Safety Performance and Why It Matters

Improving safety performance is a team effort that is based on data that easily can be monitored and measured to prioritize where safety programs can have the most impact.  When it comes to improving performance in Health and Safety, organizations must leverage their most important asset – their tools and data – to improve future H&S performance.

Better tools and processes give workers the power to improve their performance through data-driven decision-making and enhanced situational awareness. The result is stronger EHSQ practice that drives improved overall business results and revenue. Tomorrow’s businesses will rest on a strong foundation consisting of rigorous EHSQ performance, singular dedication to customer satisfaction, and a passion for innovation.

Important reasons to improve data collection and analysis to enhance Health & Safety performance include:

  1. Predict workplace injuries
  2. Monitor and benchmark safety culture
  3. Improve compliance
  4. Tie safety to productivity

Managing Exposure Risks with Innovative Technology: Answering Questions You Were Too Afraid To Ask

Organizations like yours employ EHS professionals to help keep front-line employees safe from harmful workplace exposure. But to do this successfully, you need to accurately identify hazards that put your employees at risk.  With technology, instead of having a few EHS professionals identifying hazards and managing risk for thousands of employees, companies can turn to their employees for help. As your first line of defense and best access to hazards and potential risk visibility, your employees should be empowered to help your EHS professionals source exposure hazards across your company. With recent advancements, you can now make that process much easier than ever before.

During this webinar, you will learn how to:

  • Implement different methods for your front-line employees to report exposure risks
  • Empower employees with innovative technology like wearables, IoT, big data, and more
  • Elevate exposure risk management as a key pillar in holistic employee well-being

Adopting Principles of World-Class Manufacturing to Drive EHS Excellence
