Presentations and Presenters
Leading with Safety, Professor Andrew Sharman
Learning Objectives
- Share practical ways to ‘create safety’ and set the right tone.
- Shares the ’Four Es’ which are essential to bring about an evolution of your approach to
workplace safety and create a culture of care in your organization .
How do some leaders seem able to naturally and effortlessly be able to influence the attitudes and behaviours of others? How can operational leaders actively drive a positive step-change in safety culture? And what does every leader need to know to ensure that all workers go home without harm every day?
These questions, and more, are answered in this keynote session where Dr. Sharman shares the ‘keys to safety excellence’ (which are explained in the book Mind Your Own Business: What your MBA should have taught you about safety).

Dropped Objects Prevention, Don Medeiros
Learning Objectives
- Learn about the frequency of recordable injuries/fatalities
- Learn more about how dropped object hazards impact the workplace
- Understand the various methods and equipment for preventing tools and other objects from falling in the first place
Objects dropped from height can result in severe personal injuries, equipment damage and tool loss — yet these dropped object hazards are often overlooked in planning for workplace safety. In this session, attendees will learn how to implement drop prevention solutions by applying the fundamentals of personal fall protection for people, to that of fall protection for tools.
CSA Incident Investigation, Peter Sturm
Learning Objectives
- Learn about the leading incident investigation standard and how to integrate it into their own investigation program.
- Learn how to build a successful incident investigation program with insight from the CSA investigation standard and guide book.
- Be able to participate in a live and interactive Q&A session.
A Perfect Pair: Workplace Incident Investigations and an International Standard U.S. companies pay more than $1 million a week for workplace injuries. In Canada 921 workplace fatalities (2020) which includes 75 fatalities in the transportation warehousing industry. There are over 253K lost time injuries in Canada. So, it’s no wonder why workplace incident investigation is a high priority among safety leaders and executives. However, not adhering to a recognized standard is a recipe for poor investigation results.
Join Peter Sturm, chair of the CSA Incident Investigation Standard CZA Z1005-2022, as he walks you through the development of the leading-edge standard and how it can assist your industry.
Understanding Pressure Hazards & Real-World Work, Robert Waterhouse
Learning Objectives
- Reflect on the hazard of pressure in the participants’ work
- Understand complexity as it relates to pressure and real-world work
- Build capacity into safeguards to fail safe
The death of an oil and gas worker led to a milestone in the journey to build industry’s capacity to manage pressure.
