Session Descriptions

Who Pushed Autopilot?
Mark D. Norton, MAOM, RSP, CSSM, Norton Safety Services, LLC.
NortonSafetySvc@aol.com
 
Organizations can find themselves running on “autopilot”, shaping or reshaping behaviors and beliefs, often, in a negative way and without even knowing it. This practice increases the potential for organizational breakdowns, leading to a dysfunctional safety management system. When new situations arise, opportunities for improvement go unnoticed, leadership roles are not clear and employees remain confused, fostering ineffective communication. Organizational safety cultures struggle to hit maximum potential, because they are working from a position of minimal input.
 
Safety Culture: What is it, how do we know where we are, and how do we improve it?
Soren Bjerregaard, CSP, MBA; Ben McCormack, CSP

Written safety programs, policies, procedures and employee training is required by rule. They help to ensure a safe work environment. Having a strong safety culture is not required by rules but is a critical component of any effective safety program. Safety culture is a concept that can be difficult to understand and apply. During this workshop we will discuss safety culture as well as how to assess and improve it at your own workplace.
Learning objectives:
After the training participants will be able to:
  • List and describe key features of a strong safety culture.
  • Analyze your own organization to determine where you are.
  • Propose and evaluate corrective measures.
