Agenda

 

December 3rd:

6:30 AM – 7:45 AM Breakfast
8:00 AM – 12:00 The 2025 UMA Safety Management Seminar will center on how companies can improve their internal systems and procedures to mitigate crash risks. The sessions will utilize a “hands-on” approach as we share our individual experiences to develop best practices.
The morning will open with a presentation of four unique National Transportation Safety Board motorcoach crash investigations, background, probable cause, and recommendations.
The next session will focus on the Safety Management Cycle and how to more effectively identify the various stages.
Participants will subdivide into “breakout groups” and be assigned one on the NTSB crash investigations. The group will discuss the various approaches companies utilize internally and create adaptable recommendations for avoiding similar crashes. Each group will prepare a summary and present to the larger group their unique findings and recommendations.
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Lunch
