8:30 am – 9:45 am Kickoff and Keynote: Safety Management System
Great safety performance comes from a great safety process. It is not hit or miss; it is strategic, it is deliberate, it’s repeatable and it’s sustainable. The Safety Management System provides you the components that every successful program has benefited from. The Safety Management System is a comprehensive model to communicate to the organization strategic direction, big picture where we are going and why, it will help you gain budget, resources, and buy in from every level within the company.

8:30 am – 9:45 am Building Systemic Culture: Applying HP Principles During Trying Times

Electric power organizations have high risk work activities that require robust safety standards. Electric power regulatory and consensus standards play an important role in the design and application of robust safety standards within your organization. Sometimes these standards are hard to read and interpret so they may not be used to their full value. This session will identify types of electric power standards and give best methods on how to develop and apply the standards.Pam Tompkins, CUSP, CSP, CUSA and Matt Edmonds, CUSP, CIT, CHST 1:30 pm – 2:45 pm Hiring Safe Contractors
Leading companies recognize that cultivating a safety and risk management culture is critical, not just internally but also across their contractor workforce. A strong contractor risk management program, driven down to the worker level, can help prevent worker injuries, protect company reputation, support compliance with increasingly complex government regulations, and avoid unnecessary loss. Three key drivers influence a company’s position along the maturity model continuum: culture, technology and data. Attend this session by Erik Menard to learn more!Erik Menard 3:30 pm – 4:45 pm Roundtable: Open Discussion
