Safety Reconnect
When is it?
Safety Reconnect can take place any time. It can happen once a year, for a day or a week, or on a monthly basis. To help align industry, Energy Safety Canada suggests sometime in the month of January, but choose the time frame that works best for your organization. The important thing is you make time for safety – no matter when that might be.
Where should leadership host it?
The work site location is entirely up to you. Some leaders choose plants or permanent sites, while others visit temporary sites . The best advice is to go where you will have the greatest impact.
Do You Have to Shut Down Your Operations?
It is not necessary to shut down operations. However, if you do choose to shut down the operation you visit for an hour or a day, that helps to reinforce your safety commitment to frontline workers.
