NFSHW24: It Pays to Talk Safety in Ag!
September 20 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT
Last updated on September 3rd, 2024 at 04:46 pm
Summary: A recent publication has estimated that agricultural injuries are underreported by an astonishing 70%. This webinar will discuss the challenges, barriers, and unintended consequences for suppressing injury reporting in the agricultural workforce. We will also take a look at “good” and “bad” safety incentive programs and how to encourage the workforce to talk about incidents, fostering a positive safety culture.
Intended Audience: Agricultural employers (any size, but will be most relevant to employers with 10+ employees)
Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to…
- Identify potential reasons for underreporting injuries and why addressing the root causes of an injury is essential for business continuity.
- Understand the impact of injuries on employee moral and employer reputation.
- Develop a successful safety incentive program that encourages an open dialogue between employees and employers regarding safety.
