Keynote and Session Topics
It’s difficult for organizations to unite employees under a mission, even one dedicated to safety, where the risks can be fatal. NSC tackles safety topics from a variety of perspectives, to make the issues and solutions more concrete, with practical takeaways for every level.
A broad range of safety topics will be covered, including serious injury and fatality prevention, projections about how safety will function in the future and descriptions about how catastrophes happen: the ideas, beliefs, and delusions that lead to accidents. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and contribute to interactive discussions as well.
Taking a deeper dive into safety themes, the safety sessions offer a way to understand the space and learn how to:
- Manage safety and health in an organization
- Recognize and counteract hazards, including dusts, vapors, noise, radiation, heat stress, biological concerns and ergonomics challenge
- Create a safety-centric culture, empowering employees
- Progress career and move into management
