The IOHRM program is pleased to announce its second Appalachian State University Summit on Behavioral Safety. The mission of the Appalachian Safety Summit is to bring internationally recognized experts in behavioral safety to North Carolina. The Summit will cover topics where attendees will learn numerous perspectives on building a safety culture that prevents injuries, including:
- How Actively Caring influences your safety culture
- Cutting-edge behavioral approaches to Hazard Recognition
- Motivating safe behaviors of your employees
- Creating state-of-the-art Safety Culture surveys
- How analytics can be used with safety measures to target improvement efforts
- The power of engaging your workforce safety
- Behavior-Based Safety basics
- How to get your supervisory staff involved in safety efforts
- Strategies for your Safety Culture Change
The Summit is still currently under development, but will feature guest speakers, Dr. E. Scott Geller of Virginia Tech, and our own Dr. Timothy Ludwig. Dr. E. Scott Geller, a speaker at the previous Safety Summit, will once again bring his knowledge and expertise on how Actively Caring has led to positive safety culture changes around the world. Dr. Timothy Ludwig, whose website Safety-Doc.com, will again host the Summit and invite more top experts from academics, government, and industry. Additionally, this Summit will feature smaller breakout session where it will be possible to dig deeper into the ideas and strategies that interest attendees. Tentatively, the Summit is planned for May/June 2016 but is subject to change. As the Summit planning continues, we look forward to keeping you up-to-date on significant additions and changes.
Timothy Ludwig
