[Chicago, Illinois] SHE Software, a global leader in health and safety software, is hosting an exclusive conference in Chicago aimed at educating environment, health and safety (EHS) professionals on how to overcome challenges in workplace health and safety.
EHS Daily Advisor’s Annual Report for 2017 revealed that employee engagement is the most pressing concern for EHS professionals, closely followed by employees taking shortcuts and ignoring guidelines. Doing so can have serious consequences.
Statistics released by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) revealed that 5,190 workers were killed while on the job in 2016, while the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that 171 of these fatalities took place in Illinois. It also reported that US businesses spend up to $170 billion a year in costs associated with injuries and illnesses.
An important range of industry topics will be covered including how to manage fatigue amongst your workforce, how to focus on the positives over the problems and what the future holds for workplace safety in the United States.
Matthew Elson, CEO of SHE Software, said: “OSHA’s statistics are a stark and shocking reminder of the serious consequences that can occur from poor EHS management.
“Our conference is all about educating EHS professionals by offering expert guidance and advice on how to overcome common challenges in workplace health and safety and how to instill a positive and inclusive safety culture that encourages vital employee engagement.”
This event is part of a four-part ‘road show’ hosted by SHE Software and its partners, who are also travelling to New York, Seattle and California to meet with and educate EHS professionals across a range of industries and sectors.
