5C     Empowering Safety at the Project Level – Factors Involved in the Safety Trained Supervisor          (STS) Certification Effectiveness (Basic)
Pat Conroy – Council on Certification ofHealth, Environmental and Safety Technologies (CCHEST)

While virtually all contractors espouse the need for effective safety programs, some go the extra mile to make injury-free work-places a reality. When all is said and done, the key to a successful safety program is the leadership. How well is it communicated, how well is it modeled, and how much authority supervisors and workers are provided to implement it are all the function of leadership. In this breakout session attendees will see and hear the successes that are possible when safety is empowered at the project level.
