Facilitator Skills Workshop

Sustain and support your process by equipping your facilitators with the practical skills and tools they need to succeed in their vital role. This workshop also provides an enriching networking opportunity with other BAPP® technology facilitators and a forum for discussing and developing solutions to challenges specific to your implementation.

BAPP® Essentials for Established Processes

Sylvester Mayo, DEKRA

This two-day PDS is designed for steering committee members of mature processes who have not had BAPP® Implementation training from a BST Consultant. The workshop is divided into five sections that cover: (1.) CBI Development, (2.) Observation procedures and skills, (3.) Observation quality review and problem identification, (4.) Coaching observers, and (5.) Applying ABC analysis. The material will be presented in a hands-on manner with attendees participating in role-playing exercises and having group interactions.

BAPP Technology Fundamentals for Steering Committee Members

Your steering team plays a key role in keeping a BAPP initiative on track and moving toward your organization’s objectives. It is especially important to keep the knowledge and skill level high as the process matures - and as new members rotate onto the steering team. This two-day, intensive seminar provides an overview of the theory and applications of BAPP technology.

Interpersonal and Leadership Skills for Supervisors

Steven Luttrull, DEKRA

Building a culture supportive of strong safety performance is the supervisor's special responsibility. Supervisors build this culture through relationships with frontline employees. This two-day seminar reviews and provides practice in leadership and interpersonal skills supervisors need to build their culture.

SafeAlign Workshop - Job Safety Briefings

Paul Angelo, DEKRA

This workshop focuses on building the supervisor ability to see exposures and provide effective feedback to individuals. This skill improves the leaders engagement capability. Workshop attendees will learn the required skills to identify exposure in the workplace and develop the skills it takes to provide meaningful feedback to their workers while also understanding why employees “do the things they do” when exposure exist.

Serious Injuries & Fatalities & BAPP: How to Integrate SIF into your process

Ken Jones, Pete Herrera & John Trumbull, DEKRA & Sacramento Municipal Utility DistrictFocused on the integration of SIF with BAPP, this PDS will discuss critical elements of integration that apply to all industries and stages of implementation. An existing BAPP client will lead the group through an exercise regarding first steps to include SIF into your existing BAPP process.

Strategic Communications: How to Inform, Motivate, and Engage Your Organization in the Safety Process

Bob Wiltfong, DEKRAProcess communications, such as newsletters, talks, and reports, play and important role in your site safety efforts. Yet too often other demands force us to treat communication as a set of tactical, "just in time" activities. As a result, we miss an important opportunity to connect the process - including its mission - to the people we rely on to support our efforts. This seminar focuses on the skills and knowledge you need to develop a strategic communications plan for your safety process. With an emphasis on writing, design, and planning, attendees learn how to capture the attention - and commitment - of key stakeholders.

Advanced Interaction Skills – Making Feedback More Meaningful and Memorable

Susan Murphy, DEKRA

Why does some feedback go in one ear and out the other, while other feedback changes our lives dramatically and we never forget it? This workshop covers the physiological changes that occur in the brain when effective feedback is used, and the power of appropriately-worded feedback to strengthen our antecedent beliefs and to connect to key types of memory. Feedback impacts behavior. Behavior (actions) and attitude (beliefs) influence one another, so as behavior change becomes sustained, attitude eventually shifts to align itself to support the behavior.

Leadership Behaviors That Shape and Strengthen Your Culture: The Role of the Transformational Leader to Drive Organizational Change

Tom Brower, DEKRA

This 1-day PDS will discuss how a focus on continuous improvement must include a strategy for managing change on an ongoing basis and the importance of transformational leadership to drive this focus on continuous improvement. We will discuss specific leadership behaviors that support a culture of continuous improvement.

Motivating BAPP Observers

Brian Hood, DEKRAThis powerful seminar shows you the principles, practices, and strategies for creating a dynamic and motivated corps of observers. Your presenter shows you how to take the guesswork out of observer motivation with a systematic, behavioral approach that helps you identify and remove the barriers to observation and build the skills your observers need to give effective feedback.

