Smarter Contractor Safety. Better Investigations. Safer Operations.


Contractors play a critical role in many organizations, but managing contractor risk requires more than pre-qualification. It demands ongoing performance management and the ability to learn from every incident. Join NAEM, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and VelocityEHS for a regional summit focused on practical strategies to strengthen contractor safety programs and improve incident investigations.

Hear how Takeda approaches contractor safety, from selecting qualified contractors to monitoring performance in the field. Then explore modern incident investigation methodologies that move beyond identifying what happened to uncover why it happened. Doing so enables organizations to implement effective corrective and preventive actions that reduce the likelihood of future incidents.

This event also includes a networking lunch, a facility tour, and an interactive roundtable discussion where EHS professionals can share challenges, exchange ideas, and discuss best practices with peers.

Designed for EHS and operational leaders, this event offers practical insights, valuable networking opportunities, and actionable takeaways to help organizations build stronger contractor partnerships, improve incident investigations, and create safer, more resilient operations.
