Description:
Lead persons, foremen, & superintendents have many responsibilities… only ONE of which is safety. But it is an important slice of a large pie. You likely have many safety processes in place that are designed to achieve desired results – injury prevention, loss reduction, and regulatory compliance. Field supervisors play a central role in how well all of this works.

It makes sense to provide these folks with the tools and training that will empower them to achieve success and have a positive influence in the lives of their crew. Hope to see them here!