Rincon Software - Reports and Graphs

Mike Duzinski, DEKRA

For intermediate and advanced users of Rincon software, this session focuses on how to unleash Rincon’s built-in reporting features and offers a look at how to access and apply Rincon’s more advanced reporting options using Microsoft Excel® to extend functionality for finding meaning in your observation capture data.

ethics across all levels. Exposure: The depth of understanding that the way to safety success is to continuously identify, control, reduce, and eliminate exposure. Execution: The extent of the organization’s commitment to assure the right systems, staffing, and emphasis. Evolution and Revolution: The extent to which the organization is focused on continuous improvement, controlled evolution, and a focus on revolutionary changes that will accelerate the pace of change. In this session, we will explore and discuss the concept of world-class safety and dig into the four primary attributes associated with those who truly fit the label of world class in safety. Real world case studies and examples will be leveraged.

Leader’s Role in Mitigating Human Error: Exploring the Brain-Centered Hazards™ Matrix

Phillip Belcher, DEKRAThe inconsistency of human performance is jeopardizing operational reliability, process, and organizational safety in many workplaces. Recent neuroscience research has uncovered brain mechanisms that create these errors. Understanding the Brain-Centered Hazards™ Matrix underlying these errors is crucial for organizational leaders who want to optimize human performance reliability and organizational safety. This in-depth session draws on content from the highly-acclaimed Brain-Centric Leadership™ Seminar to explain these newly-discovered workplace hazards, as well as the mitigation strategies. Case studies of successful interventions using Applied Neuroscience and High Performance Reliability Organization [HighPRO] methodologies will be explored. A proven roadmap to driving high operational reliability will be presented.

Behavior-Based Safety and Hazard Recognition

CELEBRATION 5 & 6

Don Owens, Owens-Corning

Show how hazard recognition can be intertwined with BBS to ensure observers have the skills to locate at-risk conditions. How to use these skills to eliminate risk during situation-centered and behavior observations.

1. Attendees will be able to understand "unacceptable risk"

2. Teach observers the importance of a situation-centered observation

3. How to approach upset conditions and the importance of observing them.

Behavior Chain Observations

CELEBRATION 14 & 15

Rick Salazar, Esterline Defense Technology

One way to improve observations is to sequence the behaviors exhibited while the employee is being observed. Having the behaviors sequenced allows the observers tremendous opportunity for feedback that permits the person being observed to see their chain of behaviors and where the weakest link in their chain may be. In addition we have also noticed that this type of observation helps to focus the observer much more on what the person is doing, and how they interact in their workplace. This course is primarily for advanced observers, and is a great way to grow and challenge established observers to get better. Great method to keep observers from pencil whipping observations.

Can I Learn Transformational Leadership from the Military?

CELEBRATION 1 & 2

Brian Hood, DEKRA

Military leadership may seem like the ultimate top-down management style - but is it really? What can we learn about how to engage and motivate the people we lead? This session focuses on identifying transformational leadership elements and discussing how military leaders have applied them in history. We put heavy emphasis on the leadership training that comes from the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Influencing Without Authority: Using Psychology to Impact Safety Commitments

ROCK SPRINGS

David Musgrave, DEKRA

Making your mark on those around you requires strong influence skills. This is especially true when those you want to influence and support are senior to you. This session presents some of psychology’s most effective tools of influence and discusses how you can use them to build stronger safety commitments in superiors and shape engaged teams that exhibit more “walk” to match the “talk.”

Revitalize Your Mature Process

CELEBRATION 7 & 8

Julie Smith, Meganne McInerney & Dawn Bollen, EJ Gallo

Is your process stalled and in need of pizzazz? In this session, we will teach you the tools that we used to put life back into our process. By applying these proven strategies, we were able to increase our stainability by 20% in just one year! This session is designed to give leadership, facilitators, and steering committee members a strategy on how

these easy-to-apply tools worked for us. We will help you make things visual, gain leader buy-in and support, and get the observations that you need to maintain a successful process.

Supervisor Safety Leadership: Critical Interactions and How to Get Them Right

CELEBRATION 3 & 4

Colin Hubanks, DEKRA

In today’s organizations, the supervisor’s role is pivotal. But in this era of “do more with less,” choices have to be made about what gets done and what doesn’t. DEKRA's work in the field with safety leaders around the world shows there are five critical activities every supervisor must do well to drive a positive safety culture. Attendees in this session will learn the five key activities, why they are important, and how supervisors can build fluency in each one of them.

