Ray McGuire, Senior Director of Safety, fairlife, LLC
Why do safety programs and tools often fail? The programs and tools generally aren’t the problem; more often than not, it is a lack of buy-in and support from top leadership or a weak culture which also ties back to gaps in leadership.
Relying on over 27 years of diverse manufacturing leadership experience, Ray will help attendees see why culture is critical in launching and sustaining any safety program or new tool and how equally important it is to get our top leadership on board to fully support these initiatives or risk them falling apart before they have even started.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how to build a safety culture as part of the overall site culture, not as a stand-alone safety culture, as it will not be sustainable on its own?
- Gain insights into building the culture from the top down with leaders setting the tone and expectations while also building it from the bottom up to empower the people to own their safety to truly sustain the culture
- Understand why safety professionals must embrace their role as salespeople with the job of selling the “why behind the what” of our safety programs to the people and the leadership
- Be presented with case studies around how we can show our leadership that safety has major indirect costs that do hit our business’ bottom line even though it might not show up in OPEX
