Building a Lasting Culture of Safety

Safety is a priority for everyone. No one intends to end their workday in the emergency room - even doctors don't want to be rushed there on a stretcher. However, it's easy to become overly confident and presume that nothing will go wrong just because it hasn't happened yet. It's equally easy to fall into unsafe work habits when those around us are doing the same.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Safety is a priority for everyone. No one intends to end their workday in the emergency room – even doctors don’t want to be rushed there on a stretcher. However, it’s easy to become overly confident and presume that nothing will go wrong just because it hasn’t happened yet. It’s equally easy to fall into unsafe work habits when those around us are doing the same.

This is why we created the Building a Lasting Culture of Safety video series. It’s crafted to assist you in emphasizing the importance of safety not only to your specific employees but also to their colleagues, families, and friends. Anticipating problems and behaving as though something could go wrong doesn’t mean you’re more likely to make a mistake, but it does mean you’ll be less likely to get injured if something does go wrong.

That doesn’t mean that our Building a Lasting Culture of Safety video series is dull. Although creating a safe work environment is serious, it doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun while discussing it. So we’ve filled these videos with plenty of humor to help keep you engaged. We don’t want you to die any more than you do, and it wouldn’t be a good look on us if you accidentally died of boredom.

So, prepare to be entertained by our Building a Lasting Culture of Safety series. Because at The Jeff Havens Company, we offer serious solutions with a twist of humor.
