Flannery Safety Consulting Turns 8 Years Old

2 Replies

July 6 marks the eighth anniversary for Flannery Safety Consulting!

Time has flown by over the last eight years and many things have happened.

We have gone from a single client in the first few weeks to more than a dozen active clients here in the summer of 2023.

With the help of our association with BNI Key Connections, business has remained strong, and we’re so thankful for the opportunities presented to us!

We continue to invest in training and constant improvement.

We have attended the ACSA’s annual safety conference every year since 2013 (including virtual conferences in 2021 and 2022) to stay current on key issues in the health and safety industry. Ongoing training is a fundamental principle of the company, with a target for all staff to log at least 30 hours of training every year.

Flannery Safety Consulting remains committed to providing excellent service to our clients now and into the future.

Farms and Ranches Moving Forward in Response to Bill 6

While attending the Lethbridge Ag Expo last week, I found some great news at the Alberta Wheat Commission table: the government of Alberta is stepping up their educational program for farms and ranches, coming out of the changes from the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act, better known as Bill 6.

The ministry of Agriculture and Forestry now has a FarmSafe Alberta page up with tons of good information on topics such as keeping kids safe and links to the SafeFarm newsletter.

Most importantly, information can be found there on one- and two-day workshops being held around the province in the next few weeks giving people information on how to put together a safety program that will comply with provincial Occupational Health and Safety legislation. This program is also being promoted by several key industry leaders: the Alberta Wheat Commission, Alberta Barley, Alberta Pulse Growers, and the Alberta Canola Producers Commission.

The workshops are free to attend and could be an outstanding opportunity for people struggling to figure out how to deal with the new OHS requirements to be given some clear direction on what they need to do to comply with the legislation.
