Organization managers, supervisors, and administrators play a critical role in the development and implementation of effective organization-wide environmental health and safety programs. This seminar discusses the most important issues for environmental, health and safety program development and improvement: involvement, liability, regulatory compliance. Topics include: the three Cs of safety, the scope of the problem, legal aspects, planning for emergencies, three critical questions, six leadership principles, and effective safety programs.
The anecdotal evidence suggests that the accident rate at secondary and post-secondary institutions in the United States is 10 to 50 times greater than in the chemical industry. And, it’s 100-500 times greater than at companies like Dow and DuPont. Now there's a simple and inexpensive solution. Learn about it on December 17 when Dr. Kaufman talks about how leaders can cost effectively create a more effective organizational environmental, health and safety program.
