Crane Industry Services will introduce a new certification program for construction and utilities managers at ConExpo-Con/Agg, which takes place March 10-14 in Las Vegas.

Developed in partnership with strategies consultant Okos, the Leading Safety Works certification program is designed to train construction and utilities leaders in the art and discipline of engaging teams in workplace safety. It utilizes a replicable framework that addresses four key questions:

• What is the state of the safety culture?

• How are we engaging teams?

• What’s the plan for change?

• How will we implement the plan?

Grounded in coaching, storytelling, and case-study application, Leading Safety Works features practical tools that foster safety and continuous improvement, guide productivity, and protect profits. Leading Safety Works delivers 90-day outcomes that track with the overall project strategic plan.

Leaders will learn how to make critical connections between project and people strategies, how to identify opportunities to change and improve safety practices, how to involve teams in decisions and communications, and how to create accountability.

After earning a Leading Safety Works certification, leaders maintain access to coaches and a continuous learning environment.
