CLINT MALARCHUKAuthor and Retired National Hockey League Goaltender

The Crazy Game: How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond

No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and as stress-ridden as that of an NHL hockey goaltender. Now

imagine doing that job while su� ering high anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and depression, and having your career nearly cut short by a skate slicing across your neck. Clint Malarchuk shares his extraordinary and heart-wrenching life story—which includes his long battle with alcoholism and almost ending his life by a gunshot to the head—in his relentless e� ort to help end the stigma of mental illness and to help others who may su� er as well.

LUNCHEON KEYNOTE 12:30 – 1:30 pm

SYLVIA YAEGER

Motivational Speaker and Comedian

Respectfully, Up Yours: How to Play Nice at Work

What makes a good workplace great? A culture of respect and cooperation! Work is the number 1 stressor reported by Canadians (along with fi nances,

closely tied in to work). For most, it’s not work load, type of work or work space, it’s relationships that cause stress at work. This interactive and collaborative presentation will focus on the old fashioned value of respectful treatment of others. We will explore practical and concrete ways to build a respectful, happy, engaged and supportive team of people who actually WANT to be at work. Bring these ideas to life to generate a workplace of happy, engaged and supportive team players.

Partners in Prevention 2015 SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO | 3


Critical Injuries: Fact vs. FictionRichard den Bok, Inspector, Ministry Of Labour (MOL)

Employers need to be aware of their duty to report under the OHSA. Employers have a duty to report any deaths or critical injuries to the Ministry of Labour for all people, not just employees. They also have a duty to preserve the accident scene until they get clearance from the Ministry. Understand the meaning of the words “person,” “workplace” and “an employer’s duty to report injuries under section 51(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (“OHSA”).”

High Visible Safety Janet Bewers, Consultant, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)

Traditional approaches to inspiring a safety culture typically fall into three broad categories: moral, legal and fi nancial consequences. Often this is done with one-time messaging in lecture format, which has proven to be without certainty and likely ine� ective. This session will discuss creative ways to advertise your health and safety programs and policies in order to promote an organizational cultural shift – and how you can implement some of these and create a safety “buzz” in your own workplace!

From Broken Limbs to Broken MindsAddie Greco-Sanchez, RRP, RVP, CVP, President, AGS Rehab Solutions Inc.

Mental health—a critical determinant of employee engagement and productivity—is one of the most pressing issues in the workplace. What is the best method to assess your employees’ ability to return to work when impairments exist in order to meet your Occupational Health and Safety obligations? In this session we will explore how a blend of science, online technology using BRAINscreen© and Psychological Fitness interviewing techniques objectively assess and promote Return to Work.

Five Generations in the Workplace:Communication Skills for TodayPatsy Marshall, President, Train on Track

Have you noticed the dynamics of your work environ-ment changing right before your eyes? Never before have fi ve generations worked side-by-side at the same time, making the need to understand generational

di� erences in communication preferences, behaviour, and company loyalty and work style more important than ever. This session will outline traits and characteris-tics of each generation and how best to work with, or manage, each generational group.

Supervisor Health and Safety SmartsChuck Leon, P.MM, CRSP, Sr. Technical Consultant, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)

Supervisors play a critical role in workplace health and safety, employee performance, and productivity. Understand the role of the supervisor and be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed, to competently carry out your essential role in the work-place. Group activities and case studies will give you the answers you need to test your knowledge with the “Jeopardy” challenge for Supervisors!

Best Practices or Legal Standards: How External Standards and Health & Safety Due Diligence Obligations IntersectJeremy Schwartz, Associate, Stringer LLP

External standards exist in every industry, whether they are widespread practices, expressed in OEM manuals, or enshrined as CSA standards. Some external standards must be followed. Others may be followed and relied upon as evidence of due diligence, while others carry almost no legal weight. Learn more about external standards expressly referenced in legislation and regulations, what the courts are saying about “industry practices” and manuals, and practical strategies on external standards.

Working at Heights: What Does the New Standard Mean to You?Dan Duko� , President & CEO, Safe-Tech Training

As an MOL-approved Working at Heights training pro-vider, we will discuss key components and requirements of the new W@H Standard for the Construction sector. Attendees will obtain a clearer understanding of who the standard applies to and be updated with the latest available information pertaining to the release of subse-quent standards a� ecting additional sectors. Safe-Tech will also provide you with the necessary knowledge to work safely with all types of ladders.

SERIES 19:00 – 10:00 am�CHOOSE ONE


Being Disciplined in the Art of Health and Safety EnforcementLori Nicholas, Consultant, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)

Showing due diligence may be used to defend against prosecution under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. But did you know that discipline is part of the due diligence process? This session will allow you to exam-ine enforcement and discipline practices that can assist in ensuring consistent and e� ective enforcement of your company’s health and safety program.

Spice Up Your O� ce Safety MeetingsGeorge Minow, Manager of Health, Safety and Wellness, Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro Inc.

