Beyond Safety: Leading Indicators for Health and Wellbeing
The majority of the leading health indicators developed by other sources look specifically at physical wellbeing, and approach health and wellbeing from a general community and public health perspective. While still useful, the Campbell Institute Health & Wellbeing Workgroup created a list of leading indicators more inclusive of wellbeing – physical, mental, emotional, financial – and provide indicators that employers in a variety of industries can implement and track to improve health and safety outcomes. Join us to hear about this latest research from author Joy Inouye. Lisa Bultman, of member organization Owens Corning, will provide examples of metrics used in her organization. Watch the recording and access the white paper.

An Implementation Guide to Leading Indicators
The Leading Indicators Workgroup within the Campbell Institute collaborated on a benchmarking exercise, submitting the leading indicator metrics that their organizations were actively tracking in 2018. This webinar presents a comprehensive list of those metrics, ranked and categorized by organizational maturity and complexity. Learn where an organization has to be in its safety journey in order to implement the leading metric, and how complex a process it is to track and calculate a given metric. Campbell Institute research associate Joy Inouye and Kevin Converse of United Rentals present why leading indicators for EHS is not only worthwhile but necessary for creating safe and sustainable workplaces.

Does “learning to see” improve our ability to identify hazards in the workplace, keeping us safer while on the job? This webinar provides background and preliminary research results of the pilot project for visual literacy. Watch the recording and access the white paper.

Serious Injury & Fatality Prevention: Perspectives and Practices
In the past 20 years, the U.S. has seen gains in workplace safety, particularly regarding total recordable incident rate (TRIR). This reduction in workplace injuries should not be overshadowed by another more disturbing trend, namely that the number of life-altering injuries and fatal incidents has been on a much slower decline, and in fact has increased. The next step in the journey to safety excellence, and one that Campbell Institute companies are pursuing, is the elimination of serious injuries and life-altering events. This webinar summarizes the current state of research on serious injury and fatality (SIF) prevention and provides insight into how Institute organizations are protecting their workers. Watch the recording and access the white paper.

A Systems Approach to Worker Health & Wellbeing

Data Quality and Data Integration in EHS: Impacts on Decision Making Driven by Data
Do you know the impacts of data quality on your EHS data story? Did you know poor data quality and poor understanding of your data can be a serious barrier to the success of your message or business? This session will expand on the topic of Data Quality and Data Integration in the world of EHS, issues/challenges with both and how poor quality and misunderstanding your data can lead to your inability to make effective decisions. While all data quality issues may not be able to be fully resolved – simply being cognizant of the issues and being able to properly convey your data story (with notations) will provide the audience of your report or data story to fully grasp the content. This session will walk you through a practical example of the data journey, the stops along the way and will provide you some insight to help you better understand your data and begin to problem solve data quality issues you may encounter.

Diversity and Inclusion: Lip Service or Lifesaver
Diversity and inclusion have become buzzwords that we hear daily, but D&I plays a significant role in our workplaces. Is it just lip service to make employers look good, or is it truly a lifesaver for organizations that don’t just want to survive, but thrive.
