As companies navigate through the operational disruptions and safety challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and bring back employees to the workplace in this rapidly evolving health and safety landscape, using digital tools and technology has never been more important or necessary. From proactive employee wellness management and restricted access to facilities to localized audits and inspections, a robust digital environmental, health and safety platform can help safety professionals break down traditional safety barriers and overcome the challenges presented by COVID-19.

Join us as Jessica Jannaman, executive director or EHS, quality and manufacturing planning for Global Automotive Systems, and Phill Welch, senior director of EHS global excellence for ProcessMAP, discuss how a digital technology platform can help take a new approach toward the Hierarchy of Controls and transform a reactive safety culture into a proactive safety culture with strong engagement from the workforce.

In this webinar, attendees will learn:

• How the traditional safety methodology of the Hierarchy of Controls can be adapted to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic
• The challenges of engaging employees from a safety perspective, both while working from home and when returning to the workplace
• How organizations can empower employees to become active stakeholders in managing safety and make suitable changes that align with ISO 45001
• How to transition from a reactive safety culture to proactive safety culture by using mobile EHS technology
• How to eliminate safety hazards and risks, prevent exposure among employees, and monitor their overall well-being through engagement and sustainable best practices
