About the Industrial Safety Seminar INJURIES ARE COSTLY According to statistics released by the Saskatchewan Workers Compensation Board, there were 22,742 accepted workplace injury claims in Saskatchewan during 2017, including 17 fatalities. Each of these incidents incur huge costs for businesses in Saskatchewan. With each passing year, the average cost associated with each injury and fatality increases. Saskatchewan businesses have been preventing more injuries than ever before by making investments into health and safety. More importantly, the psychological and physical costs workers and their families sustain are reason enough to ensure that your work environment is as safe as it can possibly be. It is for this reason the Saskatchewan Safety Council created the Industrial Safety Seminar. WHAT IS THE INDUSTRIAL SAFETY SEMINAR? Industry has known for many years that safety doesn’t cost - it pays! Started by a group of concerned individuals, the aim of the conference was, and is, to provide safety professionals in Saskatchewan a forum to discuss areas of common concern. Since 1974, the event has grown to become Saskatchewan’s premier safety show and one of the largest events of its type in western Canada. The 46th Annual Industrial Safety Seminar will feature 29 educational sessions with speakers from Saskatchewan, Canada, and the United States. It will also feature one of the largest displays of safety equipment and services in western Canada, with 116 display booths. The 46th Annual Industrial Safety Seminar will take place on February 4-6, 2019 at EVRAZ Place, Regina, Saskatchewan. WHO WILL ATTEND THE INDUSTRIAL SAFETY SEMINAR? The Industrial Safety Seminar, although aimed primarily at business and industry, is open to anyone interested in safety. Average attendance in the past three years was over 650 dele- gates representing Safety Managers and Professionals, Occupational Health and Safety Com- mittee Members, Supervisors and interested small businesses and individuals. Delegates represent a large cross section of Saskatchewan industries including mining, utilities, oil & gas and construction, Provincial and Federal regulatory agencies, crown corporations, and private companies. The Industrial Safety Seminar is an excellent opportunity for new or experienced safety practitioners to attend professional development sessions with experts on a variety of current safety related topics. It is also an opportunity for all those interested in safety to network with like-minded people, while expanding their safety knowledge.

Greg Johnson - Risk Assessment and Management
As the first person to live-stream a tornado in Canada, Greg Johnson
has had the type of career that most people only dream about. In
2015, Greg was selected as one of Canada’s top 100 explorers.
Building a legacy for your family, your business and your community
requires hard work, vision and sacrifice. However, none of it would be
possible if you aren’t around to enjoy it. Every news reporter knows
getting the story is important but getting back out to TELL that
story is more important. Greg uses the metaphor of storm chasing
to relate the message that situational awareness, preparation and
implementation are the real keys to success.
Greg will take you on an emotional journey as he shares his stories
and experiences. Taking risks in life is important, but there is a
difference between taking risks and being reckless.
Greg Johnson, one of North America’s top professional storm-chasers and severe weather
experts, is also an accomplished photographer, speaker, author, workshop leader and
recently a television personality with the CMT series, Tornado Hunters. After graduating from
Canada’s renowned Acadia University, Greg founded a leading communications, marketing
and advertising firm from the ground up. He decided it was time to devote himself full-time
to pursuing his passion for capturing nature’s most beautiful and deadly displays of severe
weather.
Using sophisticated weather-tracking technology, his ability to read severe weather patterns
and a team of dedicated sidekicks, Greg has put over 200,000 km on his Tornado Truck,
intercepting and documenting hundreds of storms across the United States and Canada since
2011 alone. His recent experiences include documenting and compassionately sharing the
aftermath of the massive twisters that devastated Joplin Missouri, Moore Oklahoma and El
Reno, Oklahoma. Greg’s skills are now being retained by the outdoor festival industry to
assist organizers in ensuring their large crowds are kept safe from sudden and severe
weather risks. He also lends his extensive knowledge to organizations who wish to educate
their outdoor working crews on severe weather safety and protocol.
Greg is the author of the Blown Away, A Year through the Lens of The Tornado Hunter, a best
seller and gold medal award winner for design. He recently published a second book entitled,
Why is the Sky Green? which is already gaining much respect in the photography community.
A firm believer in the “Bucket List” philosophy, Greg’s mission is to inspire others to chase
their own passions. When he’s not storm-chasing or speaking, Greg enjoys life at home in
Regina, Saskatchewan spending time with his three children, and of course - cheering for his
beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Dan Demers - Cannabis is Legal. Now What? How
to Safely Manage the Impact of Legalization in Your
Workplace
Cannabis in the workplace is a rapidly growing and highly contentious
issue, especially for employers who operate in safety sensitive
environments. The Canadian Government has legalized cannabis for
non-medical recreational use, in 2018.
The topic of cannabis accessibility and consumption is sensitive,
complex, and highly polarized with issues and implications for health
and safety. Employers have questions about how to respond to this
new landscape. What changes are necessary to current policies and
procedures? What if employees’ recreational use off-duty affects
workplace performance? Are you ready for this unprecedented
change? What do you do if you are not? This session focuses on
helping employers to understand the changes, the implications for
health and safety, and to provide an “urgent response” solution to the various challenges in
safety sensitive industries.
Plan to attend this informative keynote session and bring your questions.
Dan Demers is a recognized international speaker and authority on the Canadian and
international landscape of cannabis. Mr. Demers serves on the executive team of CannAmm
as the senior manager responsible for educating Canadian employers on fit for duty best
practices within occupational safety programs.
Mr. Demers’ commitment to lifelong learning is rooted in science and supplemented
through executive education. His international presence and commitment to best practices
demonstrated by serving on the Substance Abuse Program Administrators Association
(SAPAA) International and Government Relations Committees, and International Forum on
Drug and Alcohol Testing (IFDAT) Legal Committee.
Dan’s dedication to his community and the pursuit of a safer workplace pursued by serving
on the board of directors, as president-elect, for SAPAA and the board of his local community
Food Bank. By providing trustworthy information, tools, and best practices for occupational
testing, Dan seeks to achieve his mission of sustainably ensuring more workers make it home
to their families.

