VIDEO: The BCCSA's Mike McKenna at NAOSH Health and Safety Week launch in North Vancouver
North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week was launched on May 6 in British Columbia with an event held in North Vancouver featuring many different safety organizations, equipment providers and demonstrations of proper safety procedures.
BC Construction Safety Alliance(BCCSA) executive director Mike McKenna was on hand to explain the role of his organization in promoting and maintaining safety awareness both on and off construction sites.
McKenna pointed to a large piano suspended from a crane on the NAOSH event grounds as a good example of situational awareness on the job. On a construction site, he said, workers have to be constantly aware of safety issues in every single direction, not just in their immediate vicinity.
McKenna also stressed that though events like the launch of NAOSH week are important, occupational safety means a commitment every single day to ensuring worksites are as safe as possible.
