For Safety’s Sake, Speak Up: How Everyday Decisions Prevent Everyday Accidents

Many field staff, front line, and warehouse employees are used to a culture where speaking up about mental health challenges can be viewed as a weakness. However, heart centered supervisors and managers know all too well that there needs to be a shift in mindset towards how this conversation improves workplace safety.

In addition to making a culture shift, when physical and mental wellbeing are in jeopardy, workplace accidents tend to increase resulting in short-term and long-term disability claims. Preventable accidents can cost employers several thousands of dollars.

In this session, Kevin shares his experience where an opioid prescription for back pain, in less than two weeks, translated into an addiction that no one knew about and the mental shift that helped him to turn things around.

Kevin also shares his experience in how both his freestyle motocross accident and his dad’s hunting accident that left each of them paralyzed with spinal cord injuries were preventable, and what lessons can be drawn upon to help employees recognize when to listen to their inner voice.

Creating psychological safety within an organization begins with creating a safe space where employees understand that it’s ok to speak up when they are not feeling well, and especially when they see an unsafe environment that could cause an accident. Learning to trust your judgement to speak up for safety’s sake helps employers rest in confidence that all employees will return home safe to their families at the end of the day.

Olympic Principles That Drive Influential Leadership
