- 3. The Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC is the not-for-profit health and safety association for BC manufacturers and food processors. More than 3,000 employers use our our online and classroom training and confidential advisory services to build programs that reduce costs and protect workers. The Alliance is also the Certifying Partner for the Occupational Safety Standard of Excellence (OSSE)—the Certification of Recognition (COR) program for manufacturers.
- 4. Workplace injuries and occupational illness hurt.
- 5. Any business operator would be devastated to have a worker seriously injured or killed on the job. To break the news to the worker’s family. To face the damage to their company’s reputation. Injury rates overall are trending the right direction in BC manufacturing. But more than 400 injuries still happen in BC workplaces every day. In 2017, BC employers reported 152,912 injured workers 198 fatal accidents

Editor's Notes
- In most organizations, a brand ambassador “kit” is a mix of key messages, maybe some case studies, possibly a social media guide...typically focused on web and social interactions. When Lisa and Gavy originally asked me to put together a brand ambassador kit for the board, I thought about the information you might need, and how you might use it. I still think we have an opportunity to create a simple video introduction to the Alliance that you can share with someone as a simple introduction. And in the meantime, we do have some videos on YouTube that give a good flavor for the services the Alliance offers – and the potential impact. But what came to mind was the idea of a conversation with someone over coffee – and a tool you could use to walk someone through the story of the Alliance – who we are, what we do, why they should care – in a few minutes. And once you’re comfortable with the content, would be a message you could adapt and embellish with your own story and examples and questions to make it a more personal conversation. This little ring-bound book is intended to lie flat on the table between you and a friend or associate while you talk through that story in bite-size pieces. Kathy created a PPT version of the guide initially as a mockup for your feedback...but we included a copy of the slide deck on a USB flash drive for you as well in case you ever want to share the same story in a larger group setting. Let’s go through it now, starting with the cover: Cover: A simplified shared goal. Get on the same page and introduce what’s in it for them.
- Green: When you open the book, the first two pages start with the benefit: Get the help you need. Then a brief introduction to who the Alliance is, and what we do.
- Industry-led and nonprofit Our stakeholder relations team would add the word "confidential" We help more than 3,000 BC manufacturers and food processors build and certify safety programs Why? To protect workers and help businesses reduce related costs. Also the Certifying Partner for OSSE – the Occupational Safety Standard or Excellence (COR for manufacturers). As tempting as it may be to dive into talk about rebates and cost savings, unless the person is asking, save that for later. Because as rational as we all think we are, it's emotion that drives change.
- Teal: So the next two pages lay out the problem we’re trying to solve: It's a personal, emotional appeal that most people relate to –
- I've heard almost these exact words from members who've had this experience, or who just never want to. And then a small amount of data to support the scale of the problem in our province. We'll have updated numbers in July from WorkSafeBC, but in their most recent annual numbers for 2017, BC employers reported 152,912 injured workers and 198 fatalities.
- Sea Blue: When we turn the page, we can start to support that emotional appeal with a basic business case for workplace safety. Ethically, morally, and financially, safety is responsible business.
- Safety is a key human factor in sustainability. And in our current business environment, safety is a key factor in: Your workplace culture: recruiting, retention, employee engagement and morale. Which leads directly into your financial performance: including improved productivity, less sick time, lower premiums, and avoided penalties. Safety can also impact brand reputation significantly for the positive—based on employee word of mouth or active promotion of OSSE certification, for instance—and in an instant, a serious injury or fatality can be devastating to a brand.
- The blue pages outline the impact of working with the Alliance in terms of injury reduction & financial benefits.
- Investing in safety systems pay dividends: From a prevention standpoint: Companies engaged with the Alliance for 5+ years have experienced 50% fewer lost-time injuries. And of course, that has important business impacts: in employee productivity, engagement, attendance and retention. In addition, with safety systems improvements and OSSE certification, members can save hundreds or thousands more each year-- earning a 10% rebate on their WorkSafeBC premiums and an Experience Rating discount of up to 50%.
- And as we turn the page to introduce OSSE, what’s your level of confidence in your safety program today? Again, these pages combine emotional & business appeals.
- In a nutshell: A safety certification program helps you sleep at night. It demonstrates commitment to your workers and your customers—and it works.
- Appeal to lead, influence
- – 3 avenues to engage with the Alliance.
- Overview of Alliance services.
- The Alliance offers a range of services and training to support manufacturers towards building and improving their safety management systems. OSSE or COR certification – advisory services, auditing and audit training Scheduled visits by a safety advisor – from an initial needs assessment, GAP, and action plan through ongoing support in building a safety program. Safety Program Support and Compliance Support contracts for more intensive mentorship or short-term compliance assistance. Mentorship programs: a new peer group program launching early this fall and other continuous improvement programs such as a new webinar series launching this month. Safety specialist assessments and consultation: Occupational hygiene (air/noise hazards) Industrial ergonomics – critical in MSI prevention Services to address high-risk areas in manufacturing such as: Confined space Combustible dust Machine guarding Industrial storage racking And multiple training options: Online training – most classes priced at a very reasonable $49, appealing to both member and non-member users Onsite training – for up to 15 students (customized for a larger company; cost-prohibitive for smaller companies) Open Learning – officially launched this week; will be offered on a regular schedule in multiple locations – purchase individual seats
