In our book “7 Insights into Safety Leadership,” Tom Krause and I make the point that leaders should start with a focus on preventing serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs). What does it mean to focus on SIFs? What doesn’t it mean? Why is a SIF focus better? First, A Clarification Focusing on SIFs does not mean that smaller injuries are unimportant….
Dr. Tom Krause speaks on safety leadership, to a live audience of senior corporate executives. In the first of four videos, Tom emphasizes that new research has changed the way the safety community thinks about Serious Injuries and Fatalities.
Is your organization still suffering life-altering and fatal injuries even though other types of injuries have improved? If so, you are not alone. In this video (my first ever video!) I explain why your organization may need a dual strategy for improving safety. Learn how a clear and separate focus on serious and fatal injuries can make your prevention efforts more effective. Discover how it can help you gain credibility as a safety leader.
