The Round Table brings together signatories from around the province to learn, teach and share experiences to build stronger safety cultures and help make BC the safest province in Canada to work in.
Katelyn will be presenting “Safety Systems on Trial: Criminal Negligence in the Workplace,” This session will trace application of Canada’s criminal negligence laws in the workplace – from the origins of Bill C-45, through the legal framework of organizational liability, to a survey of court decisions that show the real-world consequences for companies and individuals alike. The goal is to leave participants with practical takeaways for strengthening safety policies and training, as well as emergency management and incident response.
