Live webinars

Safety training has evolved significantly since its inception in the 1970s—from trainers in a classroom to the emergence of online and just-in-time training. What can we learn from these changes? Which methods were the most effective for reducing incidents, keeping employees engaged, and increasing overall efficiency, and what should we be doing right now?

Join Tila Maceira-Klever, learning and development manager at CIS, as we explore how adults learn best, and how to create training that sticks. Learn how you can quickly implement solutions into your current training program to be more effective, while focusing on increasing the comprehension and retention of your employees.

One-in-five U.S. adults have a mental illness in any given year, and they're working across all industries and sizes of organizations. Leaders who know how to recognize and support an employee with mental health challenges and concerns can create a work environment that generates fewer absences, higher productivity and greater loyalty to the organization. With 84% of the respondents reporting that at least one workplace factor negatively affected their mental health, it is critical for employers to create a work environment that supports employees’ mental health.

Prepare for an injury-free workday 

The session starts with a safety fundamental: planning. We discuss how to create and conduct effective pretask plans to avoid injuries. Identifying hazards is another key step in prevention, so we focus on four of the most common hazards in construction: falls, electrocution, “caught-in-between,” and “struck-by.” 

Respond to incidents and analysis 

Sometimes, despite our best safety efforts, incidents and injury accidents occur. We learn the actions you need to take when things don’t go as planned and incidents or injuries occur on the jobsite. We also explore how to study incidents and accidents to find and implement actions that can make our jobsites safer.
