Walk through safety incidents that your peer utilities experienced, including findings from their root cause analyses. Look at how data and trends can show you where your safety culture stands and where there’s room for improvement. While you reflect on what you can do to prevent the same kind of incidents from occurring at your utility, get ideas for what works to boost accountability and improve safety performance.

It’s long been said that people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad managers. Get inspired to transform your leadership style to support the utility culture you want to see. Share experiences for how to effectively move safety from a “program” to a culture of caring, blending both physical and psychological safety. Discuss how leadership can demonstrate commitment, set expectations, build trust, and create a culture of accountability.
