The momentum continues on Sept. 18, showcasing workshops such as “Recordkeeping Roulette,” “Are Contractors the Weakest Link?” “Worksite Analysis,” and “Exploring New Territory: Subtle Barriers to Near-Miss Reporting” as part of a larger line-up of 14 sessions.

Sept. 19 broadens the horizon with offerings including “Beyond the Buzzword,” “Dog Bite Prevention – Bulli Ray,” “Document! Document! Document!” and “Using Safe + Sound Campaign to Supercharge Worker Engagement,” among many others in the day’s roster of 29 workshops.

Concluding on Sept. 20, attendees can engage with sessions like “Artificial Intelligence in Anti-Collision and Pedestrian Safety,” “Delivering Powerful Safety Feedback,” “Operational Readiness,” and “Safety & Trust: What’s the Secret Sauce?” among the final day’s 13 workshops.

A key education note for attendees: Safety+ participants can earn CEUs from recognized boards, including the American Board of Industrial Hygiene, the Board of Certified Safety Professionals, the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management, and the International Board for Certification of Safety Managers.
