ProAct Safety CEO to Lead Technical Session and Professional Development Seminar at NSC Congress in Indianapolis

Shawn Galloway will present at the 2026 National Safety Council Congress, the world’s largest annual gathering of safety professionals

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, September 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ProAct Safety, a recognized pioneer of leadership and safety excellence strategies, announced the company’s CEO, Shawn M. Galloway, will lead two sessions at the NSC Congress and Expo. The conference will take place on September 11-17 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

Shared Ownership and Accountability: The Missing Link in Safety Culture (16 Sep 1:00-2:00pm)
Even great safety systems fail when people don’t buy in and a sense of shared ownership is missing. This session will explain why observable engagement that results in ownership, rather than just another policy, drives a lasting safety culture. Using evidence that many initiatives fade within months when frontline engagement isn’t present, we’ll contrast forced compliance with true shared ownership and introduce the Engagement Spectrum to measure where each of your employees stand. You’ll learn how engagement creates discretionary effort, why failed rollouts breed cynicism, and why frontline supervisors are the leverage point for aligning/influencing/evolving subcultures from shift to shift. You’ll leave with practical ways to measure engagement (not just incident rates), build trust and design initiatives that sustain momentum.

Safety Excellence Master Class (17 Sep 8:00am-4:30pm)
To adapt and thrive in a fast-paced and ever-changing world, organizations must develop and strengthen five capacities: System, Leadership, Engagement, Cultural, and Strategic. This tactical workshop thoroughly examines these five capacities and explores how they synergize to produce excellent, sustainable results. Attendees will be challenged to put the lessons into an executable plan for their organizations. This highly collaborative experience leads attendees on a journey balancing case studies with practical execution guidance. Does your organization have the capacity to produce sustainable excellence in safety performance and culture?
