Abstract

In this comprehensive webinar, Dr. Betz will delve into the application of the evidence-based safety practices Terry McSween presents in his Values-Based Safety approach and discuss practical insights aimed at fostering a culture of safety, reducing incidents, and promoting well-being. Throughout the presentation we will explore how a behavioral approach can be implemented to improve workplace safety across different industries. Dr. Betz will spend time describing how to use assessment to identify the most common areas of risk and where injury is most likely to occur. Next, Dr. Betz will describe how she uses the information gathered during the assessment to design and implement the most effective solutions. Case studies will be presented from two very different industries, healthcare and fleet management, to highlight how to navigate the practical issues, barriers, and overcome obstacles to achieve desired results. Throughout this 3-hour presentation, Dr. Betz will provide foundational knowledge that a participant can use to determine how this approach may be effective within their workplace and additional resources to get started.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this event, participants should be able to:

• Identify critical steps within the behavioral approach to improving workplace safety.
• Learners will be able to identify critical features of the assessment procedures described.
• Learners will be able to identify appropriate solutions when given case example assessment data.
