Create a Winning Safety Culture

A Road Map to Go from Compliance to Commitment

(3-Hr, in-person, Williamsport, PA)

This program starts in:

A great safety culture is when effort goes beyond mere compliance and becomes commitment. Compliance is what we do because we must – Commitment is what we do because we want to. Even with formal programs in place, manufacturers often struggle to get the outcomes they desire. Good leaders want to make an impact on their safety culture but often aren’t sure how to do it. They need a road map.

This approach is the opposite of a “Safety Cop” culture. It is designed for manufacturers who do not have a full-time safety manager, leaders who want to invigorate their existing programs, new managers responsible for safety, and companies who know they can do better with making safety a bigger part of their culture. It provides a proven path for leading your company to a healthy safety culture.

Safety in the workplace is a must if you want your employees to be productive and your company profitable.  Injuries and illnesses caused by unsafe acts and unsafe conditions are likely to happen when training, written programs and procedures are not planned and implemented.

This 10-hr OSHA Outreach Training for General Industry program focuses on SAFE management principles that can make your company both compliant with OSHA and a safe place to work. Schedule is May 14 (7:00 am – 3:00 pm) and May 15 (7:00 am – 9:30 am).

During the training, you will learn the three main elements in any successful safety program. For example, do you know which OSHA rules require annual training? Which OSHA regulations require written programs? Do you know how to provide forklift training? How are scissor lifts regulated? Did you know that a lost time burn injury is estimated to cost you more than $57,000? Or that the OSHA penalties just went up – A LOT – for the first time since the 1990s? Citations can cost you from several hundred to quite a few thousand dollars each – all avoidable by taking simple steps in a sustainable safety program.

Each attendee will receive a certificate of completion and the OSHA 10-hour Card from OSHA.
