We have received a number of calls asking if there are still
seats available. The answer is YES! Over 525 people have already

Proof that despite these often challenging economic times,
occupational health and safety continues to be a high priority
in many Canadian organizations. There is still space available

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.