O� ce safety can be a challenge to address on an on-going basis. How do you get o� ce workers to take safety seriously before they have an injury? Get some new and fun ideas for your o� ce safety meetings and learn about the issues that can and have arisen in the o� ce environments of our presenter over the last 25+ years of experience and networking in the province.

PPE: Cross Sector Respirator UseRon Campbell, President, Acute Environmental & Safety Services

The use of personal protective equipment, such as respirators, should be considered a last resort when e� ective engineering or administrative controls are not possible or not su� cient to achieve acceptable limits of exposure. Learn more about employer responsibilities, program requirements, fi t testing, health surveillance, and the various types of respiratory protection.

Emergency Management and Business Continuity Scott Hood, CET, BASc, CRSP, Consulting Services Manager – GTA, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)

You just had an incident! You called 911! Do you know what to expect? Does your Business Continuity Plan cover how to deal with the arrival the fi rst responders? This session will look at who typically responds to a 911 call and what to expect when they arrive at your location. We will also review the myths about what happens when the fi rst responders arrive and what your Business Continuity Plan should take into account for a 911 response.

Distracted DrivingClaus Wagner, Crime Prevention O� cer, City of Hamilton and Host of Q108 “Ask a Cop”

Distracted driving is cited as a causal factor in 30 to 50% of tra� c collisions in Ontario. But it is probably much higher due to under-reporting. Most drivers know they should have their full attention on the road but, in practice, many are not doing so. Research shows distracted drivers are three times more likely to be in a crash than those who are being attentive. Attend this session to learn the facts on being distracted while you drive for personal use or on the job.

Construction in an Industrial SettingLois Weeks, Consultant, CRSP, CHSCWorkplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)

Equipment and machinery are installed and moved regularly at industrial facilities. What you may not know is that this type of activity meets the defi nition within the Occupational Health and Safety Act as “construc-tion”. This session will help you identify the many tasks that are regularly performed at an industrial facility that are actually construction in nature, and what this means to your workplace. You will understand what a “constructor” is and what their responsibilities are.

Happy Hour Begins at 9 am!Sylvia Yaeger, Motivational Speaker and Comedian

Canadians report that work is their # 1 stressor! This presentation centers around creating a healthy life by focusing on happiness at work. We will deal with the infl uence of technology, competing demands from work and home (work-life confl ict) and relation-ships at work. You can transform your workplace into a happy, healthy and productive place to be!

5 Ergonomics “Must Have’s” for Ergonomic SuccessAlexandra Stinson, B.Sc., R.Kin, CCPE, Pro Ergonomics

A Google Images search for “Ergonomics” will quickly show you how overwhelming it can be to determine where to spend money on ergonomic products and services to maximize your success. This session will review 5 options that will put your company in the best position to successfully reduce claim costs, increase productivity and become compliant with industry guidelines and standards. Participants will leave with various tips, hints and tools on how to show the highest return on investment and foster a positive ergonomic culture at their work place while working within their existing budget.

Women, Work and the Workplace: A Discussion on Occupational Health & SafetyTammy Eger, Associate Professor, Laurentian University, School of Human Kinetics and Director of the Centre for Research in Occupational Safety and Health (CROSH)

Sandra Dorman, PhD, Health and Safety Liaison, CROSH and Associate Professor, School of Human Kinetics, Laurentian University

The presenters will discuss injury/disease statistics which highlight gender di� erences, as well as occupational health and safety challenges di� erentially a� ecting women’s health. These include MSD risks, sleep and fatigue, reproductive health risks, mental health concerns, and work-life balance. Information will also be provided on interventions, best practices, and innovative technologies.

Addictions in the WorkplacePatsy Marshall, President, Train on Track

Substance abuse costs Canada almost $40 billion a year in lost productivity, increased healthcare and the cost of police and other government involvement. Given the prevalence of substance abuse and dependency among employees and the devastating personal, social and economic e� ects, what can employers do to ensure they are meeting the needs of their employees while protecting the workplace from risks? Come prepared to learn, and share answers to this critical question.

Behavioural vs Belief Based SafetyMelissa Cowburn, Partner (Ontario) and Project Director, The Pacifi c Institute Canada

In this session, we will identify the factors getting in the way of achieving a ‘safety culture’. These factors can be grouped into four categories: Habits, Attitudes, Beliefs and Expectations (HABEs). Sustainable cultural change begins on an individual level by understanding how to change the habits, attitudes, beliefs and expectations that surround safety. All of these factors impact an organization’s e� ectiveness and must be addressed to realize sustainable change in safety performance.

Confi ned Spaces… Get the Facts! Brian Kovalcik, Operations Manager, Team 1 Academy

This presentation covers key items and common questions that every workplace has: rescue vs recovery, entry vs non entry. By now, most organizations have a pretty good grasp on their legal requirements when doing confi ned space work – or do they? Are you prepared to respond to an emergency? Ensure you have the right equipment for the right job, the correct number of sta� to provide an executable rescue, and that you are 100% aligned with respect to your policies, equipment, training, and liability.

Ryan Conlin, Partner, Stringer LLP

Scott Hood, Consulting Services Manager, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS)
