COURSE DESCRIPTION: “Sorry, it’s not in the budget this year.”
That’s a common reply when safety managers ask top management for resources to keep employees safe. Fact is, safety isn't always at the top of some people’s priority list and you’re going to get pushback. But the best safety pros get what they need because they know how to make the business case for managing risk through safety investment.
In this audio conference, you’ll learn how to become a “business advocate” who knows how to gather and present data that will get your safety projects approved. At the end of this conference, participants will be able to:
-
Explain the concept of return on safety investment (ROI) and how to calculate it, as well as name five common types of Safety projects that require ROI analysis
-
Show clearly whether gaps between actual and desired safety performance can be closed with available resources
-
Conduct and present an effective cost/benefit analysis
-
Answer key questions that decision-makers always ask
In this 60-minute audio conference, safety expert Chip Darius will provide the strategies and tools you need to cost-justify your projects and get the resources you need to keep people safe. Chip will share his toolkit of best practices from a wide spectrum of clients: general industry, construction, small business, and multinational corporations. His proven approaches have been field-tested and used successfully by safety pros in many settings - from large safety departments to the single supervisor who was given safety as an “added” responsibility. The program will address:
-
How to address management’s disconnect between safety costs and safety results
-
How to use cold hard numbers to make your case for safety improvements
-
What to do when your team’s resources are “maxed out”
