Looking to improve safety and production in your organization? The WorkSafeBC Human Factors team is partnering with the UBC School of Population and Public Health to present a four-day conference that explores the application of resilience in complex, high-risk settings. Resilience teaches leaders to learn from past events, anticipate challenges and opportunities, and monitor short- and long-term developments. Resilience is a proactive systemic approach that explores what goes right — as opposed to what went wrong — as a way of improving safety and quality.
