1) Chill Out When You’re Stressed Out

What does stress have to do with safety? Everything! Besides sapping energy, stress plays havoc with your senses, shatters attention to detail, and makes people aggressive. People aren’t born with practical skills for keeping their cool, and it’s even tougher to teach someone else how to do it.

2) Create a Vibrant Safety Culture

It’s the job of leaders in your organization to keep everyone engaged on safety issues, yet fatigue, apathy, and life stresses blur employees’ focus and block their attention. For many employees, safety is someone else’s problem, something easily taken for granted. And that’s an attitude that leads to accidents. Richard Hawk’s proven solution? Learn how to leverage the power of personal leadership, sell people on the benefits of your safety program, and keep everyone motivated and inspired. Create a vibrant safety culture that everyone buys in to.

3) The Dangerous Daze

We’ve all heard that human error leads to accidents, but why do people make mistakes when their safety and well-being are on the line? Don’t they realize they’re flirting with disaster? Can’t they see it coming? Well, no, and the reasons are many. But if you knew the specific thought patterns, habits, and behaviors most likely to cause an accident or injury, you’d have a huge opportunity to take action before disaster strikes.

4) Spice It Up!

“Oh, no! Not another boring safety meeting.” Stop torturing your employees with the same old safety “blah, blah, blah”. Why not try something different? Bring new energy to your safety meetings with tips and techniques guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s face. Teaching safe behavior doesn’t have to be bland and boring.
