The Safety Program Implementation course caters to the “highly independent” alpha males in the construction industry. Brent demonstrates how a simple focus on emotional competencies can turn your safety program around. By tapping into the emotional part of safety, your employees will naturally work safer, instead of rebelling against rules and policies. The business will reap the financial benefit of them doing so, allowing the company to build a well-respected reputation around this increasingly important metric. The issue isn’t about your people knowing the safety guidelines; it’s about being motivated to actually follow them. This program provides that motivation.
After taking this course, you will be able to:
- describe the limitations of command and control safety programs
- describe how to use the emotional side of safety to make existing safety programs more effective
- indicate how intangible elements such as physical fitness, judgment, cognitive function, motivation, and hyper-masculine work environments affect safety and educate your team about how their lifestyle and work style choices affect these elements
- implement the 9 steps of the Primal Safety Program so that your people work more safely and actually follow the rules of your existing safety program
