This research-based presentation will answer the following critical questions about workplace safety:

What is "attitude" and how does it relate to behavior?
How can we get more people genuinely involved in safety efforts?
Why do so many of the current approaches to injury prevention attract limited attention from employees?
When do scare tactics work to improve attitude and get more involvement in injury prevention?
Why is it better to seek success rather than avoid failure, and how is this related to safety attitudes?
What is the real definition of "empowerment" from a worker’s perspective, and how does understanding this definition impact attitude?
What kinds of safety goals promote the best attitude and the most involvement?
What is the most important question a person should ask with regard to safety and injury prevention?

You'll also learn ...

Why the assumption that “attitude determines behavior” is a half-truth and not particularly useful as a framework for injury-prevention strategies.
Why trying to motivate people using group statistics such as “recordable injury rates” and “workers comp costs” can be counterproductive.
Why terms such as “behavior modification,” “loss control” and “compliance training” are failure-oriented and de-motivate employees.

Dr. Geller will also reveal the “secret” to genuinely changing the attitudes that lead to accidents and injuries – and cost both your company and your employees dearly.
