The Canadian Society of Safety Engineers (Alberta Chapter) and
The Manufacturers’ Health and Safety Association
are proud to announce an evening Dinner Lecture presented by Dr. Peter Strahlendorf.
Issues in Accident Theory
This light hearted approach to dealing with a serious and relevant issue to all of us, no matter our industry shall be presented Friday, October 24, 2008 following a three course meal. The Royal Glenora Club is honoured to host this Dinner at 5 PM in the Braemar Room, located at 11160 River Valley Rd, Edmonton.
“Our beliefs about how accidents happen have a tremendous impact on how health and safety gets done. Disputes about the best course of action to bring down risk are often really disputes about accident causation. Are we looking for one best accident theory or are there many different but valid models that can be used? We tend to use accident theories when we are investigating an accident -- but can they be used in a proactive way? These and other issues will be discussed. “
Dr. Strahlendorf is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Occupational and Public Health at Ryerson University in Toronto.
