ACCIDENTS!
(A Seminar Designed To Help Supervisors Prevent and Investigate Accidents)

Talks

The Back Break

Backs get whipped every day! Sit, stand, stoop, turn, twist, you name it and a back somewhere is doing it. And with what relief? A few hours of rest, tossing and turning on a mattress. Why, even that is a pain sometimes! Also, don’t forget, backs have to put up with this punishment and still get talked behind.

Let’s face it: Backs deserve a break and that’s what this talk is designed to do—show employees how to take care of their back and give it a break.

Dangerous Daze

For over 40 years of your life, an accident is the most likely way you will die. Most people know how accidents happen. But few of us ever consider why they happen. In this talk we dissect the why of an accident. The thought process which leads people down the thorny and painful path leading to an accident.

Purpose: To help the audience recognize the next time they are on the accident path—so they can get off.

The Question Is: Should You Be Committed?

"Safety is a state of mind governed by the dollar sign." How can a manager prove this isn’t true? Or, if it has been, how can he prove that things will change? This talk uncovers some innovative ways to create the climate of trust that is invaluable in getting employees to believe in their safety program.

Another Pain In The Office

The office is a place where the body is most safe and secure. Office workers are rarely at risk. Only the mechanic or iron worker needs to have safety meetings. The office is a healthy haven. WRONG! The way you sit, the way you lift or type may lead to pain and years of suffering. During this talk we learn how to make the right choice, and develop good habits, so we can avoid "Another Pain In The Office."

The Naked Worker

How much protection does a person need? When an armadillo curls up into a protective ball against an oncoming automobile it’s a fruitless effort. Doesn’t the same scenario sometimes apply to protective equipment for humans? Why should a worker always wear protective equipment? Does it really make a difference? And if it does, how much? These are the questions answered in "The Naked Worker." The purpose of this talk is to influence employees to wear their protective equipment—even when the "boss" isn’t looking.

Hi Mr. Hawk,

Last November, I had the opportunity to hear you speak at Southern Pines, NC. This meeting was the most beneficial meeting that I have ever attended. You are a very talented speaker and left a lasting impression on me. I have always wanted to be able to lead meetings like you - in this respect you are my hero!

Your unique presentation style was not only informative, but also entertaining and stimulating. I received positive feedback from the entire staff, many of them saying that it was the best seminar they’ve attended.

I look forward to working with you again and will surely be recommending you to our sister branches located throughout the Northeast.