Sustainability: Keeping Your Change Efforts Beyond the First Year

BLUE SPRINGS

Paul Angelo, DEKRA

BAPP technology improvement efforts and SafeAlign safety leadership development initiatives are powerful change mechanisms that, once implemented, continue to add value and reduce exposure. This session is about how to formally diagnose the health of your process after the initial implementation. Once a current picture is obtained a sustainability action is developed that reinforces the effective aspects of your process and addresses the aspects that need to be adjusted. Working the sustainability action plans will keep your processes health.

Using Resistance to Change as an Asset

CELEBRATION 12 & 13

Claudia Lima, DEKRA

Resistance is a natural, healthy, and productive response to change. Contrary to some beliefs however, it does not have to be a barrier. This session shows you how to leverage that resistance for good in creating a firm foundation for successful change.

Visual Literacy: How Learning to See Benefits Occupational Safety

Building and Maintaining Successful Teams

CELEBRATION 1 & 2

Bill Bozzo, DEKRA

We’ve all been a part of teams that thrive. We've also been a part of teams that never seem to reach their potential. What are the characteristics that foster team success and mission accomplishment? This session takes an insightful look at those key factors and shows you how to build a team environment characterized by individual respect, efficiency, excellent communication, and, ultimately, results.

Discipline and Safety: 6 Best Practices to Guide You & Common Myths Busted

CELEBRATION 3 & 4

Colin Hubanks, DEKRA

For many, the question of whether and how to apply discipline for safety violations can be confusing. If done poorly, discipline can impact exposures, incident reporting, perceptions of fairness, and morale. In this session, we’ll present common discipline myths and helpful best practices to facilitate fair treatment and improved safety for all. Shape your workplace with an informed discipline process that incorporates a behavioral perspective to get safer results now.

Feedback: Making It a Conversation NOT a Sermon

BLUE SPRINGS

Ken Karn, EJ Gallo

We’ve all been a part of poorly framed discussions that come across as

blaming, self-righteous, or one-sided in nature. It doesn’t have to be that way. Get ready for a lively discussion that helps all observers focus their feedback sessions on problem solving. This session features group participation and the “Five Question” approach to problem solving to provide participants with new insights and best practices.

Getting the Most From Your Observation Strategy

CELEBRATION 9 & 10

Gary Langham, DEKRA

Most workplaces have a variety of tasks and environments with differing levels of risk. A high-impact BAPP implementation will identify the various risk levels associated with the workplace and use observations and feedback to counter these risks. This session covers the steps to developing an effective observation strategy. With a demonstration of the process planning tool, attendees learn how to determine their optimum training, coaching, and observing strategy.

Icebreakers and Activities for Meeting and Training Effectiveness

PEACOCK SPRINGS

The Value of Credibility: How to Build and Sustain It

ROCK SPRINGS

David Stricoff, DEKRA

As a manager and leader, how credible are you? How much do your employees trust you, your decisions, what you advocate, and even what you say? Evidence suggests that credibility, defined as the level to which employees find you trustworthy and believable, is a management essential that directly impacts work team performance and goal realization. This session describes the fundamentals of credibility as a leadership practice and outlines steps to build and retain it.

Explore DEKRA's Point of View on the Misunderstood Term of World-Class Safety

CELEBRATION 5 & 6

Don Groover, DEKRA

Is a recordable/reportable incident rate of .25 low enough to qualify you to be considered world-class in safety? Is having a fatality enough to disqualify you? The answer to both questions could be yes or no, the outcome is not the differentiator. In this session, we will discuss the four pillars of world-class in safety and explore and why incident rates are not the deciding factor. Attendees will leave the session with a deeper appreciation of how difficult it is to reach world-class and sustain that designation.

Growing Your Facilitator into the Staff Member They Need To Be

CELEBRATION 1 & 2

Brian Hood, DEKRA

The BAPP steering committee is staffed to the site leaders to drive the behavior-based safety process.

Using Analytics to Minimize Bias and Luck: Cross Your Data, Not Your Fingers

CELEBRATION 7 & 8

Gennifer Lyon, DEKRA

Humans are wired to seek patterns. Unfortunately, these “patterns” are laden with our judgements, biases, and expectations such that we struggle to differentiate between real patterns and random events. This session will share real-world examples of problem investigation using cross-sectional data. We will discuss connections between safety data and other organizational data that could be captured to identify the characteristics associated with incidents. The objective is to share ideas and concepts that will help your organization gather better information to identify meaningful trends, minimize bias, and make real improvements in safety.

Using Moments of Safety Transformation to Drive Culture

CELEBRATION 5 & 6

Don Groover, DEKRA

Any given interaction is an opportunity to make a lasting impact in a person’s

beliefs and actions. This opportunity is missed if the person engaged in that interaction doesn’t leverage the power of transformational leadership style. This session will outline how to link company safety vision to personal safety to transformational change. The session is appropriate for anyone who wants to be more effective in creating long lasting safety change in others.

Aging Workforce: How Does It Increase Exposure?

BLUE SPRINGS

Mike Mangan, DEKRA

Within the next 5-7 years, we will have more individuals over the age of 65 in our communities than between the ages of 18-64 in our workplaces. Many of these senior individuals will still be working because they need to, not because they want to. We also know that as we age, we lose some of the vigor, the strength, and the quick reflexes that we had in our 20s and 30s. This session will discuss how working with the various generations can be challenging when it comes to differences in values, communication, and technological preferences. We'll also cover the differences in working with people’s “physical” abilities. Questions addressed will be: How is an aging workforce creating new exposures for your workplace? How is it addressed in teams, crews, or gangs? What best practices help to mitigate this exposure?

Behavior Change on the Spot: Combining ABC Analysis with Guidance Feedback

CELEBRATION 9 & 10

Jacque Cooney, DEKRA

Feedback is information about performance in relation to a goal. Guidance feedback is information about

performance when the performance falls short of a goal. That’s a problem. ABC Analysis is a problem-solving tool. Learn how to use these two behavioral skills together to remove barriers to successful performance.

Chronic Unease

MANATEE SPRINGS II

Ray Seneca, Shell

What is your tolerance level to risks? Hazards are everywhere within any organization, and many are easily recognized. However, many employees choose to accept certain risks countless times a year, resulting in thousands of injuries. In order to reduce or even alleviate any acceptance of risk taking, there must be a level of Chronic Unease established. Chronic Unease is a leadership behavior that, once displayed, will permeate into the front-line leaders as the organization responds accordingly. This session teaches methods to build and sustain Chronic Unease.

Defining Behavior: Your Key to Unlocking Outstanding Performance Every Day

CELEBRATION 12 & 13

Kathy Culig, DEKRA

CELEBRATION 5 & 6

Wolfgang Reichelt, DEKRA

In this session we will discuss the role that training plays in improving safety. We will look at forms of media-based safety training, ranging from simple to complex: safety campaigns with learning nuggets, safety instructions by web-based

trainings, learning at the point of danger with beacons, and guided work supported by augmented reality.

How to Make Job Safety Briefings Interactive

CELEBRATION 1 & 2

Byron Faust, DEKRA

This session focuses on an interactive and engaging approach to job safety briefings, tapping into employee experience and engaging them in a discussion about specific risk and exposures, and how to manage them. We will explore a simple five-step process. This approach increases the retention of key points and optimizes the likelihood of behavioral change that minimizes exposure to risk.

Rethinking Observation Strategies

CELEBRATION 7 & 8


Rethinking observation strategies - surprising research findings. What we learned from studying millions of observations surprised us. The findings will help your observation effectiveness.

Where to Start Your Journey? Safety Improvement From the Bottom Up and the Top Down

CELEBRATION 3 & 4


In this session, we explain predictive measurements and supportive leadership behaviors that help develop a culture of commitment versus one of just compliance. We focus on a two-prong approach to changing an organization's culture. First, we cover the bottom-up approach to culture change: behavior-based safety at the working interface. We then discuss the top-down supporting approach, which deals with leadership's role in culture change.

zero harm - leaders must engage the hearts and minds of others. This motivation requires a very personal commitment that starts with who the leader is and values. Presented by renowned DEKRA leader Jim Spigener, this session helps leaders focus on how to become personally connected to safety, starting with defining their own personal value for human life - and how to translate that value into concrete safety leadership behaviors.

Leading with Safety While in the Midst of Making Companies More Efficient

CELEBRATION 1 & 2

Bill Bozzo, DEKRA

Leaders today are consistently pressured to be more efficient and productive. Some perceive this to be inconsistent with their safety goals, however, this is not necessarily the case. The focus of this session is to explore how effective leadership and change management can improve both productivity and safety.

Removing Barriers to Effective Meetings

BLUE SPRINGS

Lisa Morley, DEKRA

Here’s a session to help you spend less time in meetings, and to get the most out of the time you do spend by scheduling and conducting effective meetings.

