Webinar: Mitigating Safety Risk Throughout Your Supply Chain

Every company’s supply chain is critical to maintain production and ultimately the success of the company. Companies that fail to work with their vendors, suppliers and contractors (supply chain) to identify, detect, monitor and mitigate their safety and health issues, risk the real potential of interruption of the supply chain’s ability to provide the contracted services or goods. The result is the loss of business and profitability for the company as a result of the company’s inability to meet the demands and requirements of their clients because of the supply chain default.

This program will examine how companies can work with their supply chain to identify, detect, monitor and mitigate safety and health risks which could cause disruption of services and products to the company. The program will also discuss how to focus on supplier risk management in order to collect, analyze and manage the safety and health supply chain. Also, there will be an examination of the supplier performance information to identify red flags within each vendor, supplier and contractor. Finally, the program will discuss how focusing on these issues will lower our supply chain risk while improving productivity and profitability of the company.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding how your company’s supply chain impacts its ability to meet your client’s needs;
• How to gather the data and information from your supply chain in order to identify potential safety and health risks;
• How to help your supply chain members understand how failure to identify and mitigate safety and health risk will impact the continued success of their companies and;
• How to assist your supply chain member in developing the policies and procedures to address identified risks and follow-up to ensure the identified risks have been addressed.
