Workplace safety isn’t just a checklist — it’s a cornerstone of a successful business. Join us for an interactive workshop that explores why safety should matter to every business owner, what really happens when workers’ compensation claims arise, and how CPR training can make the difference between a close call and a tragedy.

Our expert facilitators bring decades of experience and real-world perspective:
  • Bill Robertson, retired Fire Chief, will lead a powerful discussion and demonstration on CPR and emergency readiness that every workplace should have.
  • Chris Cahall, American Family Insurance specialist in workers’ compensation insurance and claims, will break down what employers need to know before — and after — an incident occurs.
  • Kelly Anderson, with over 20 years in workplace safety and health across multiple industries, will share practical strategies to build a proactive safety culture that protects both employees and bottom lines.
Whether you manage a small team or a growing company, this session will give you the tools and confidence to make safety a built-in part of doing business — not an afterthought.