Why Should I Be the Next Facilitator?

CELEBRATION 12 & 13

Jack Balsamo, DEKRA

Strong process facilitation also means setting the stage for the next leader. Although teams are encouraged to develop a system for effective turnover, most do not do so; these teams are then stumped when turnover occurs. This session discusses how process leaders can set the stage for success. Attendees should include steering team members, observers, and facilitators who have a desire to grow into the facilitator role.

Act Like You Mean It — Presenting with Style

CELEBRATION 5 & 6


Data are available in an abundance, creating exciting new potential for uncovering hidden keys to safety and operational problems. Yet all too often, critical patterns, actionable trends, and vital signals go unseen or become obscured by poor presentation. Along with the growing abundance of data, a new body of knowledge is available, describing particular pitfalls to avoid and opportunities to leverage for ensuring that data conveys information well. This interactive seminar provides participants with a solid understanding of principles and best practices for delivering new levels of clarity using data.

Distracted Driving and the Multitasking Myth

CELEBRATION 14 & 15

Susan Murphy, DEKRA

Driver distractions now rank with alcohol and speeding as leading factors in fatal and serious injury crashes. Many organizations have established rules related to cell phone use, and the most common rule is the acceptance of using hands-free devices while not tolerating the use of handheld devices. But is hands-free cell phone use safer than handheld cell phone use while driving? This session draws from the field of neuroscience to look at and understand the distracted brain to provide you with

information you can take back to your organization (or to your family), and to ensure meaningful policies are established to effectively ensure employees are never distracted while driving.

9:45 - 10:45 AM

Handling Conflict Successfully

CELEBRATION 12 & 13

Jack Balsamo, DEKRA

Many think of conflict as something negative and unpleasant, but conflict is a normal part of life and doesn’t have to include confrontation. In this session, attendees learn that when addressed correctly, conflict is valuable and constructive. Learn to improve your effectiveness in conflict situations by consciously selecting your behavior, rather than reacting in habitual, unexamined patterns. Learn your conflict resolution style and assess its usefulness. We discuss all five styles and under which circumstances each one is most effective.

The Business of Being a Steering Committee

CELEBRATION 3 & 4

Lisa Morley, DEKRA

A steering team is a lot like a business—with clients and investors who rely on you to deliver results. Using group interaction, this session shows you how to hone your “business” communication strategy into a powerful tool for engaging management and workers.

Calibration – A Tool for Improving Your Observation Consistency

BLUE SPRINGS


We use scales and meters to ensure our processes are operating in control, and these instruments must be calibrated regularly to ensure reliability. Observers must also be calibrated to ensure the data is accurate and feedback is consistent. Attendees will learn a simple approach to calibrating observers that has been used successfully in other implementations.

Challenging the Incident Investigation Paradigm

CELEBRATION 7 & 8

Rick Smith, DEKRA

As safety prevention has evolved, several paradigms have emerged around incident investigation, such as “all incidents must be investigated,” “each incident must be individually investigated,” and "all incidents must get to root cause and use the same investigation methodology.” With the new research findings related to the causal factors of serious injuries and fatalities, it is time to take a serious look at the incident reporting and investigation process. In this session, we talk about the limitations of this current paradigms and the need to shift our thinking around incident investigation.

Increase and Sustain Observation Quality Through Coaching

CELEBRATION 14 & 15

Uma Chand, EJ Gallo

This presentation will talk about the workplace impact, types of depression, warning signs, how to get involved, how to be supportive, and an example of what to say to a potentially depressed employee/coworker.

Using Observer Meetings to Connect Observers to Your Process

CELEBRATION 9 & 10


Observers are critical to an effective process, but may sometimes feel as if their observations don't matter. Observer meetings are a tool that helps build observer engagement and encourages them to be ambassadors. This session provides a deeper understanding of the ingredients to successful meetings that both provide natural opportunities for information exchange as well as position observers as champions for change.

Why Do They Keep Doing That? ABC Analysis Made Easy

CELEBRATION 11


For some, ABC analysis does not seem as simple as 1-2-3, but rather intimidating. This session demystifies the fundamental concepts, process, and language behind this powerful tool for understanding the motivation of individuals to behave the way that they do.

