James Zawodzinski, Safety Director, Cascades
In this discussion, James will talk about the evolution of the Safety Manager in his 30 plus year of experience and what the role of the Safety Manager and Supervisor looks like in today’s workplace environment.
Today’s workforce presents incredible challenges for businesses to sustain a stable safety culture. Contrary to the belief that safety is everyone’s responsibility, with plentiful employment opportunities and an unending transition of employees, companies are struggling.
The focus around this discussion will be on how Safety Leadership needs to be a core value of management as a vast majority of today’s new managers do not have the training and experience to lead an effective safety culture in an organization, ultimately leading to poor safety standards and workplace injuries increasing.
