SafetyCulture takes a closer look at how teams can achieve extraordinary things in this new world of work.

When unpacking the structure of success, you’ll frequently find that greater heights are reached working together than working in silos. COVID-19 has been one of the most challenging periods for businesses, but it also demonstrated the power of teamwork as leaders and team players rallied together in the face of disruption and unpredictability.

Here’s the thing – more often than not, self-made success is a myth. A single person doesn’t own a successful outcome, they’ve earned it right alongside their teammates. And successful individuals don’t just take credit, they give it.

Today, we’re still in uncharted waters. New variants and waning consumer confidence lurk in the mind of every business owner. In short, there’s never been a better time to broaden our outlook in order to enhance operations in this new world of work.

Arm yourself with unique perspectives and practical insights at the SafetyCulture Summit 2021: Made Extraordinary, a global event designed for teams in operations, safety, risk, and quality. This event brings together an incredible lineup of speakers as they draw from diverse lived experiences.

Made Extraordinary is headlined by NBA superstar Magic Johnson, world champion athlete Diana Nyad, Lieutenant General Nadja West, and #3 CEO in the world Bob Chapman. The free event is set to inspire working teams around the world, delivering bold vision and hands-on tactics in equal measure, drawn from the diverse lived experiences of global and local leaders.

Broadcast live from Las Vegas, we’ll explore the structure behind success, innovation and the power of everyday teams.

SafetyCulture Summit 2021: Made Extraordinary

October 27-28, 2021

Introducing the Made Extraordinary speaker lineup:

Earvin “Magic” Johnson | The Magic of Winning
Often regarded as the best point guard of all time, LA Lakers’ Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s achievements include three NBA MVP Awards, nine NBA Finals appearances, 12 All-Star games, and 10 All-NBA First and Second Team nominations. After his retirement, the HIV survivor pivoted his success from the NBA court to highly affluent business ventures.

Diana Nyad | Never Give Up
Long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad gained national attention in 1975 when she swam around Manhattan. In 2013, Diana motivated millions when she, on the fifth attempt, achieved her lifelong dream of becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida. On the beach, after over 50 hours of non-stop swimming, Diana declared to the cheering crowd: “We should never ever give up”.

Nadja West | Leading Through Uncertainty
A trailblazer in leadership, Lieutenant General (ret) Nadja West is the 44th Army Surgeon General and the former Commanding General of US Army Medical Command. She is the first African American woman 3-star General in the Army’s history and holds over 20 years of experience in executive leadership, crisis management, and disaster response.

Bob Chapman | Truly Human Leadership
Bob Chapman is Chairman and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, a $2.5B global manufacturing business with 11,000 team members. Over the past two decades, he has pivoted from traditional management practices towards Truly Human Leadership – a people-centric approach focused on employees feeling valued, cared for and an integral part of the company’s purpose.

These headline speakers will be joined by Deep Water Horizon survivor Caleb Holloway and QHSE leader Gary Bonnett to share their crises and safety experiences.

Doors and walls play important roles in facility safety and work zone separation, as well as cold chain integrity. High-speed fabric roll-up doors are becoming more popular across all types of industrial facilities due to their forklift-friendly safety design. A forklift collision with traditional, bi-parting doors can lead to driver injury, product or equipment damage and costly downtime due to repair. Fabric doors allows them to withstand forklift impact and snap right back into their tracks – greatly reducing both downtime and energy loss as compared to traditional doors.

Cold storage facility managers are also becoming increasingly aware of the energy-efficiency benefits of high-speed doors as opposed to slow moving traditional doors. In addition to food, they are highly applicable for keeping pharma product within heavily regulated set temperature levels mandated by government agencies. This awareness shift is taking place globally, with the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) recognising the importance of high-speed doors. Its 2015 edition includes a revision to Table C402.4.3, which describes the maximum air infiltration rates for fenestration assemblies. As a draft copy of the table notes, their fast cycle times (up to 2.5m per second) minimises air exchange, which is a key part of reducing overall energy
losses through a door opening.

Blast freezers present their own unique set of door challenges. Also known as “shock” freezers, blast freezers are widely used in the food industry to quickly freeze everything from TV dinners to fish to ice cream. Unfortunately, these massive blast freezers present a threat to in-plant safety for employees and equipment. The size, pressure and frost build-up in many blast freezers often makes the insulated panel doors very cumbersome to move. In some cases, these large doors (which can be as a large as 7m by 7m) have become so heavy and hard to open that employees have resorted to dangerous methods to open them, such as using a forklift. When left open even a crack, these doors can waste large amounts of energy.
