Testimonials
Attending the Safety Conference at NICC last year was incredibly valuable—not just for me, but for my entire company. One session in particular, led by Lisa Schaefer on the stigma of mental health in the workplace, was so impactful that I arranged to have her bring the training to our facility this spring. There were so many practical takeaways. It’s a must-attend event for anyone serious about workplace safety and well-being.

NICC put together a great safety conference last year. The keynote speaker did a great job of demonstrating what could happen if safety is taken for granted by not following procedures. Attending this conference is worth the investment.

Attending the first NICC Safety Conference was extremely valuable, offering the perfect balance of breakout sessions that inspired me to advance safety culture within my organization and provided meaningful professional development content. The keynote speaker reinforced the importance of focusing on the details that make a big difference in safety. I look forward to this year’s conference and strongly encourage anyone in the safety industry to attend.
