Habit Forming Safety Training

Wednesday, November 10th, 2021 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

The habit of safety is the elusive “common sense” that safety professionals chase. We say it doesn’t exist, but we can influence its existence in training settings. Once The Safety Habit is built or discovered, no one can take it away from you or the person you have impacted.

This session is your chance to learn from a practical, creative, and influential safety professional and receive encouragement to listen to your own internal voice and learn strategies to help workers cultivate their own safety habits through training.
