Pacific Safety Center is Not Affected By Closure of BC Safety Council
We were saddened to hear today that our friends and neighbours, the BC Safety Council, ceased operations as of 3pm Thursday October 15. After over 60 years of service and dedication to the cause of reducing injuries and accidents in BC the economic climate proved too much for them to overcome. The work they have done has saved countless lives and they deserve all our thanks. But there has been some confusion about the closure of the BC Safety Council and it is important to point out that the Pacific Safety Center Ltd is not, and has never been, part of the BC Safety Council. All Pacific Safety Center Ltd programs, conferences and services are completely unaffected by the closure of the BC Safety Council. The Safety Committee Conference, running November 16, 2009 and the Western Conference on Safety, running April 12 & 13, 2010 are both solely operated by the Pacific Safety Center Ltd and will be running as normal.

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.
