WARNING - We received several phone calls this morning from our Western Conference on Safety exhibitors informing us that a company called “ Convention Housing Services” is calling Western Conference on Safety exhibitors and representing themselves as a booking agency for hotel guest rooms at the Western Conference on Safety. THEY ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WESTERN CONFERENCE ON SAFETY nor the Pacific Safety Center in any manner whatsoever. We have NOT provided them with any contact information. We have checked with the Hyatt Regency and they have informed us they are not holding any guest room blocks for any such organization. Given that we have never heard of them before today and that we cannot say who Convention Housing Services are, we suggest you exercise caution and do your own due diligence before providing any credit card information to them.

Getting permission to attend a conference these days can be challenging. Here are 4 key benefits that we suggest you use to convince your boss that you should attend:

1) Demonstrates that even in challenging times On-The-Job Safety is still a top priority in your organization.
2) Workplace accidents are expensive! They not only hurt people, they damage product and process machinery. This conference will help save money by giving you the tools needed to keep your accident/injury incidents as low as possible.
3) Helps build morale by doing something positive in these tough times.
4) Attending even 1 day of the conference can satisfy WorkSafeBC’s Annual Safety Committee Training Requirement.
