have a cascading effect, impacting the employee,
jobsite performance and cost. Preventing
injuries on the job is a smart business decision.

Preventing Injuries

• No one wants to be injured yet injuries continue
  to happen way too often. Our innovative approach
  to safety training effectively engages people and
  shows them how they can be safe on the job.

While it is great to have well equipped response
teams, we want to keep injuries from happening
altogether!

Making Your Safety Focus Work for You

• Unsafe mindsets were not created over night and
  are often difficult to change. Presenting your
  focus topic using our three different lesson
  formats can increase your effectiveness. Help
  your employees build a solid safety mindset. It
  will prove invaluable for years to come.

21
Prepare and Review Each Lesson

• Read through each lesson. Highlight key points
  and reference your procedures.
• Secure physical aides to help you with your
  presentation.
• Bring handouts / make overheads.
• Use lesson tips / helps.

Our lesson plans provide general lesson tips and
individual lesson helps to enhance lesson
effectiveness.
22
Create the Proper Learning Environment

• Do your best to reduce or remove visual and
  audible distractions when training employees.

23
Create the Proper Learning Environment

• Make sure everyone is comfortable and can see and
  hear clearly.
• Smaller class sizes encourage participation.

24
Create the Proper Learning Environment

• Temperatures that are too hot or cold are
  distracting and can reduce lesson impact.

25
Create the Proper Learning Environment

• Keep lessons short 10 minutes max. The longer
  you talk, the less people will retain. Several
  short lessons are better than one long one.

26
Create the Proper Learning Environment

• Know your audience and address their needs
• Do you have any hearing or vision impaired
  employees?
• Does everyone speak English fluently?
• What is their experience level on the job?

27
Create the Proper Learning Environment

• Your interaction with the audience
• You are a salesman and need to show excitement
  for the topic to sell it. If you are not sold
  out and excited about safety you cannot expect
  your audience to be either.
• You are a leader and need to communicate the
  safety expectation to everyone.

28
When and How Often?

• Timing and frequency are important in proper
  training efforts
• Kicking off the shift with a safety topic every
  day is best. This demonstrates safety is a core
  value.
• We recommend formal focus topic lessons twice a
  week.
• Lesson follow-ups, crew issues and incident
  reviews should be done on the remaining days.

29
Lead by Example

• Show your employees you care about their safety.
• Establish safety as a core value without
  compromise!
• Hold yourself and others accountable.
• Reward excellence.

Leading is not pushing, pulling, dragging or
driving. Leading is getting out in front and
setting the example to follow.
30
Listen and Follow-up

• This is where your leadership kicks in high gear.
  You are asking your employees to apply good
  safety principles on the job. They will be
  asking you for help. Be a good listener and
  provide the tools and procedures needed to
  support their desire to work safely.
