Safety - But why would I do that?
The amount of small, medium, and even large business owners that do not have a clue on the repercussions of not implementing basic safety in their workplace is scary. For some yes it may be a slap on the wrist (which may only happen since we are in Alberta) but for some it could mean jail time and/or large fines. Sure, Safety isn’t just for owners, it’s for workers too but the owners are the ones who pay longer term with larger penalties.
Which is where my passion and come drive in.
If I wanted to go work for the extremely large companies, I could and have. But what about the small to medium size companies who’ve maybe never been taught some basic and, potentially life saving, safety skills?
It’s simple for me – sharing is caring. Isn’t that what we teach our kids? I want to share what I’ve learned through experience. I want my audience to know they aren’t alone. Through my business is where you’ll get to know how you and your coworkers, employees and even subcontractors (if applicable) will get to know the basic requirements.
You don’t live in Alberta? No problem. Each province has their own OHS Legislation – its not rocket science. Sure, it’s a skill to learn but with the right coach and mentor, its less scary and more powerful.
Nelson Mandela said it right: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.
Each of us has our passion, have our business, have our knowledge – I want to share. I get a joy out of sharing. The joy really comes real when I get to visit my clients and I see them make the change. The change to improve and make themselves understand the law. OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) Handbook which is a minimum requirement in Alberta can be a scary thing. Business owners need to know it though. I can teach you and your team the parts that apply to your business, so you don’t have to sit there and rehearse it like a sacred book (even though it is a sacred book)
