Educate to Mitigate Hazards – July 26-27, 2018

The 2018 Wilmington Safety School is set for July 26-27 at the Wilmington Convention Center, a state of the art convention center located by historic downtown Wilmington’s famous riverwalk and convenient to Wilmington International Airport (ILM).  The event is also conveniently located about 30 minutes from area beaches (Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach). Registration for both attendees and sponsors/exhibitors is now open.

Keynote Speaker: John Formica, the “Ex-Disney Guy”

John is a highly sought after internationally known speaker and author.  In this Keynote session, John will present, “Making Relationships Magical!”  You will learn how to communicate, connect, be more likable and memorable to others in 30 seconds or less.  You will learn to create relationships and build loyalty for life.  These skills are paramount to successfully give the knowledge to identify hazards and working together as a team to mitigate hazards.

General Session: Jack Jackson- The Bad Side of Town

Have you ever noticed how being on the bad side of town heightens your awareness level? Whether you’ve had a bad experience, or by reputation alone, there’s an overwhelming urge for self-preservation.

Explore the signs that you are on the bad side of town at work when it comes to injuries and use the tools provided in this session to manage those states.
