2024 Community of Human and Organizational Learning 30th Annual Conference

Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) Roundtable
If you want to be part of a new unique community focused on how you can operationalize SIF Prevention within your organization then this session is for you! Todd Hohn, convenor and organizer of the highly successful SIF Roundtable now it in its 8th year will be joined by Cary Usrey and Hilary Framke to create a new community building on the success of the original SIF Roundtable Platform. This new community will hold its first meeting on Friday at the Conference and will continue to meet virtually over the next 12 months. The organizers have found that by continuing this community outside of the conference bolsters collaboration allowing the new network of organizations and practitioners to knowledge share and discuss what has worked and what has failed to help each other avoid those pitfalls going forward.
Background:
The concept of Serious Injury or Fatality (SIF) event has evolved within the safety professional community over the last several decades. Historically, focus has been placed on addressing total recordable injury rates (TRIR), as defined by OSHA, and progress has been made to successfully reduce these types of incidents. Now, many organizations are moving beyond TRIRs and expanding their focus to the elimination of serious injuries and life altering events. Managing routine safety programs without identifying SIF potential can leave your business vulnerable. It takes a different approach to address SIFs as the drivers are different.
