Several months ago I had the opportunity to present the Business Case for Injury Prevention to the staff at the Electrical & Utilities Safety Association (EUSA). On May 31, 2010, I was invited to present the Business Case at EUSA's Annual General Meeting in Huntsville, Ontario. EUSA has created a legacy of 95 years of safety leadership, and they've come a long way on their journey towards reducing the injury rate and impacts for their stakeholders in the electrical and utilities sector.
I had a great time presenting to this crowd - and Safe Saskatchewan's Business Case was well received! Staff and EUSA representatives saw the potential for human and financial cost savings right away through the extension of injury prevention efforts beyond their workplace and into the off-the-job lives of their employees, their families and their communities. So too has an exponential return on investment been proven.