Judy Croon - Relieve Work-Related Stress with
Humour
Stress is a major cause of most illnesses, and humour is an amazing
way to relieve it. Harvard studies show that when you are stressed,
your brain shrinks. However, when you laugh, you relax; and when
you relax, you learn.
This hilarious and inspirational session explores seven stress-
relieving ingredients: a positive attitude, perseverance, forgiveness,
teamwork, family and friends, mental activity and physical activity.
In this keynote session, you will learn how to cope with information
overload, how to appreciate the incredible medical benefits of
humour, discover how happiness is a mindset, increase your chances
of surviving a heart attack by five times and increase your lifespan
and quality of life by laughing.
Judy Croon is a comedian, motivational speaker, radio host, Second City stand up coach and
author.
She has worked with many celebrities including; Jon Stewart, Lewis Black, Robert Klein and
Joan Rivers. Her specials have appeared on NBC, CBS, CTV and The Comedy Network.
She is a co-author of ‘From the Stage to the Page: Life Lessons from Four Funny Ladies!’
Judy draws from her standup performance experience to entertain, inform and inspire in her
dynamic keynote entitled, ‘Relieving Work Related Stress with Humour’.
Judy is the creator/host of ‘Laughlines’ and ‘Stand Up For The Girls’ which have both helped
raise over $650,000 for breast cancer research.

Shawn Kanungo - Strategy in a World of Disruption
The way we thought about business was formed by a set of ideas
and practices about how things worked during the industrial
era - linear, incremental and somewhat predictable. In today’s world,
it’s becoming difficult to understand how to play in this disruptive
era - dynamic, exponential and unpredictable.
Disruptive innovation is forcing everyone to reimagine their
organizations. How will this impact employers and talent? How will
this impact the future of safety?
In this awe-inspiring talk, Shawn explores how we can no longer
focus on just productivity, but rather, focus on being bold, brave and
experimental. He also debates on how we balance speed with our
desire for safety, stability and well-being.
Shawn Kanungo is a strategist who operates at the intersection of creativity, business, and
technology. He has been recognized nationally and globally for his work in the innovation
space after 12 years of working at Deloitte. Shawn’s mandate at the firm was to help
corporate executives to better understand and plan for the opportunities and threats
associated with disruptive innovation.
Now, as General Partner of Queen & Rook Capital, Shawn is focused on applying exponential
technologies and new business models to mature businesses. He is a practitioner who
has worked hand-to-hand with hundreds of organizations on their journey to digital
transformation, and he has adopted the concepts of behavioural economics, user-centered
design, crowdsourcing, artificial intelligence, drones, and film to help create world class client
experiences.
Shawn’s work and interviews have been featured in Forbes, The Globe and Mail, The
Guardian, CBC and CTV. In 2016, he was recognized as Avenue Magazine’s “Top 40 Under
40”. He spoke at TEDx in 2017 and was named to Inc’s “100 Most Innovative Leadership
Speakers” in 2018. His podcast, The Remix with Shawn & Wang, can be currently found on
iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher.Session and Speaker Highlights

Commercial Driver ELD: How Technology Can Improve Road Safety
Sean Mustatia & Andrew Cipywnyk

non-compliant devices.
Transport Canada, the provinces and territories through the Canadian Council of Motor
Transport Administrators worked cooperatively to develop the technical standard for ELDs,
ensuring consistency with the US ELD rule wherever possible. On December Dec 16, 2017,
Transport Canada published Canada Gazette I, Regulations Amending the Commercial
Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Regulations (Electronic Logging Devices and Other
Amendments). Stakeholders were given 60 days to provide comment.
Since CGI, Transport Canada, the Provinces and Territories have been working to update the

