The workshop addressed a trend of a slower decrease in serious injury and fatalities as compared with overall injury rates and looked at three different approaches for improving an organization’s top safety metric. After Wilson’s presentation, attendees quickly moved into a day of one-to-one meetings and information-packed workshops, including:
