Safety Stories for Executives
State of Technical Safety update a hit!
Thank you to Kate Baillie for updating the Council on “The State of Technical Safety”. Her presentation began with a prototype checklist to help determine how an event can be judged, which led into a discussion on other check lists that members use.
Kate presented 2 case studies, one on a boiler issue where there was a lack of training, and the other was a water park issue that had a disastrous outcome. Both were situations of bad decisions making matters worse. The case studies were recorded and put into the video library so they can be viewed by members when needed.
Members were also updated on the “Top 5 Safety issues” from their perspective:
- Carbon Monoxide
- Gas line strikes (Digging up)
- Ammonia release
- Electrical fires
- Electric shocks
Remember: Never sacrifice for time, money or your reputation.
