Join Energy Safety Canada for an in-depth look at the latest findings from the Annual PSI Report – November 2025.

This webinar will explore key trends in potentially serious incidents (PSIs) reported in Alberta’s oil and gas industry, including the prevalence of repeat events and the effectiveness of follow-up actions. We’ll also introduce new analytical approaches, including the Insights Impact Assessment Score, which helps identify patterns in repeat PSIs and highlight where different learning approaches may be needed.

Using examples related to exposure to electric current and caught-in incidents, the session will illustrate how this data can inform more focused prevention strategies. Whether you're a safety professional, supervisor or industry leader, this webinar will provide practical insights to strengthen your prevention efforts and improve safety outcomes.