Exposure Recognition = 20/20 Vision

CELEBRATION 12 & 13

Jack Balsamo, DEKRA

One of the objectives of BAPP technology is to increase the employee's ability to recognize exposure. It is easy to see an exposure when an injury is “about to happen,” but more difficult to see exposure when imminent danger does not exist or when someone is performing behaviors safely. In this session, attendees learn techniques for how to identify exposure on a more consistent basis and provide positive and guidance feedback.

How to Win Over CAVE People

CELEBRATION 9 & 10

Kathy Culig, DEKRA

Every workplace has workers who seem to deflate the drive of those around them. They're known as CAVE people (Consistently Against Virtually Everything), and their presence can be toxic to your organization. In this session, we will help you identify what — and who — is holding you back from achieving your safety goals. Participants will also learn strategies and techniques to improve their ability to engage and win over even the most resistant and disengaged employees.

Spinal Conclusions: The Complete Back Injury Prevention School

CORAL SPRINGS

Bruce Madsen, High Tech Sports Therapy Associates, Inc.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that of all 379,340 strains, sprains, and tears that occurred on the job in 2009, 51.44% were to the back, with an annual cost of $100 billion. This seminar will provide in-depth knowledge of the back including, medical school anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, common problems, at risk work practices, therapeutic exercises, and replacement Preferred Work Methods. The most common comment following the training is that they now understand why twisting and lifting is so damaging, and why the pain from lifting incorrectly is often delayed. Fact: A healthy disc will catastrophically rupture at just over 2000 lbs. per square inch from compression but will rupture up to 11 times easier when rotation is added.

How Not to Shoot Yourself in the Foot (What Safety Leaders Do to Hurt Their Credibility)

MANATEE SPRINGS II

Tom Brower, DEKRA

Implementations frequently struggle because process leaders have intentionally or unintentionally acted in ways that create problems for themselves. In other words, we sometimes shoot ourselves in the foot! This session includes small-group activities for exploring a variety of actions that are more hurtful than helpful, and it offers discussion and presentation on how to prevent the hurt and how to “fix” the damage that may have been done when individuals lose credibility, diffuse focus, fail to act, etc.

Rewards and Recognition: What Has Worked and What Has Not

BARREL SPRINGS II


Aligning rewards and recognition to elicit intended impact can be tricky. This session discusses the respective definitions of rewards and recognition and provides implementation best practices. Participants review case studies of both effective and ineffective implementation of rewards and recognition programs. Prediction exercises on the outcome of each case and alternative approach development provide practical guidelines for implementation in your own organization.

Seeing is Suspect: Hazard Recognition, Situational Awareness and our Brain-Guided Vision System

ROCK SPRINGS

Carol Parnell, DEKRA

One critical line of defense in both organizational and process safety systems is front-line employees' ability to detect and respond to workplace hazards. A significant part of this person-dependent detection/response process involves human vision. But, what if the human vision system itself is a workplace hazard? What if the human brain generates hazards that we haven’t addressed in our Hazard Control Systems? This session will explore four Brain-Centered Hazards in detail and will demonstrate how hazard recognition and situational awareness can only be achieved by first addressing these. Participants will experience Brain-Activated Noticing and will learn how cognitive (brain) fatigue diminishes situational awareness and hazard recognition, and simultaneously produces higher risk-taking actions.

SIF Exposure Reduction – Strategy & Tactics (Our Way)

CORAL SPRINGS

Ken Karn & Dawn Bollen, EJ Gallo

As an organizational leader do you know your companies serious injury and fatality (SIF) potential? At E&J Gallo Winery we didn’t. Having our vice president of operations attend this conference in 2014 and learn about SIF exposure was our “aha” moment. While measuring and monitoring injury numbers/outcomes is central to all organizations and paramount for safety leaders, reality is that isn’t enough. Understanding and impacting your organizations SIF exposures is a key to improving your safety system. This session will walk through the recognition of our real SIF exposure potential, the development and integration of a focused strategy, and the tactical actions needed for comprehensive improvements in our overall safety system.

Understanding My Brain Behind the Wheel

MANATEE SPRINGS I

Larry Russell, DEKRA

In today’s workplaces, employees face many hazards they don’t even realize are present. Not just hazards in the environment, on the roadway, or in the vehicle, but also the hidden hazards that exist inside their own brain. This session leverages the latest findings from the field of neuroscience to better understand the brain-centric hazards common to all drivers. We discuss how these internal hazards expose drivers to risk of serious motor vehicle crash fatalities and injuries, and what leaders can do to protect workers.
