An exploration of ethics from a historical perspective will seek to expand your understanding of how ethics has been viewed and used throughout civilization. Groups will analyze various professional codes of conduct and codes of ethics, evaluating what they do and do not say for the safety profession. Then, they will use a practical approach, as presented through case studies, to present new guidelines on ethical behavior in safety. Enhancing your understanding of ethics, and how you can be unwittingly be persuaded into unethical behavior, will enrich your career and strengthen your credibility.

Occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals often have expertise in specific industries or areas of practice that they would like to share with other organizations. The challenge is that technical expertise is not enough to start a consulting practice and make that business financially successful in the long term. This course will offer the opportunity for OSH professionals to explore what it takes to run a consulting business, beyond providing OSH expertise. It will include the traits entrepreneurs have found to be successful; basic business operations such as business plans, legal structure, financial issues, insurance, pricing strategy, proposals, contracts and letters of agreement; and finally the marketing and sales processes that may be needed to bring in consulting work. Throughout the course, participants can network with other OSH professionals at different stages of their consulting journey and gain insight from a safety professional who successfully transitioned from employee to consulting firm owner.

Traditional training methods have shown that participants only retain between 8% and 10% of the information that is delivered. Every day the safety industry requires workers to remain up to date and committed to the learning process. Storytelling is an engaging and compelling way to deliver a message to an audience that may otherwise have become disengaged from the learning process. This course delves into the power of storytelling by providing learners with the understanding and narrative to deliver their own message in a new and unique way. Participants will focus on building a connection with the audience, creating a foundation for a story, diving into the meaning of a story and bringing together all the pieces of the storytelling puzzle.

A safety philosophy (Philosophia Soteria) exists that represents the body of knowledge and wisdom of occupational safety and health (OSH) practice. Discuss basic safety philosophy to leverage influence on decision-makers by transforming from using a compliance-based manager approach to an adaptive facilitator approach. By incorporating themes of influence into practice, you can create opportunities for people at all levels in an organization to contribute to workplace safety and health with a collective intelligence. The terms “trainer” and “facilitator” are often used interchangeably despite significant differences between the two roles. Fundamentally, the focus of training is on learning where a trainer is to inform learners about specific competencies, knowledge, skills and abilities. Facilitators aim to help learners achieve goals by guiding them through an efficient and productive self-discovery learning process. Learn and experience expert facilitation during this interactive course covering best practices for adult training delivery methods and explore how to apply Socrates’ methods for balancing trainer and facilitator skills.
