The Occupational Safety and Health Emphasis on Mental Well-Being | Dr. Darin Dillow

Описание: The current state of Occupational Safety and Health in America has drastically changed since its inception in the 1970s. The focus has shifted from an enforcement style, to one that's more centered on the mental well-being of the employees. This change is for the better, as it is seen that employees who start their shifts off in a better frame of mind are less likely to incur accidents while performing tasks or to lose motivation for their work.

Although this hasn't changed the government's enforcement on companies who blatantly ignore the rules, it has enabled employers to better focus on the employees and the human factors involved. There is a growing realization that each employee has a life outside the workplace and employee actions while on the job may stem from what is happening in their personal lives. Everybody is going through something in their life, and managers and co-workers may not understand the full impact of those events.

In this webinar, led by experienced Safety Director and company CEO Dr. Darin Dillow, we will look at the effect of this changing focus and what it means for employees and employers going forward. The 60-minute webinar concludes with a moderated live question-and-answer period.
