A House in the Sky

In 2008, Amanda Lindhout traveled to Somalia — a country often called “the most dangerous place on earth”. Early on in her visit, she was abducted by a

group of masked men along a dusty road. Held hostage for 460 days, Amanda now shares her message of forgiveness, peace-building, human rights, and education. Amanda’s multiple-award-winning

memoir of her experience in Somalia, A House in the Sky, has been on The Globe and Mail’s “Top Ten Bestsellers” list for a record breaking three and a half years and has been optioned for a film by Hollywood production company Annapurna Pictures (Zero Dark Thirty, Her, American Hustle, Joy, Foxcatcher) with Oscar-nominated actress Rooney Mara playing the role of Amanda, the movie’s release is expected in 2018.

United Breaks Guitars – The Power of One Voice in the Age of Social Media

Our closing keynote will look at today’s shifting landscapes in terms of the power of social media. After United Airlines

broke Dave’s guitar in checked luggage, he was the first upset airline passenger to show how one person, armed with creativity, some friends, $150, and the Internet, could turn an

entire industry upside down. In his humorous and enlightening presentation, Dave describes his process and shares the global implications of his video in the areas of social media, branding and customer experience as a backdrop to a deeper message: that we are all fundamentally connected, that simple changes in your perspective can inject caring into your business, and that an organization founded upon ‘compassionate design’ makes for a happier, more productive, and more profitable environment.

Brain-Centered Hazards: Risks and RemediesDavid Musgrave, Vice President, Brain-Centric Reliability™ System, Dekra Insight

Despite human factors research progress, human performance errors in the workplace continue to commonly occur, increasing operational risk, causing loss of process control and, all too often, injury. Essentially, organizations are one misaligned action away from serious injury or public catastrophe leaving many safety professionals and other operations leaders wondering how to reduce exposure to human performance error? This session arms participants with recent developments in applied neuroscience and explains why human performance errors occur. Gain an understanding of what ‘internal hazards’ leave us susceptible to error and related results, and develop a plan to address the significant exposure and related risk that the Human-Centered Hazards™ Matrix presents in the workplace. “It’s time to take control of human performance error using a systemic approach to inoculate against unplanned events.”

A Primer on Workplace Violence PreventionMaja McGuire, B.Sc., MLT, CIC, Director, Infection Prevention and OHS Wellness, North York General Hospital

Historically, workplace violence in the hospital setting was viewed as a workplace hazard and part of the job. Addressing workplace violence is about much more than focusing on physical safety or preventing injury to staff, it is about strategies and attitudes that foster the development of a healthy workplace and creating environments that are calming rather than agitating. Learn more about successful approaches to addressing and reducing workplace violence, that require creating a culture that thoughtfully promotes and supports safety.

Risk Assessment Redefined: Going Beyond the Traditional Safety ToolboxJorge Mitre, P.Eng., APEGGA, Industrial Director, Tenaris

Complexity in workplace dynamics and risk assessment are growing continuously, bringing new challenges to companies and employees every day. Increasing safety performance requires us to look for more complex and sophisticated tools, due to limitations of traditional approaches. Enriching our toolbox can allow us to become more efficient in designing safer work environments.

Visual Literacy: How ‘Learning to See’ Benefits OHSJohn Dony, Director, EHS & Sustainability National Safety CouncilJoy Inouye, Research Associate, Campbell Institute National Safety Council

Visual literacy has gained traction in the workplace as a skill/tool to identify hazards that could lead to safety incidents. This presentation will provide background and preliminary results of a research collaboration between the Campbell Institute and the Toledo Museum of Art to demonstrate how visual literacy relates to OSH.

Effective Inspections: Longo’s Road to ImplementationSimon Kaplansky, MBA CHRL, Occupational Health and Safety Leader, Longo’s & Grocery GatewayToni Volpato, CRSP, Consultant Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)

Injuries and illnesses are costly to employers and employees alike. For employers, there are not only direct costs (such as Ministry of Labour fines or WSIB surcharges), but also indirect costs such as paying substitute workers and loss of production. This session will highlight Longo’s implementation plan, challenges along the way and the success they are now sharing.

