It's a myth that safety is just a cost of doing business. For industries that do hazardous work, safety is integral to strategic execution. But too often, strategic pressures and organizational dilemmas undermine effective hazard identification and mitigation, operational learning, and psychological safety. Safety leaders and executives must learn why and how to build safety into organizational strategy as a key contributor to the value chain. This session will explore: 
  • Why safety capacity is fundamental to effective organizational strategy development and execution
  • How to build the case for greater consideration of safety at the c-suite and board levels
  • How to create strategic alignment between safety and business decisions by focusing on value creation
