This is my last post for 2012 – then I’m taking a little time to relax with the family before I’m back in the new year. I’d like to leave you with some safety tips for dealing with a key aspect of the Canadian winter – snow – which can be excellent or annoying, depending on what you are trying to do in it.
I stopped by the BC Safety Charter Roundtable in Vancouver on Nov 29 and heard an interesting group exercise. Dr. Graham Lowe, speaking on leadership and trust, asked his audience of CEOs and senior managers “to write down two simple actions you will take this week to build trust” with their workers. Then he asked for volunteers to read them aloud.
By now, readers in Northern BC have probably seen two new TV ads about workplace safety from SHARP (Safety Health Awareness Research Program). One of the ads deals with lockout and other depicts the risks posed by working under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Not everyone understands what it’s like to lose a loved one. I do – and that’s why I want to tell you about the efforts of Metro Vancouver’s Steps For Life organizing committee and volunteers who help families left behind after workplace tragedies.
