Session 2A
Job Safety Observations (JSO’s)
JSO’s have become one of the key tools in a safety program. Often done by either safety committees or supervisors, they form part of an effective Due Diligence/safety system. This session will explain how to use formal job safety observations to review procedures, observe safe work performances and document the process from start to finish.
Speaker: Jim Moroney, CRSP

Session 2B
Musculoskeletal Injuries: The Most Common (and Challenging) Problem for Safety
The most common type of injury is a MSI (Musculoskeletal Injury), making up approximately one-third of all incidents. This session explores the answers to some common questions: What are the risk factors? How does the body work? What is repetition? How can I properly investigate an MSI? How can I prevent a MSI?
Speaker: Isabel Krueger, CRSP, Safety Matters

Session 2C
Risk Communications
You’ve discovered a hazard that needs to be discussed with someone– what’s the best way to discuss it? How do you avoid making the situation worse, and instead have the highest possibility of successfully addressing and resolving the situation? This session will answer these questions and provide methods of helping people understand risk and develop systems and behaviours that minimize exposure to the hazards.
Speaker: Terry Duncan

1:00 – 2:30pm

Session 3A
Workplace Safety Inspections: Secrets to Doing Them Right – Every Time!
Are you happy with how your safety inspections run? Do they achieve the results you want and need? Looking for tips on how to make them better? This session is for you! A great session for safety committees, supervisors or anyone responsible for performing safety inspections.
Speaker: Terry Duncan

Session 3B
Slips, Trips & Falls: The 2nd Most Common Cause of Workplace Injuries
Slips, trips and falls are the second most common reason for worker injuries. Find out why these incidents occur, discover the underlying causes that get often get missed during the investigation process, and hear about preventative measures to stop them.
Speaker: Isabel Krueger, CRSP, Safety Matters

Session 3C
Violence Prevention Programs: Do You Need Them in Your Organization?
Fast becoming one of the highest profile and most important components in any organization's safety program, Violence Prevention Programs extend beyond just those organizations who deal with the public, and now include worker to worker, supplier to worker, in short, anywhere people interact.
Speaker: Jim Moroney, CRSP

2:50 – 4:30pm

Closing Keynote Presentation
Dr. Art Hister
Dr. Art Hister is a daily health analyst on Global TV, as well as the author of two best-sellers: Midlife Man and A Guide to a Longer and Healthier Life. Using humour to discuss and debate the evidence that healthy lifestyle adjustments improve all measures of health, he will address issues around lowering the risk of life-limiting chronic illness and premature death, and lowering — perhaps even reversing — our inevitable aging.
Speaker: Dr. Art Hister
