What three words would you use to describe your organization’s safety training? Do these words energize and inspire you to advocate for safety and health? Or do they feel cold? Does your training create safety “zombies” or safety “heroes”?

But with current workforce challenges, traditional methods such as lectures, videos, and computer-based learning are not impactful, and can often result in a mindless experience. This session will share ten strategies to help organizations go beyond the rituals, breathe life back into safety training, and inspire and energize their teams to be safety heroes.