Are Your Customers Trying to Kill You?
Gary McDougall
Ballroom B
Enhancing employee safety through situational awareness: In this 55-minute interactive and
engaging presentation you will explore the four various categories of potential violence in the
workplace. These include: violence from people who have no legitimate relationship to your
workplace yet are seeking to commit an offence such as theft, robbery, assault or abduction;
violence perpetrated by customers or patrons who are unhappy with the organization;
violence perpetrated by current or former employees and violence involving domestic
situations spilling into the workplace.In addition, Gary will present and discuss a “profile” of the potentially violent person which
includes gender, an age range, drug use, decline in productivity and absenteeism among
other factors. This module will include specific physical and verbal behaviours that indicate
possible escalation or other factors that should “raise a red flag”.
The concept of situational awareness will be explored which involves employees being
mindful of things going on around them in an ever changing and dynamic workplace. Gary
will offer a 5 stage module that outlines the various stages of situational awareness, which
includes: tuned out, relaxed alert, focused alert, high alert and comatose.
The concept of intuition will be presented, as understanding the patterns of human intuition
can be of significant benefit in the context of mitigating workplace violence. In the final
section of this presentation, Gary will provide information for all employees on how to
pre-plan their own personal immediate action plan in the event something occurs in their
workplace. This will include a simple three step strategy to employ in the event a situation of
potential violence occurs.

Workplace Vitality:
A Fresh Approach to Empowering Wellness
Jana Danielson
Meeting Room 1
According to Morneau Shepell, in 2015 the cost of absenteeism to the Canadian economy
was $16.6 billon while the cost of presenteeism was $124.5 billion. These numbers are
staggering and although there is not one main reason for these stats, businesses need
to understand that the mental and physical wellbeing of their team needs to become a
priority. Making this a priority will turn workplace wellness into a strategic business benefit
if implemented correctly.
Many organizations have a well-rounded health benefits program, offering a discretionary
health spending account or a discounted gym membership. Workplace wellbeing needs to be
more than this in order to gain the strategic advantage it can offer.
During this session you will learn pragmatic strategies on how to educate and inspire your
workplace to implement simple wellness shifts that will pay big dividends in quality of life of
your team!Jana Danielson, MBA, is a wife, mom to 3 teenage boys, a self-proclaimed wellness
champion and the owner of Lead located in the Sutherland industrial area of Saskatoon.
Lead is Saskatoon’s premiere Integrated Health and Wellness facility. Home to over 80
weekly Pilates-based fitness classes that make you sweat, strong, stretch and move, Lead
has your body covered whether you are new to movement and exercise or are looking to
take your fitness to the next level. Their clinic offers Chiropractic, Naturopathic Medicine,
Massage Therapy, Physiotherapy, Clinical Counselling, Reflexology + BodyTalk and Mental
Health Services. Their goal is to educate, inspire and move the clients and patients that
walk through their doors everyday to become better versions of themselves. They become
your personal wellness team and with online booking, direct billing and tons of free parking
they help to make your life more efficient.
Jana’s passion for integrating movement and therapies has expanded from her brick and
mortar studio and clinic, to a newly launched online wellness platform called Metta District.
A Guide to Effectively Reviewing Incident Reports
Tricia Gibney
Meeting Room 3
In this session Tricia will go through points on the history of incident reporting, impact of an
incident, cost of an incident, what should be reported, reporting requirements – internal and
external (sharing internally and externally), establishing and mentoring a reporting culture -
benefits, cost saving, learning/sharing, moral obligation, classification of incidents, and case
management (injured worker, family, co-workers & organization). The more that you read,
the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
Closing Comments with a Q&A
Tricia Gibney has been in the role of HSE Supervisor with PCL Saskatoon District since
September of 2008. Her current job duties include assisting with the implementation,
monitoring and improvement of the PCL Health, Safety and Environment program on

