Training and behavior-based safety (BBS) programs haven’t changed much over the past few decades, but the world—and workforce—has. Manufacturers are now operating in a new reality, with a leaner and more diverse workforce that is expected to know and do more than ever before. If employees don’t know the right thing, or do the wrong thing, it can result in incidents that impact employee morale, turnover and your bottom line.

Organizations know they need an effective BBS strategy, but many struggle to implement programs which achieve desired results. Until now…

Join EHS, along with Terry Mathis (Founder & CEO of ProAct Safety) and Carol Leaman (CEO of Axonify) on Wednesday, December 12th from 2 – 3 pm EST as they discuss strategies for taking your BBS program to the next level, such as:

• Building a proactive culture that promotes safety
• Weaving short bursts of daily training into your frontline’s routine to make safe behavior a habit
• Using microlearning to support each phase of BBS

Everyone knows that safety is a business imperative. It helps to keep your people safe and your operations productive and profitable. Not everyone realizes that safety can be a significant driver for business performance. But, in order for safety performance to influence your business performance, you need a strong culture of excellence built on a shared corporate vision—and that requires continuous, organization-wide engagement.

When employees are engaged and working together towards common goals (like safety), it improves organizational culture and, ultimately, elevates business performance. In other words, the relationship between safety, culture, and performance makes an ideal catalyst for improving every area of a business.

Unfortunately, most manufacturers struggle to effectively engage their frontline employees, so safety excellence, organizational culture and business performance suffer.

Join Ryan Hellman (President and CEO of Hellman & Associates) and Carol Leaman (CEO of Axonify) on Friday, November 30th from 2 – 3 pm EDT as they explore:

• How engaging employees on a continuous basis helps build a proactive culture of safety excellence
• Strategies for reducing safety incidents and injuries to improve quality, productivity and profitability
• Real-world examples of organizations that are using safety performance excellence to drive business results

The effectiveness of particular types of safeguards depends in part on the correct positioning of the relevant parts in relation to the danger zone. ISO 13855 primarily defines human approach speeds. These approach speeds need to be considered when designing safety measures and selecting the appropriate sensor technology. Different speeds and sizes are defined, depending on the direction and type of approach. Even an indirect approach is considered.

Viewers will learn:

• Safe distance formulas for different presence sensing devices
• Calculation techniques of stop time
• Application standards used for presence sensing devices
