Beyond Compliance: Breaking Through to the Next Level of SH&E Excellence
Webinar - Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 11am-12:30pm CST
You’ve worked long and hard and achieved compliance for SH&E requirements with the commitment and support of all levels of employees! It’s time to celebrate!
Or is it? Now is when the really hard work begins.
With Michael Topf as your virtual classroom guide, you’ll explore the primary factors that cause incidents to occur even after compliance requirements are met - and learn what’s needed to break through to the next level of excellence. You’ll learn to move beyond compliance to a level of pro-activity that keeps all employees interested and motivated to maintain SH&E excellence. How to insure that this commitment to excellence is held as a personal value and is demonstrated in the attitudes and behaviors of all levels of employees to prevent incidents both on and off the job will also be covered.
This session will identify and describe the key components required to create breakthroughs in SH&E performance. We will explore and understand how an organizations’ culture and the unsafe attitudes and behaviors of all levels of employees impact performance in these areas.
This virtual class will take place on Wednesday – March 19th, from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM (CST).
