Most truths about communication are timeless. With all the cultural and political tension we observe today it might seem this was written as a response to that tension. However, in fact, it is one more look into how to be the most effective safety motivational speaker possible. So how important is it to be politically correct?

February 24, 2016

How often do you or the leadership of your company share safety statistics with your employees? As a safety speaker have you ever wondered how effective it is to do so? At a recent presentation, the corporate safety leader took a moment to talk with the employees. Earlier in the meeting, it was shared with the employees that the previous year they had a 1.2 OSHA recordable rate.

Remind your workers to take safety home

John Drebinger Jr.
December 22, 2015

I often remind audiences more injuries occur off the job than at work. With all the focus we place on workplace safety, I think most people must not be aware of this fact. For many of my clients, their safety record is so good the safest part of their employees’ day begins when they go through the gate to work.

Do people care?

Yes, but there are barriers to acting on that caring
John Drebinger Jr.
December 15, 2015

"Absolutely, yes." In one of my presentations, I ask the question, "What is the opposite of love?" One of the most common answers is, "Hate."

As an international safety speaker, I have the privilege of sharing safety stories with people all around the world. How often do your friends and family hear you talk about safety?

John Drebinger Jr.
May 7, 2015

Two years ago, I published an article about water safety. The response was very dramatic. I have decided to republish this article every year to help everyone enjoy the water with no loss of life.

Thought Leadership

Safety is a skill -- not a habit

John Drebinger Jr.
April 22, 2015

How many times do you hear someone say safety needs to be a habit? I think people who are great at something display more than outstanding habits; they demonstrate outstanding skill. It is easy to mistake a skill for a habit.
