VBF-Data Applications – WorkSafeBC – Nov 17, 2022
Today’s Virtual Breakfast Forum was very well attended, and guests had the pleasure of hearing from Adrian Cook – Manager of the Safety Culture and Leadership team at WorkSafeBC
Adrian’s comprehensive presentation was entitled: WorkSafeBC Data Applications – Powerful tools to help your organization understand its health and safety performance. WorkSafeBC has painstakingly created user-friendly, engaging, and interactive data applications to enable employers focus on improvement planning.
WorkSafeBC’ S data applications can help employers answer questions like:
- What activities lead to your industry’s most serious injuries? Who is getting injured?
- What are the most common issues/risks?
- How does your H&S performance compare to your peers
- What’s your prevention ROI
- How would your future ER performance look?
The applications provide a high-level overview of provincial trends, offering comparative displays to see how your industry’s performance compares with a provincial average but with a similar industry with similar activities and risk. Specific dashboards are designed to help understand serious injuries and risks that could occur at your site. Direct, searchable access to serious issue database searches to review serious incidents in your industry over the last 20 years, which will help to determine if the same issues could happen at your place of work.
As well as injuries and claims data, WorkSafeBC is sharing the common risks and issues through the lens of the orders that are written for prevention preparation. Knowledge of what others are experiencing is a great tool to help you with injury reduction and prevention.
Links to the tools reviewed can be found on WorkSafeBC’ S website, found HERE in one consolidated document.
There will be one more Virtual Breakfast Forum before the end of the year, on Thursday, December 8th. We hope you’ll join us to kick off the holiday season together.
