HSE management through a sustainability lens systemically helps companies identify, manage, assess and continually improve environmental risks and opportunities, developing KPIs and creating value for the company and its corporate stakeholders. Over the last decade tehnology innovation, new business models, products that challenge established industry practices and now a pandemic have put a focus on EHS sustainability among corporate stakeholders.

Attention to environmental, social, and organizational governance, or ESG, impacts are a critical moment in history as more capital is shifted toward ESG priorities and a new generation of investors (millennials and Gen Z) is having a direct influence on consumer preferences. In a recent study by pwc, 76% of consumers say they will stop buying from companies that treat the environment, employees, or the community in which they operate poorly. Corporate boards and government leaders are facing rising pressure to demonstrate they are adequately equipped to understand oversee issues, from climate change to human rights to social unrest. The roundtable discussion will explore how to actively shape ESG best practices, and the data visibility needed to move your organization forward.

•How well are you infusing your ESG strategy into your organization’s ecosystem?
•Do you have an effective EHS/ESG management reporting system to meet commitments? What are the roadblocks?
•What kind of relationships does your company have with the people in its ecosystem? Employees, customers, suppliers, partners and communities, employee treatment
•What is on your ESG roadmap for 2022 and what challenges are you trying to solve, and what is the best next step you can take to get there?

Your work culture, whether it be safety culture or psychological culture, reflects your organization’s values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies, and patterns of behavior. Good or bad, it directly impacts your workers. An effective safety culture is critical to ensuring business operations and output continue, and facilities remain incident-free. Overall employee wellbeing, valuing DE&I, and psychological safety, where employees feel safe to be their full selves at work, in addition to voicing opinions, thoughts or ideas in a collaborative atmosphere are equally as important. This roundtable discussion will explore your cultural transformation challenges and how to move your employees forward in a disruptive world.

•How are you ensuring your employees feel safe, secure, and valued at your organization?
•How are you establishing a collaborative environment where employees feel safe to voice opinions or report unsafe situations?
•How are you implementing a positive safety culture in your workplace? What’s working and what’s not?
•How do you incentivize and engage?
•How has the impact of social and workplace change effected health and safety of your workforce?

According to a 2022 report by AFL-CIO workplace hazards kill and disable approximately 125,000 workers each year, 4,764 from traumatic injuries, and an estimated 120,000 from occupational diseases. Advances in nanotechnology, robotics, data analytics, video, and telecommunications are enabling employers to improve workplace safety in a variety of ways, such as better monitoring of employee health. This roundtable discussion will explore AI and tech tools for workflow optimization, wearable tech, AR/VR training and predictive analytics for incident forecasting and prevention.

•What tech tools are you using (or would like to use) to reduce injuries?
•How are you accessing and managing vehicle equipment and driver behavior/worker safety?
•What is your emergency preparedness and response strategy?
•Do you have visibility into predictive analytics for incident forecasting and prevention?
•How are you scaling the best solutions?
•Techniques/solutions that can reduce injuries/claims & support a healthy & active workforce
•MSD’s: stop them before they start Reducing Lost Time Injury Frequency Rates (LTIFR)
•AI & Tech tools – workflow optimization
•The fully connected worker should not be a fairytale

NIOSH defines Total Worker Health (TWH) as “policies, programs, and practices that integrate protection from work-related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness-prevention efforts to advance worker well-being.” This session is for HSE and Risk professionals with an interest in TWH and who aspire to help lead their organization’s TWH journey. The session will: 1) Provide background on TWH and describe its essential elements; 2) Make the case that HSE and Risk Professionals are uniquely suited to play a leading role in developing, promoting, and executing a corporate TWH strategy; and 3) Review a roadmap for HSE and Risk Professionals to effectively provide the leadership needed.

•How knowledgeable are you about the NIOSH Total Worker Health approach?
•Where is your organization on the TWH journey – no interest, interested-but-not-started, on the path?
•Are you interested in playing a leadership role in your organization’s TWH journey?

Is your safety program viewed as punitive and reactive? Are you relying on lagging indicators to gauge your programmatic success? Would you like to form a collaborative partnership between your leaders and employees?
Follow the 4Ps of Safety to reinvigorate your culture and ingrain a Positive, Proactive, Preventive and Predictive mindset into your operation’s DNA.

Virtual Training is fast becoming a choice rather than a compromise. Many companies are reviewing and rethinking their approaches to health & safety training as they have realised most aspects can be taught more effectively and economically online. With VR technology advancing rapidly, the virtual training market is projected to reach $628 million by 2028, the demand for personalised training solutions are driving its growth. The beauty of VR is that it exposes workers to hazards without any risk of harm and is also extremely beneficial from a efficiency standpoint. Join this panel to discuss the new world of virtual training.
