Mark Maynard is Director, Construction Safety with STACK Infrastructure. He provides Construction Safety support to their data center projects in North America, as well as leads implementation of their Serious Injury & Fatality (SIF) Prevention Program with their contractors and vendors. With over 37 years of experience in health, safety, security, and environmental management, Mark specializes in high-hazard industries, including large-scale construction, heavy equipment operations, DoD, and DOE projects. He is a Board-Certified Safety Professional, Certified Member of IOSH, and Authorized OSHA Outreach Instructor with expertise in Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) prevention, and regulatory compliance. Mark has led initiatives to implement risk-based SIF prevention programs across diverse construction environments, helping organizations and trade partners reduce exposures and strengthen their safety culture.
Objectives:
1. Define Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) and distinguish them from other workplace incidents
2. Understand the common precursors and high-energy hazards that contribute to SIF events
3. Identify proactive methods to integrate SIF prevention into safety management systems
4. Explore real-world lessons learned and actionable steps to drive SIF prevention in your workplace
Every year, workplace injuries with the potential for being life-altering or fatal continue to occur, despite declining overall injury rates. This session will explore why traditional safety metrics often fail to prevent Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) and how a focused, risk-based approach can make the difference. Attendees will gain practical insight into leading indicators, high-energy hazard recognition, and proven strategies for reducing SIF exposure in construction and industrial environments.
