The Tuesday keynotes at NSC are sure to impress. The morning motivational keynote focuses on “The Human Side of Injury Prevention,” where two of the most powerful and dynamic speakers in the country team up to teach interpersonal dimension of occupational safety. The experts are E. Scott Geller, PhD, senior partner at Safety Performance Solutions, which specializes in behavior-based safety training, and Charlie Morecraft, president and CEO of Phoenix Safety Management.
Geller has been a regular columnist for ISHN for years. In his most recent article, published this month, he discusses humanistic behaviorism. He says that empathy is a key principle of humanism: “Decisions regarding the details of a BBS process, from initial design and implementation to ongoing refinement should be based on both objective observations of behaviors and subjective evaluations of feeling states. Employ empathy imaging yourself going through a particular set of intervention procedures. Then, ask yourself, ‘How would I feel?’”
