SSM SAFE Work Conference
The Safety Services Manitoba SAFE Work Conference is a must-attend event for safety and health professionals.
Each year, we unite exciting keynote speakers, expert presenters, a dynamic tradeshow and hundreds of safety and health professionals from across Canada.
Together, these professionals share new ideas and strategies for promoting employee health and safety.
Thanks for a Great Conference!
We had a sell-out crowd for Safety Within Success Throughout: Safety Services Manitoba SAFE Work Conference 2012 - thank you to every delegate, exhibitor and presenter who came out!
It was great to meet so many of you at our trade show booth, during meal breaks and throughout the conference. Thank you to everyone who shared your feedback through Twitter, an evaluation form or an email after the conference.

2012 Highlights
David Erl, Director of Occupational Health and Safety, keeps events moving along as the MC.
"The conference is always very well run – kudos to the organizing committee. The food is always amazing – one of the highlights of the conference! I attended the second day, and got to enjoy the Mexican meal that had been prepared. It was a treat! All the best as you plan for the 2013 Conference. I’m sure you will again see several representatives from our company."

"Thank you for a great conference. Richard Hawk was worth the price of admission. Food, hotel staff and organization was fantastic. The only concern I heard, and I know it has become a trend for most seminars, was the lack of handouts. A point form handout with room to write questions etc. would have allowed the participants to retain more of the information presented. You should all be very proud of the success of the 2012 conference. Well done."
Richard Hawk gets the conference off to a great start with his first keynote - "Great Leaders Make Safety Fun."
"This was my first time attending your conference. The two seminars I registered for (Harassment and Violence in the Workplace, and Bud to Boss) were both excellent. The facilitators were very good. The conference facility was well-suited and easy to access from out of the city. Lunch was very well prepared and delicious. The conference was well planned and well staffed. The parting gifts (vehicle safety kit) and draw gifts (Jets paraphernalia) were unexpected, but a nice touch. Thank you!"
Judy Murphy, President and CEO of SSM, greets delegates on the first morning of the conference.
"You always put on an excellent conference. It is always well run, with excellent topics. This year, the session length of one hour was much better, but we found that the break time was too long. We had already had refreshments, and walked through the vendor displays, and still had time left over. We wondered why we couldn’t have kept the break times the same and let out of the conference earlier. It makes a difference for our group, because we have to drive 1.5 hrs to get back home."
Sylvia Yaeger tells delegates "The Prize is Life," in her keynote speech Wednesday afternoon.
