BOWDA Luncheon - Thursday, May 12, 2016
Event Sponsors
The next BOWDA Lunch is on Thursday, May 12, 2016.
Topic: Workplace Safety
Presented by: Jody Laird from The John Petroupolis Memorial Foundation.
Calgary Police Service Const. John Petropoulos. He passed away in the line of duty on Sept. 29, 2000 while investigating a break-and-enter complaint at a warehouse. John stepped through a false ceiling, fell nine feet into the lunchroom below and succumbed to brain injuries. There was no safety railing to warn him, or anyone else, of the danger. There was no intruder in the building and the call ended up being a false alarm. The purpose of the PSA, which features actual police officers, is to use real-life examples of workplace hazards faced by emergency responders and make the viewer think about occupational health & safety from the perspective of first responders. - See more at: http://www.jpmf.ca/safety-videos/#sthash.TJyzieHF.dpuf

The John Petropoulos Memorial Foundation (JPMF) mission is to eliminate preventable workplace and traffic fatalities and injuries to emergency responders by educating the public about its role in helping to keep these essential workers safe on the job.The JPMF’s safety messages provide a different perspective on workplace safety – that of a first responder who may have to attend a premise during an emergency, such as a crime in progress, a fire, or a medical situation. The messages are relevant to all workers because when you make workplaces and roads safer for first responders, you make conditions safer for everyone.
