You’ll get field-tested innovations on classic concepts like the SAFER questions, Situational Awareness, Error Traps, and Defenses.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Eric Hartruft and Eric Dick, Idaho Power - The Reality of Complacency

Even though Idaho Power's safety program, Safety4Life, is number one, mistakes happen. It was August 3rd, 2005, a hot, sunny summer day.The job was the same as it was the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that. And then things went terribly wrong. While tying in the third conductor, a jumper line contacted the 7200 line below. A heart was stopped and restarted and a man's life was changed forever. This event led to six weeks in the burn unit and months of rehabilitation. Eric Hartruft was the lineman, Eric Dick was on duty in the control center. This is a story of the reality of complacency.

Mark Eaton, 7ft4, NBA All-Star - The Four Commitments of a Winning and Safe Team

Get ready to get into action as Mark shows you how to apply the strategies of sports coaching to build your safety culture. This action-packed workshop will provide your team with proven actionable ideas that will impact their commitment to each other and to the safety and well-being of everyone in your workplace by:

• Clarifying how honoring each team member’s strength and role is of critical importance to the success and safety of the team
• Highlighting that the only way to ensure their well-being is to ensure the safety of all