engineering capacities within water and sewer construction with the CoS, at a uranium mine
during phase one of construction, and as a lab technician at an asphalt refinery.Supervisor Competency/Frontline Supervisor
Eldeen Pozniak
Ballroom B
This session will help you understand supervisor competencies and tasks that are common
across multiple occupations, versus the specialties that set them apart.
Inadequate supervision could lead to injury or death and can result in hazards. Supervisors
are the employer’s representative on a project. Their responsibilities include monitoring the
project’s progress and ensuring workers’ health and safety.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) defines a supervisor as a person who has
charge of a workplace or authority over a worker. This is a broad definition that can apply to
many different people in a workplace, including people in management, on the shop floor, in
a bargaining unit, and individuals whose job title does not include the word “supervisor”.
Having a competent supervisor on site is one of the keys to reducing fatalities and injuries in
any industry. Occupational Standards establish clear, objective benchmarks of the skills and
knowledge required for workers to perform in a particular occupation. In other words, they
list the competencies a fully experienced worker can perform on the job.
Eldeen, a Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP), a Certified Health and Safety
Consultant (CHSC), a Certified Health and Safety Management System Auditor (CHSMSA),
a Fellow of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (FIIRSM) and a
Chartered Member of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health in the UK (CMIOSH).
Eldeen is committed to a Safer World of Work. Her commitment is demonstrated by her
25 plus years of experience and involvement as an advisor and consultant to various
industry sectors, government organizations, and businesses, and as lecturer at educational
institutions. It is also shown through her involvement and volunteer positions in safety and
health related associations.
Due to her commitment and professionalism, she has received a regional and national
Safety Professional of the Year award in Canada. She has been honored by the ASSE in
their publication – 100 Women making a difference in the safety, health and environment
profession and her induction into the Saskatchewan Safety Hall of Fame. In May of 2017 she
was honored with an invitation and by attending the RoSPA celebratory Tea at Buckingham
Palace.

cultural maturity model that helps organizations benchmark and monitor their cultural
development, and which can be applied in your organization following the session. Using
Nutrien’s safety journey as an example, we will explore the concept of Safety Leadership,
and how leadership actions and behaviours can be firmly embedded into safety processes
known to reduce serious injuries and fatalities.
Additionally, participants will be introduced to a concept to rapidly transform safety culture
by introducing new processes which take no longer than 15 minutes per day. Participants
will walk away from this session inspired to improve and mature their safety cultures, with
new tools to support their organizations.

Workplace Safety in a Complex Policing Environment
Chief Evan Bray, Regina Police Services
Meeting Room 3
Workplace safety is a priority for organizations worldwide. In many cases, safety in a
workplace focuses solely on the actions of the company’s employees. In other situations,
there are a myriad of outside influences that greatly impact safety. The Regina Police
Service is a great example of this.
Emergency service organizations are constantly vigilant to safety risks that exist for their
employees. The Regina Police Service works with diligence to minimize the risk and reduce
injury through training, environmental controls and policy development.
This discussion will focus on some of this work and some best practices that the RPS employ
that focus on the safety and wellbeing of the members.
Chief Evan Bray has 23 years’ experience with the Regina Police Service having worked
predominantly as a front line uniformed police officer in Regina’s Central and North districts.
For many years, Evan was a Drill Instructor at the Saskatchewan Police College as well as
a team member and leader on both the Crowd Control and the Crisis Negotiator teams. He
was also involved with the Regina Police Association, the Saskatchewan Federation of Police
Officers and sat on the Canadian Police Association Board of Directors.
Evan has been involved in numerous charities throughout the years and is currently
assisting in the development of a community strategy to end homelessness in Regina. His
wife Jodie is a school teacher in Regina, his son Cy is a police officer with the Saskatoon
Police Service and his daughter Ella is training to become a paramedic.
Having previously worked in radio and for 13 years as the Public-Address Announcer for the
Saskatchewan Roughriders, Evan is a fantastic communicator and speaker. Join us as he
shares some of the challenges he has faced and the leadership principles that brought him
success.Holy Cow! We’re Having a WCB Safety Management System Assessment..

Impairment Testing: A Case Study of New Technology
Greg Adamietz & Ken Ricketts
Meeting Room 1
Alertness and impairment data from traditional lagging indicators like drug testing and
employee screening are of little use when it comes to staying ahead of accidents. This
revolutionary system stays one step ahead of alertness risk by testing employees as they
clock-in and providing key alerts right when they matter most.
At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter why an employee’s alertness isn’t tip-top,
what’s important is keeping them, and your site, safe. That’s why we created this unique
tool, to let the businesses of today stay one step ahead of reduced alertness and workplace
impairment to save lives.
Learn how impairment testing can save money and lives.

Save Yourself From a Confined Space Emergency
Steve Wallace
Meeting Room 2
A Confined Space rescue is an often complex ordeal, with many individually moving parts
that need to be coordinated and synchronized like a fine watch. Like the proverbial gears of a
watch, if any one gear gets out of time, it throws the whole works into chaos.
Confined Space work is not your average type of operation. It requires plenty of forethought,
specialized gear, careful execution, and when things go wrong, an extra level of attention to
detail to ensure the safe rescue of workers. And as you can probably guess, it also requires
specialized training to properly plan and manage these difficult operations.
This session will help you answer key questions when it comes to confined space
emergencies.
