Green Beans & Ice Cream: Why Zero Injuries Is Not Your Goal 

A half day (4 hour) workshop presented by Bill Sims, Jr., President of the Bill Sims Company

For years, safety leaders have been challenged with hitting the goal of zero injuries. Millions of dollars have been spent by leading firms in search of Zero, the "Holy Grail" of safety. Many of these efforts have proved beneficial, and yet many others must be questioned. Some of the finest safety cultures meet the goal of Zero Injuries, only to find that a tragic event shatters Zero, leaving it a hollow memory of what was, but no longer is. Why does this happen?

Is Zero really the right goal or is there a better one that will drive continuous safety improvement? Learn what lies Beyond Zero, and how this is the goal your culture must strive for to not only survive, but thrive in today's competitive landscape.

Tragedy struck at Sea World, BP’s Horizon Drill Platform, and the MGM City Center Project in the form of multiple fatalities. Explore the underlying behavioral causes of these events with Bill Sims, Jr., author of Green Beans & Ice Cream: The Recipe for Behavior Change.  Both the safe and at-risk behaviors leading up to the event will be examined using the techniques of behavioral analysis.
