Tourism & Hospitality Safety Summit

go2hr, BC’s tourism and hospitality human resource association, is pleased to host the industry’s 3rd annual Occupational Health & Safety Summit on August 21, 2014 in Richmond.   

This year’s theme is Understanding the dynamics between age and workplace health and safety.  In this interactive one-day session, speakers will provide trends and stats on workplace injuries related to the young and older workforce, dispel myths about the different generations and share industry-specific strategies and tactics regarding injury prevention and return to work for these two demographics.

Throughout the workshop, tourism employers will also learn about:

  • the proposed changes to their sector’s annual WorkSafeBC base rates;
  • incident and injury trends and stats within the industry; and
  • updates on go2hr’s Industry Health and Safety program, including the Certificate of Recognition (COR) program.

The Summit will be held on Thursday, August 21, 2014 at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, BC.  The cost to attend ranges from $0 – $150 depending on your type of organization. Companies in BC’s food & beverage, accommodation and ski sectors are eligible for one complimentary ticket per organization.
