Please join us in-person at Black Bear Diner in Grants Pass, Oregon on August 4th at noon! Our meeting will be in person.
Program Description:America has witnessed a wonderful decline in workplace injuries and illnesses in the last 100 years. Unfortunately fatalities over the last 20 years have been increasing. What safety researchers and professional have been learning is that we have been focusing all of our energy on the wrong things.
Herbert William Heinrich, who introduced us to the Heinrich Triangle Theory in 1931, taught that if we focus on minor injuries at the base of the triangle, we can prevent serious injuries and fatalities at the top of the triangle. |

Heinrich's theories are being carefully examined and re-evaluated based on new data and what we've learned is that this triangle theory is not completely accurate. There is a small subset of our hazards that have Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) potential, and if we miss those precursors, even high performing organizations can be surprised by a fatality.
Join us as we discuss SAIF's new resources helping us zero in on the "Top 10 Things That Kill", looking at ways to introduce this concept to your organization and raise awareness about these hazards. Learn why it's not bad luck, but healthy to have the conversation with your workers asking the question, "If there was going to be a serious injury or fatality in our organization, where would it be and how can our team prevent it?"
