Managing Critical Work
About the Critical Work Video Series and Facilitation Guide
On March 31, 2021, a tragic incident during excavator maintenance resulted in the death of one worker and serious injury to another. These devastating losses directly led to the creation of the Managing Critical Work initiative.
Built through a creative sentencing agreement with the Government of Alberta, the initiative shares lessons learned through practical, evidence-based tools designed to strengthen how critical work is planned and carried out. The video series helps better identify high-risk tasks, control hazards, and ensures wrokers are supported in dynamic environments.
