“How We Can Eliminate Preventable Deaths in Our Lifetime” Deborah Hersman
President & CEO, National Safety Council (NSC) In her keynote address, renowned safety expert Deborah Hersman will share her insights on safety leadership, major trends in workplace injuries, and changes on the horizon that will make the National Safety Council’s goal of eliminating preventable deaths in our lifetime possible. Drawing from her experience as the former Chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, and as the current President & CEO of the National Safety Council, Deborah will share data, knowledge, and inspiration to remind everyone of the paramount value of safety at work, home, in our communities, and on the road.
Wednesday, April 12, 2017 | 8:20 – 9:15 a.m. Opening Keynote Speaker
“Safe 4 the Right Reasons” Dale Lesinski Vice President, QSSP, DiVal Safety Creating a positive safety culture is both an art and a science! The science addresses all of the regulations, compliance and engineering; most companies have this covered. The art side, or what we refer to as “the thin air” or human side of the equation, can be the greatest challenge for companies to conquer. “Safe 4 the Right Reasons” breaks down our basic human nature and delivers a personal motivation for each employee to value their safety. This message also addresses how we must watch out for each other and be our brother’s keeper. The best part of the message is that it is personal for every employee and can be incorporated into all of your safety messages and trainings. It will serve as the foundation of your safety culture for years to come.
