What can we do for you?

Our goal is to help reduce workplace injuries in the service and hospitality industries in Saskatchewan.

 Safety is not something you do; it’s how you work!

Sharing the Load

Dale Grant, General Manager, Sheraton Cavalier in Saskatoon, SK and 32 of his busy team actively participated in a custom designed “Supervisors Managing Safety” one-hour course held on January 12, 2012.  The participants included the General Manager, Head Chef, Rooms Division Manager, Controller; all the way through to the front line supervisors.  The training was designed to get everyone onto the same page which included their individual responsibilities toward safety at the hotel along with how to be a good supervisor.

Prior to the training, the hotel’s Human Resources Department had created a Safety Management System that was tailored toward the needs of each individual department.  Through this system, the day-to-day safety performances have been placed squarely on the shoulders of the front line supervisor rather than the Human Resources Department.  With this kind of reasoning, they anticipate huge improvements in their overall safety performance throughout the hotel.

Hats off to the Sheraton Cavalier!  Their team approach to improving safety performance will pay dividends for years to come.  Congratulations from all of us at the Service & Hospitality Safety Association.
