Technical Safety BC Annual Report 2024

In today’s Virtual Breakfast Forum, members and guests heard from Kate Baillie, VP Marketing and Communications at Technical Safety BC.  Kate shared that they have launched their safety report called The State of Technical Safety in the province of BC 2023.

Kate shared a few incidents that occurred in 2023, and discussed what led to those incidents.

A few questions were posed for the members, including :

  • How do you assess the decision-making and communication of supervisors at your own organization?;
  • what controls do you have in place to ensure the more junior employees are instructed and supervised properly?; and
  • how do you ensure that employees know that timely communication is important for safety? And how do you ensure they feel safe to call out potential risk?

Members had a very interactive conversation around these questions, citing examples from within their own organizations.

Thank you Kate for the wonderful presentation. This session was recorded, for any members to review at their leisure.

The next VBF will be on July 18th, with a presentation from Trace Acres of Road Safety at work.
