We will explore how to accomplish legislated safety tasks and best practices to create a safer workplace, and provide simple tools you can add to your workplace safety program.

Safety Connection: Develop a Traffic Management Plan and Reduce the Risks

Join us for an insightful webinar led by Norm Kramer, a specialist in Warehousing at Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS). Many workplaces have pedestrians walking near mobile equipment and trucks in the yard, increasing risk of struck-by incidents. The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) is currently conducting a Material Handling campaign with the goal of reducing these types of incidents in the workplace.

This Safety Connection will support companies to develop their own traffic management plan, by systematically examining struck-by risk and developing programs to reduce this risk. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn a step-by-step approach, which supports participants to apply learnings at their workplace.

Safety Connection: Managing Young Workers - What Every Supervisor Needs To Know

Have you ever looked back at something you did as a teen did and thought, “What was I thinking?”. You aren’t alone. Teen brains really do see risk differently. But did you know that research demonstrates the most predictive key performance indicator for reduced young worker injuries is their frontline supervisor? This session helps managers lead with insight by understanding the psychology and physiology that contributes to young worker risk. Participants will leave with evidence-based strategies for effectively tailoring risk messaging for younger audiences, build virtuous communication cycles that support working relationships, and learn why saying “my door is always open” isn’t enough.
