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.
