The Real Cost of Safety
You’re invited to a candid discussion with Mr. Richard McElhaney as he talks about the effects of traumatic injuries not only on the employee but on the family, coworkers, and the company. Mr. McElhaney will also speak about six accident reduction techniques that had the greatest impact over his 30-year career in the health and safety field. He will also reveal what the real costs are of being safe. He will revisit the importance of the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) as a preplanning tool. “JSA’s have been around for many years, but they have become complacent on many projects globally.” Mr. McElhaney will review in detail an injury that occurred on one of his projects and how the use of JSA’s would have prevented the injury and how the JSA process turned things around.
Learning Objectives
