Please mark your calendars for our upcoming annual Hickory Safety School at the Crowne Plaza on March 23, 2017! We have an exciting agenda lined up this year, and the cost is only $60 per person. Dr. Timothy Ludwig is our keynote speaker and will be presenting “Below Zero”. [Abstract of Below Zero: Your annual injury rate is a static number. It can define your safety program performance but injury rates can seem random. It’s frustrating working so hard to reduce that rate only to have it bounce around arbitrarily. That Zero Harm goal on all the posters may seem insurmountable. A more fruitful path is to get to the numbers behind the number… a path to get you below zero. Let’s learn how some companies achieve Below Zero…The white paper on the talk can be found at: http://safety-doc.com/safety-blogs/blog/below-zero-injuries.html .]
