Destination Home: The Real Reasons We Practice Safety
Session Description
Casey Abel and Cadrien Livingston go to work each day to make sure their coworkers at Viterra can go home to their families each night. Livingston lost her father in a grain bin accident. Abel has been working in this industry for more than a decade. In this positive and empowering webinar, the safety professionals will share how they were able to turn tragedies into opportunities—and they just might inspire you to do the same.
Destination Home, launched in the summer of 2021 brought team members from across the organization together with one purpose—to make it home at the end of each work day. The campaign resulted in a considerable drop in serious incidents.
