19 Sep 22
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Tracks: Management Leadership

It’s a common complaint: “I can’t get employees to follow safety procedures.” Safety pros and supervisors often fail to realize that safety has two sides – the technical side and the “soft skills” side. Selling is a critical soft skill that allows safety pros and supervisors to influence change and build a strong safety culture. In this session, you’ll learn how to go beyond compliance by understanding three key components of selling: vision, knowledge and heart. You’ll leave with a “make safety personal” worksheet you can apply to your next conversation about safety.
