” both on the job and off. He’ll explain why a lot of common-sense notions may be hurting your safety efforts. For example:
- Why the assumption that “attitude determines behavior” is a half-truth and not particularly useful as a framework for injury-prevention strategies.
- Why trying to motivate people using group statistics such as “recordable injury rates” and “workers comp costs” can be counterproductive.
- Why terms such as “behavior modification,” “loss control” and “compliance training” are failure-oriented and de-motivate employees.
Dr. Geller will also reveal the “secret” to genuinely changing the attitudes that lead to accidents and injuries – and cost both your company and your employees dearly.
