Have you already determined where the vulnerabilities in your system exist? At minimum, every business or government entity should have a written safety program, depicting its implementation of a safety culture. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires a hardcopy written program for several of the standards found within CFR 1910 and CFR 1926. Written programs commonly required by OSHA include:

• Hazard Communication/Employee Right-to-Know
• Permit-Required Confined Space Entry
• Lockout/Tagout - Control of Hazardous Energy
• Respiratory Protection
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan
• Emergency Action Plan
• Construction Site Accident Control Plan

After your programs are written, how are you going to implement them? Our team is well - qualified to help you develop an implementation plan and, with training support, to educate your entire company on the new program(s). Large business or small, we can help you get in compliance... and stay in compliance!

The first step in identifying opportunities to improve morale or bottom-line expenses is to analyze the current state of your organization. It is no different when it comes to the safety of your employees and customers.

Our safety audits and inspections help to identify problem areas and determine the various risks and vulnerabilities of your system. After careful analysis, we will assist you in developing a mitigation plan tailored to reduce that risk and provide maximum protection to people, physical assets, reputation, governmental compliance, and modification rates. This, in turn, will lead your organization to lower insurance costs!

An audit of your system can be included in your company or governmental annual report, demonstrating your dedication to the safety and welfare of your employees, customers, and stockholders.

• An inspiring speaker to captivate your audience with thought-provoking stories?
• A world-class speaker with the ability to tailor the message to meet your needs?
• A mini-leadership program featured at your next corporate event or conference?

The Safety Center's professional development team is now available for keynote speeches, development discussions, and mini-leadership programs. To make your next event memorable, The Safety Center organizes alternative programs in addition to the standard keynote:

Keynote Speeches

Each speech is between 45 and 60 minutes in length and is presented by a professional from The Safety Center. All speakers have considerable leadership experience and a unique ability to motivate and inspire groups of all sizes. Each keynote speech features stories and personal anecdotes from the speaker's own experiences.

Panel Discussions

Speakers of different political parties discuss the issues from all sides, providing a lively exchange of ideas that creates an environment for audience involvement. Led by a skilled moderator, our panel of experts will provide a range of insights to enliven a presentation on any subject.

Leverage the unique talent of our strategists and original thinkers to help you achieve your goals. These are energetic exchanges with your specific challenges as the points of discussion. We'll combine the right ideas with a special format to deliver powerful and relevant results.

Executive Sessions

Looking for someone dynamic who not only connects with your audience but also discusses high-level industry and organization challenges with your executives and VIPs? These sessions can really make an executive meeting or retreat much more dynamic.

Leadership Institute Program

Knowledge is a key element of leadership, and safety has been a topic difficult to define, with educational programs on the subject being quite limited. When a company or government agency looks to hire a safety professional or to assign the responsibility of safety leadership to another discipline within the organization, the candidate usually struggles to gain the competencies required to do an effective job. One serious injury can lead to a tumultuous environment, full of challenges.

The Safety Leadership Institute Program is comprised of "mini-subjects," delivered by high-end executive professionals who have been there.
