Reduce Risk, Increase Productivity
PMMI's Risk Assessment - PackSafe Training will educate attendees on how to conduct a risk assessment and identify competitive advantage with two days of hands-on traning using PackSafe software.  The events will teach attendees how to use the risk assessment process to identify and evaulate hazards and evaluate and reduce the risk associated with the hazard. The goal is to have attendees leave with completed risk assessments based on their own examples and an understanding of how safety relates to productivity. 

Added Value
How a company deploys risk assessment determines if it's an added cost or added value, which is why part of the second day of training is dedicated to understanding how risk assessment is deployed to gain a competitive advantage.  Attendees will review deployment methods used by other PMMI members, along with their challenges and successes.