WSIB ‘Claims Suppression’: New Compliance Issues and Employer Penalties: What You Need to Know and Why Laura Russell, B.Sc., CRSP, Paralegal, CompClaim A Consulting Practice of Mathews Dinsdale & Clark LLPJulie Weller, Associate Lawyer, Mathews Dinsdale & Clark LLP

More than a year has passed since the WSIB legislated compliance provisions regarding ‘claims suppression’, but do you know what it is and whether your workplace is demonstrating symptoms of it? In addition to potential charges against the employer (provincial offenses), the administrative penalty provisions came into effect January 1, 2018. As a result, the WSIB has developed and piloted its Administrative Penalty program. Workplace parties may unknowingly be participating in practices that breach these provisions. In light of the changing legal landscape and increasing focus on claims suppression, it is imperative that employers, workers, and unions understand how to navigate WSIB claim reporting in a manner that avoids even a perception of suppressing WSIB claims.

What Rocks and What Sucks with Employee RecognitionVera Asanin, President and Publisher, Your Workplace (sponsored by Kimberly Clark Professional)

Making people feel valued is cheaper and easier than you might think. Giving someone a watch for sticking around for 30 years seems like an outdated practice in this day and age. Especially given the fact that the majority of employees won’t stay at an organization for five years, let alone 30. Recent research shows that 69% of the organizations surveyed cited increasing employee engagement as their top objective. However, when you look at what actually drives engagement, it’s being appreciated, having your manager recognize you’ve done a good job and feeling that your organization appreciates you—things that are all better achieved through manager-to-employee or peer-to-peer recognition than long-service rewards. Why is it that some organizations continue to suck at recognition while other totally rock? Learn more at this session.

Process Safety Management (PSM) is a management system that manages the hazards associated with chemicals during the manufacturing, processing, storage, transportation and use in the workplace. In 2017, CAN/CSA Z-767-17 Process Safety Management was developed by members of the Canadian Society of Chemical Engineers (CSChE) PSM Division who acted on the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Technical Committee. This principles-based standard is meant to bridge the gap in legislation by offering guidance on how PSM can be implemented across industries where chemicals are handled or stored. In this workshop we will discuss the basic principles of process safety management and then review the key points of CAN/CSA Z-767-17. The goal is to share and discuss ways in which PSM can complement an established OHS management system to enhance safe operations in the workplace.

Workplace Harassment: Managing Evolving Enforcement and Obligations Jeremy Warning, Partner, Mathews Dinsdale & Clark LLP Deanah I. Shelly, Associate, Mathews Dinsdale & Clark LLP

Workplace harassment obligations in the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act expanded in September 2016 with prescribed requirements for program development, investigations, and the reporting of investigation outcomes. However, there was not an immediate evolution in enforcement measures by the Ministry of Labour. That has now changed and Ministry Inspectors are conducting active enforcement that can create challenges for employers. This can include requiring employers to produce the entirety of their investigation and to detail the discipline imposed on a perpetrator when reporting to the complainant. In this session, experienced occupational health and safety lawyers, including a former Ministry of Labour prosecutor, will discuss these developing and challenging enforcement practices and provide practical tips and practices to respond to them. The session will also discuss best practices for conducting an investigation that is appropriate in the circumstances.

NEW: Guideline for Working Around Overhead WiresGeorge Minow, Health Safety and Wellness Manager Kitchener Wilmot Hydro The highest incidents of electrical fatalities are by far from contact with overhead equipment. With an increase in electrical contacts by non-electrical workers, education is needed to keep workers safe around electricity. There is a lot of legislation around this, but little training for those who work outside of the electrical sector. If you work in outdoor construction or maintenance this session will provide you with initial training to recognize hazards and assess if more measures need to be taken.

