Century Plaza Hotel, 1015 Burrard Street – Vancouver, Salon A – Times 0830 – 1700
Facilitated by Stuart Doyle, Training Coordinator, SureSafe Management Solutions Ltd.
Feedback from Industry and Transport Canada Inspectors suggests that there is a distinct lack of knowledge and understanding of the Risk Management component of SMS.
This one-day, risk-management workshop of theoretical and practical work, offers participants a solid understanding of the concepts of hazard and risk, and why the consequences rather than the source should be assessed. Participants will also explore ways to mitigate risk, will build their own Hazard Registry and Safety Risk Profile, and learn how to use this technique to strengthen their Safety Reporting System and Quality Assurance Program.
Participants will receive course materials and a certificate of attendance.
