This year we are excited to be offering over 70 different workshops over the course of two days! This Conference brings together workers, employers, safety and health professionals, medical providers and experts of all industries to deliver a program of cutting-edge education, best practices, peer networking and demonstrations in the Exhibit Hall as well as the surrounding areas outside the Convention Center.

Safe 4 the Right Reasons takes a basic look at our human nature and breaks down why we put ourselves at risk.  The fact is, as humans we are not wired to be safe. That is why the conventional approach to employee safety often delivers meager results.  Safe 4 the Right Reasons effectiveness is rooted in the fact that this message is personal for every attendee - and the only way to get employees to value their own safety is to make it about them!
