SESSION: Safety Leadership Belongs at the Top
Kirk's theory and experience will introduce a different perspective towards the safety first thought process. It takes each component of the specific actions of people required in safety leadership and couples it to the four business goals of profitability, achieving margins, taking care of costs and competitiveness. It is about not accepting risk as it presents itself but rather managing it to the lowest achievable level no matter what position you hold in your organization.
True risk management to zero harm is not just a catch phrase but rather an obligation of each employee. It always happens by choice and employees need the tools to be able to manage risk in the workplace. This conversation helps them get those tools.
