What kills and injures more people: lack of compliance or complacency?  This session will show you that even when people are compliant with the procedures, are aware of the hazards, and know the PPE requirement, injuries still occur.  All acute injuries have at least 3 contributing factors: a source of danger, a person and something unexpected also has to happen.  In the majority of injuries, complacency plays a significant part.  Complacency makes it easier for people to take their eyes and mind off task.  Not watching what you’re doing and not thinking about what you’re doing can easily lead to product damage, minor injuries and major injuries.

Learn what you and your company can do to efficiently minimize the effects of complacency in your workplace.  Don will introduce you to 4 simple techniques that are easy to implement and have been proven to reduce injuries significantly not only on the job, but at home and on the road as well.
