Getting Your Safety Committee and Top Management on the Same
Page
A 1-Hour
Audio Conference Scheduled for:
May 31, 2007
1:30 - 3:30 PM Eastern Time
Too often, safety
committees hit a brick wall when moving from ideas to implementation. The
result: committee enthusiasm dies when proposed safety initiatives stall
or get shot down by senior management.
Is it because your ideas are
bad? No, of course not. Is it because your committee's "on the floor"
experience isn't valued? Not necessarily. Maybe the problem is really one
of communication, understanding, and alignment - not lack of acceptance or
appreciation.
Join us for this audio conference and learn how to
improve the effectiveness of your safety committee and become a more
effective "business partner" with your management team. You'll learn to
position your safety committee as an internal "panel of experts" and make
sure your safety recommendations are given the consideration they deserve.
For more information, please call 1- 800-791-8699 or visit
