By September the IEC hopes to have a collection of recent incidents where nobody was hurt, but the potential was very high for a fatality or serious injury.
Watch for a communication about the launch of this new capability in the IEC database!

Here is a copy of this calendar:
JAN: Annual Safety Refresher
FEB: Rights & Responsibilities
MAR: WHMIS
APR: TASC & Observation Based Safety
MAY: Heat Stress & Ergonomics

These initiatives were chosen based on the 2015 Injury Reports which showed a large number of injuries were to hands and fingers as well as many injuries from slips, trips and falls in icy winter conditions.
As a result of this good work, resources have been made available to all Members through the IEC database Portal. These resources include:
These materials would help enhance your safety programs already in place or reinforce the kinds of safety measures that would help reduce injuries in the future as we get back into winter conditions. Videos will soon be added that could be used in safety meetings and for other learning opportunities.
Special thanks to the plant personnel who have made this material available to all the of the Safety Partnership members!
