Keynote Breakfast
How Did They Show Up? A Whole Person Approach To Safety
The conference kicks off with a networking breakfast where you will meet fellow attendees while enjoying a delicious, hot breakfast! Individual well-being has a greater impact on personal safety than we realize. Our goal as safety professionals is to keep people safe at work and we do an excellent job at managing the hazards and risks we can see. If humans are performing the work, they will bring with them hazards that we cannot see, and it is impossible to control invisible hazards. We must understand that how people “show up” has a significant impact on their ability to perform work safely. We must create a culture where people understand, own, and feel psychologically safe to talk about the invisible hazards related to how they are showing up each day. We will move the collective needle if we increase our awareness of the whole person and design safety programs to include total well-being.
