Supervising for Success! (South Bend, IN)

Registration is from 8:00 – 8:30 a.m. | Continental Breakfast for Attendees

Front line supervision is key to the success of any operation, but many front-line supervisors lack the training necessary to succeed in their role. Productive and dependable workers are often promoted into positions of supervision based on their ability to produce a product or service. 

Successful safety programs depend on the direct involvement of front-line supervisors in the day to day blocking and tackling required to prevent accidents, injuries, and associated costs. Industry leading employers maintain successful safety and risk management programs by providing training in the safety skills necessary to identify and prevent the unsafe behaviors and conditions that lead to injury.

This workshop will cover the following skills necessary to supervise a successful safety program:

• Understanding accident causation
• Leadership by example
• Fostering a culture of safety
• Effective accident investigation
• Conducting effective safety audits
• Work area hazard assessment
• Presenting effective safety talks
• Accountability for safety

 This workshop is designed for front-line supervisors and managers. Safety personnel, risk managers, and executives are also welcome to attend.