Apps for Noise: Just a Screening Tool or is it More Than That?Warren Clements, Occupational Hygiene Specialist Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)

In this day and age it isn’t surprising to see that there are now apps that are trying to replace a traditional measuring tool for noise, a Sound Level Meter (SLM). The attraction is that these apps are either free or low cost, making them accessible to anyone, but are they accurate? What about standards providing guidance to measure noise? Who might use the app and why? If you do use an app, should considerations be made to make it more accurate? Together we will explore a few of these issues and compare the use of an app against measurements taken with a SLM.

High Risk Management for Your Own Employees AND Contractors: Not Totally There Yet?Anne-Sophie Tétreault, Eng., Lean Master, Cognibox

Significant progress has been made over the last decade in reducing injury and illness of contractors. But fatalities and severe incidents have not followed the same rate of decrease. Why? Large corporations in high risk industries are tackling the problem for their own employees, with success. But this is where the challenge lies: good practices that worked for internal staff need adaptation to the reality of entities and individuals that are outside a corporation’s internal channels of communications and systems.

Healthy Workplaces: Research Responding to Workplace Needs Marie-Hélène Poirier, Knowledge Transfer Advisor, Institut de recherche Robert Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail (IRSST)

There has been considerable research on nursing staff; however, much of the knowledge gained from these studies has never been transferred to nurses themselves. To this end, a practical tool was developed to give nurses and managers strategies for the application of preventive practices. Further research with adolescents with learning disabilities shows they are particularly vulnerable in terms of OHS because they have manual jobs and are inexperienced, making it harder to learn about OHS. Under the WOTP program, the instructors ensure that risks present during the training do not compromise the learning process and health of students and help them develop OHS skills.

Too Much of a Good Thing: Can You Go Overboard with Operational Discipline?Alfonsius Ariawan, Global Implementation Architect DuPont Sustainable Solutions

Typically, doing things the ‘right way’ is often interpreted synonymously with adhering to procedures. While adhering to procedures is certainly an important characteristic of an Operationally Disciplined culture, it is not the only one. Often

neglected is the characteristic of being ‘risk sensitive’. Over-reliance to procedures without being risk aware have been shown to contribute to the problem of blind trust. It erodes an organizations confidence with the belief it has built a disciplined culture. In this presentation, we share our experience in combating such problems by relying on simple tools and engagement strategies to build a culture that is truly operationally disciplined.

The topic of marijuana access and its use is sensitive, complex and highly polarized with issues and implications for health and safety. With the projected legalization of recreational marijuana less than six months away, employers have questions about how to respond to this new landscape.

Policy is the foundation of a drug-safe workplace. Policy missteps are unfortunately easy to make and often costly. This workshop will cover the essential components of a legally sound policy, the key organizational questions that need to be answered in this space, when to update your policy and when to replace it, as well as peer to peer dialogue focused on change management in your business. Policy is not just about paper; it’s about people and changing views and workplace culture.

This comprehensive workshop will help employers understand the coming change and its implication. How can the differences between marijuana and alcohol be accounted for in policy, practice and culture? The interactive content will help fast track your organization through this otherwise painful process and will leave you feeling clear, confident and ready for change. Participants will receive a policy template following completion of the workshop.

This two-day course prepares participants for the CRSP exam that is offered three times a year by the BCRSP (Feb, June and Oct). You can take the course with or without having first applied to the BCRSP. Some people take the course as a last minute review and others in order to develop a study plan. It is now advisable to take the course several months before the exam date.

Content includes: the process of applying to the BCRSP, studying strategies, techniques for answering multiple choice questions, what to do on the day of the exam and sample questions from the 9 BCRSP study guides. Participants receive manuals containing over 4500 study questions. Other CRSP prep materials summarize the study guides and therefore lose detail, and so are insufficient preparation. The 4500 study questions cover the details in the study guides. Participants also receive a Certificate of Attendance which is worth 2 professional development points in the application to BCRSP. This is the most widely used CRSP course in Canada.
