Managing Your Company Safety Culture: Resources to Evaluate, Enhance, and Improve It
March 9, 2023 | 10 am – 12 pm MST | IMA Denver Office
A robust safety culture requires a definitive commitment by top management, supervisor accountability for safety, and employee engagement. Having these three components working in tandem can lead to reductions in the frequency and severity of incidents and a reduction in total cost of risk. In this session, we will focus on three particular resources that IMA can assist you with: 1) Safety culture surveys – Have you ever wondered how to measure your culture? Learn how you can partner with IMA to evaluate the safety culture of your company. 2) Supervisor Accountability – Supervisor involvement is essential to the success of your safety program. But you need a framework to measure their effectiveness. Learn how to enhance your supervisor performance appraisal system using “leading indicators.” 3) Safety Leadership Training – In line with the supervisor accountability theme, it is essential to upgrade the safety leadership skills possessed by your supervisors. IMA has developed an 9-module Safety Leadership Program designed to do just that. We will provide an overview of this program.

What to Expect and How to Prepare for Energy Carrier Loss Control Visits
June 13, 2023 | 9:30am – 11am MST | Webinar
It is common practice within insurance for insurance carriers to insist on having a loss control inspection or visit. The inspectors are there to provide the underwriters to whom they report an “eyes-on” description of the insured exposure (property, general liability, fleet/automobile, and workers compensation) and describe the practices and risks they perceive. This visit is critically important to ensure coverage availability and affordability. In fact, a bad loss control visit can result in a declination to offer or continue coverage. Energy companies that deploy best-in-class risk mitigation tools often gain access to improved coverage options, higher capacity for loss limits, and improved premiums. If you’ve ever been involved in a loss control meeting with a carrier and it’s gone well, or not so well, or you’re likely to be involved in a future one, this training event is for you! This course will prepare you in how to plan for, participate in and respond to recommendations from a carrier loss control visit.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone within your organization who would be involved in a carrier loss control visit. Oftentimes this includes leadership within Safety, Operations, HR, Risk Management, Fleet and Procurement.
