ABOUT THE SESSION

This session is intended to openly discuss challenges of health and safety as our country continues to diversify and open its borders to newcomers into industry.

Many newly landed residents come with minimal health and safety knowledge and experience, especially if the organizations they work for have had no ethical approach, or any decent supervision to support Occupational Health and Safety.  

As employers, managers, supervisors and workers. Statistics demonstrate one in four are likely to be harmed in their first month to work without orientation training. How do you convey the message of safety to someone who can barely understand our national languages?

We need to be better as health and safety professionals, as coworkers, supervisors and employers. Everyone deserves to go home no matter where they come from, and many newcomers are prepared to do anything their new employers want to ensure they have enough to provide for their families. Is there a simple answer or how far do we need to go to accommodate? What are are our duties and responsibilities? We can explore some of what works and what doesn’t, the why’s, and use collective approaches throughout our organizations to reach the goal of minimizing injury and fatalities in our workplaces throughout the session.

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Why is Working Alone one of the greatest risks to Employee Safety that often gets ignored?

Join us to learn more about the hazard most of us face every day, and yet one that often we as employers do the least about. Most employees work alone, often for hours per day, but it’s a hazard that often is overlooked during the development of a comprehensive and complete safety management system (SMS).

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Several scenarios that you could find yourself in, and the risks you or your employees could face when Working Alone.
2. You’ll learn about Manitoba’s and other provinces’ Working Alone Legislation, their impacts on employers in many different industries, and the legal consequences if people are not protected.
3. We will also cover three key areas critical to managing this hazard and highlight what employers can do to reduce risk and meet the regulatory requirements.

In summary – How do we ensure timely is provided to someone working alone or in isolation. This session will provide you with a good understanding of Working Alone legislation and the steps to take to not only protect your business but more importantly, protect your employees! Note: Electronic handouts/ informational content video will be available and can be shared with participants by providing a valid email.
