Beyond Safety: Leading Indicators for Health and Wellbeing

The majority of the leading health indicators developed by other sources look specifically at physical wellbeing, and also approach health and wellbeing from a general community and public health perspective. While still useful, the Campbell Institute Health & Wellbeing Workgroup wanted to create a list of leading indicators  more inclusive of wellbeing – physical, mental, emotional, financial – and provide indicators that employers in a variety of industries can implement and track to improve health and safety outcomes. Join us to hear about this latest research from author Joy Inouye.
Lisa Bultman, of member organization Owens Corning, will provide examples of metrics used in her organization.

A Second Look: Update on Visual Literacy

Last year, the Campbell Institute introduced the concept of visual literacy for occupational safety in its collaboration with the Center for Visual Expertise (COVE) and Institute member organizations. The purpose of this research collaboration was and is to evaluate the effectiveness of visual literacy training on workplace health and safety outcomes. That is, does “learning to see” improve our ability to identify hazards in the workplace, keeping us safer while on the job? This webinar provides background and preliminary research results of the pilot project for visual literacy launched last year.

Serious Injury & Fatality Prevention: Perspectives and Practices

In the past twenty years, the US has seen gains in workplace safety, particularly regarding total recordable incident rate (TRIR). This reduction in workplace injuries should not be overshadowed by another more disturbing trend, namely that the number of life-altering injuries and fatal incidents has been on a much slower decline, and in fact has increased for the past three years. The next step in the journey to safety excellence, and one that Campbell Institute companies are currently pursuing, is the elimination of serious injuries and life-altering events. This webinar will summarize the current state of research on serious injury and fatality (SIF) prevention and provides insight into how Institute organizations are protecting their workers from harm.

Diversity and Inclusion: Lip Service or Lifesaver
