Please take note that as this is broadcast of a live event, the session times are approximate. We will try our best to adhere to the schedule (all times are Eastern Standard Time (EST)) as follows:

8:45 am – 10:00 am
Keynote Presentation: Leading @ the Speed of Change – Jim Clemmer Leading is easy when things are smooth. It’s when the going gets tough that our leadership is truly tested — and most needed. How we respond — as Leaders, Followers, or Wallowers — determines our personal effectiveness and organizational culture.

10:30 am – 11:45 am
Session: Leadership Within the System – Dr. Julian Barling
The Canadian OH&S system is based on the principle of the Internal Responsibility System (IRS). This approach has been fairly successful over the past 30 years in reducing rates of injury and disease. It is also recognized that leadership and management commitment are necessary to acomplish significant impact in OH&S.

11:45 am – 12:15 pm
Panel Discussion: Employer and Labour Perspectives on Leadership and Responsibility – Frank Saunders, Cathy Walker
In this interactive session, panelists will share their observations and provide answers on the internal responsibility system, management commitment, and leadership, from the perspectives of employers and labour.

1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Session: Implementing Successful Participatory Ergonomic Programs: Opportunities and Challenges – Dr. Nancy Theberge
Participatory ergonomic (PE) programs which include the collaboration of workplace parties such as management, health and safety representatives, unions, supervisors and researchers in the research efforts are an increasingly important part of health and safety in many workplaces. These programs provide a valuable opportunity for workplace parties to collaborate on reducing work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

2:30 pm – 3:00 pm
Case Studies: Successful Implementation of Participatory Ergonomics – Dan Dubblestyne, Wyatt Clark
How can participatory ergonomics be successfully applied in the workplace? Two perspectives on this question are detailed in this session. One case is told from a management perspective at a manufacturer of polyurethane foam products. The other case is told from a worker’s perspective in the automotive industry.
