AGENDA
PLEASE NOTE THE TIMES ARE EDT
WEDNESDAY – NOVEMBER 11
11:00 AM One Just One Split Second, It All Changed!
Troy Nix, Executive Director
Every seven seconds, a worker is injured on the job! That is 510 injuries per hour, 88,500 in a week and over 4,600,000 injuries a year. These numbers are staggering, and the worst part is that each one is preventable. With this being said, how can leaders work better to ensure that each employee is alert, not taking shortcuts such as ignoring safety procedures, and most importantly, not dropping their “mental” guards? During his opening keynote presentation, Troy Nix will share lessons learned from how one split second impacted not only his teammate but his life forever.

11:30 AM Critical Incident Stress Management
Kimble Richardson, Community Health Network – Behavioral Health
When an event, or series of events, is dramatic, sudden, shocking, and overwhelms regular abilities to cope, it is called a critical incident. Studies have shown that early psychological intervention prior to and following a critical incident can help employees remain healthy and in service. Sometimes talking with a peer who understands your job and works culture can be essential to creating buy-in for participating and healing. Critical Incident Stress Management is a comprehensive, integrated, systematic, and multi-modal system of crisis intervention that can educate preemptively and offer emotional support during or post events.
