Leaving a Safety Legacy
Wylie Davidson, Motivational Speaker and Safety Culture Specialist

With over 10 years in the safety world, coupled with 20 years in management, Wylie Davidson has seen both sides of what an effective safety culture looks like, and his insight resounds with his audience. His ability to energize audiences while getting them to rethink their own personal safety values has been an effective resource with hundreds of companies at facilities all over the US, Canada, and Mexico. His unique ability to add fun and humor to a safety message have made him a desired speaker with companies looking to reset their own safety culture or to give a charge to an existing one. 

Having spent the last 5 years traveling the country both professionally speaking as well as working with companies to help create, grow, and sustain effective safety programs has made a tremendous impact on Wylie. Seeing firsthand the impact that a presentation can do for someone has been his driving force in continuing this journey.

How can your workplace authentically grow and/or change to meet these broad standards and what does diversity and inclusion mean in terms of harassment, discrimination and accommodation laws? What are some strategies employers can use to keep their humanity visible, meet their legal obligations to fight employee discrimination issues and ensure their business is inclusive?
