WEBINAR
|
Is safety about achieving success or avoiding failure?
We have defined safety for so long as the lack of accidents that we are
beginning to loose sight of the objective. When accidents go away for a
while is it because of safety success or is it simply luck or normal
variation? This webinar explores what safety might look like rather
than simply the lack of accidents.
Learn the ten signs that safety is at work in your organization and how
to tell if the accidents are responding to your efforts or other
forces.
