Dear OHS Professional:
The most powerful legal advantage your OHS program can have is to be able to prove due diligence
But how do you prove due diligence? What does the law require? How have due diligence thresholds changed in light of recent court rulings and OHS prosecutions?
More importantly: what are today's best techniques for integrating proven due diligence practices into your OHS program?
Join Canada's leading OHS professionals at OHS Compliance Summit 2010 and you'll get the practical, "how-to" help you need to immediately improve your OHS due diligence practices and strengthen your OHS program.
In a day and a half of intensive learning, demonstrations, and expert guidance, you'll find out how to prove due diligence and reduce legal and regulatory risk for your OHS program, your organization, and your key officers, directors and supervisors.
You'll get practical "how-to" help to reduce, or even avoid, fines, penalties and perhaps even criminal prosecution if a major safety incident occurs in your workplace.
Plus, you'll get cutting-edge updates and analysis of the latest trends and developments in OHS compliance and you'll network with Canada's leading safety professionals, OHS lawyers, government regulators, and other OHS experts.
Practical "Nuts and Bolts" Compliance Solutions
OHS Compliance Summit 2010 is Canada's leading compliance conference for one reason: you don't just find out what the law says about due diligence. You find out what-to-do and how-to-do-it to integrate proven due diligence practices into your safety program and polices.
Our Keynote speaker this year is, Howard J. McGraw, Chair of the Governing Board of the BCRSP, and Director, OH&S, Maple Leaf Foods Inc. who will give participants detailed insight into his history of implementing successful OHS management systems across multiple plants, and multiple cultures, during a period of rapid growth. Almost all of the plants acquired were poor safety performers, high on the radar of local safety enforcement authorities. He will show you how his commitment to accountability and his "dare to be transparent," strategy developed over a decade ago, have guided the establishment of a well communicated and unified OHS culture.
But that's just the beginning. In a day and a half of intensive learning, you will:
Participate in an interactive "anatomy of an OHS prosecution" to find out step-by-step what happens when the government decides to prosecute for OHS violations ... what factors the prosecutors evaluate ... what you should do now to make sure your organization is protected
Ask questions and get practical, "real world" answers to your compliance and due diligence questions from lawyers and other safety professionals who have been actively involved in OHS investigations, prosecutions, and the creation of effective OHS management systems
Get proven tools, including best practices, model polices, checklists, and other ready-to-use help you can use to immediately improve your OHS program
