Webinar: Surviving Safety
Excelling as a Safety Professional While Maintaining Individual Wellness
Serving as a safety professional is an important and valuable role, but it can also be difficult and taxing on personal wellness. Duties require attention to hazards, necessary regulations and preventative measures, along with risk assessments. All of which, often including potential worst-case scenarios affecting many workers, come with little actual authority.
In addition to the job duties themselves, they are often performed in a context of variable human, political or corporate factors. With this, “surviving safety” is a matter of continual education, professional development and personal wellness to balance due diligence at work and home with maintaining physical and mental health.
