At Sentry, we offer more than just insurance. We’re here to help you prevent claims from happening in the first place. We offer a range of safety webinars throughout the year to help you build a culture of safety and reduce losses.
Risk mitigation planning can help you identify and assess potential risks that can cause project delays and additional costs to your business. Planning is the cornerstone of success for construction projects. We’ll focus on project preparation and best practices.
Safety inspections and safety audits are often used interchangeably, but they are actually two different processes designed to address different aspects of safety management. Safety inspections focus on people, equipment, and unsafe practices. A safety audit is a structured assessment that examines processes, programs, and training to ensure regulatory compliance, as well as identify potential weaknesses in your safety program. The safety audit findings help organizations optimize safety and health programs, and improve overall safety management.
During this webinar, we’ll discuss the steps you can take to create a successful near-miss program and how to accomplish each of the following steps:
Create a positive reporting process
Encourage employee participation in the near-miss process
Identify near-miss trends
How to identify and implement corrective actions
Successfully recognize team members for contributing
A successful near-miss program isn’t just paperwork—it’s a cultural tool. When team members feel safe reporting near-misses and they’re able to witness the improvements their input created, program participation grows, and your workplace becomes safer for all.
