9:15 AM - 10:00 AMHuman and Organizational Performance on the Waterfront with Jeff Lyth, QSP Leadership
Despite industry being statistically safer than ever before, serious accidents still occur too frequently and the current safety paradigm is increasingly at a loss to identify, understand, and remedy the causal factors.

In addition to this, injury rate reductions have largely plateaued and this causes much concern for all levels of the organizational hierarchy.

In this presentation, Jeff will describe some of the reasons behind these challenges and propose that our current ways of thinking about health and safety might be a part of the problem.

He will then explain the history of the so-called 'new views' of health and safety, focussing on the practical application of more contemporary safety science.

Finally, Jeff will provide examples from some of the work he has been involved with on the local British Columbian waterfront, as well as with other large industrial organizations around the world.

How do educators design meaningful learning environments where information is presented in multiple ways; where learners engage in learning in a variety of ways; and where learners are provided options to demonstrate their learning? Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that guides the design of learning environments that are accessible and challenging for all learners, ensuring purposeful, proactive attention to learning design, goals, assessments, methods, and materials. In this session, learners will be exposed to the concept of UDL and will explore how it can be applied to design and implement learning that is accessible for all.
