ProAct Safety's Galloway to Discuss Competing Priority of Safety Versus Production at Tree Care Industry Association Event
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ProAct Safety, pioneer of safety excellence strategies, announced Shawn M. Galloway, the company's president and chief operating officer, will deliver a keynote at the TCIA Winter Management Conference on Wednesday, February 13th at 10:15am. The conference will take place at the Marriott Resort in Basseterre, St. Kitts.
The keynote, "Why Safety Competes with Production and What to Do About It," will cover how balancing these two priorities tends to enhance both, while letting either triumph over the other will damage efforts and create collateral damage in other areas of the organization. The idea of production versus safety must give way to the vision of safe production which is growing in popularity. Many organizations give this concept lip service, but don't do what is necessary to make it reality.
Galloway says, "Safety, quality and production have long been perceived as competing priorities in most organizations. Today more than ever, corporations work aggressively to change how safety is perceived and valued within day-to-day decisions. 'Safety first' and other phrases are messaged throughout countless companies all with good intent to influence employee actions, but they never fully do the job. Rather than more company messaging, first focus on the experiences of the workforce to change perceptions. I look forward to sharing how several complex organizations have overcome this issue and create and sustain cultures of safety excellence."
