Leadership Safety Workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to empower AFRWC board members to create and maintain safe and healthy workplaces within their cooperatives.

As stewards of community water systems, you play a critical role not only in providing water but also in ensuring the safety and well-being of the workers and volunteers who help make that possible.

This is not your typical lecture-based course. Instead, this workshop is designed to be interactive and activity driven. Through shared discussions and practical exercises, participants will explore real-world examples drawn from their own cooperatives as well as those of others. A key feature of this workshop is the use of a workbook and comprehensive checklists, designed to guide and support board members in aligning with Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) expectations.

The workshop is structured into four modules. Each module provides an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned through collaborative activities and open sharing. By working through actual scenarios, board members will leave with not just knowledge, but practical tools and strategies tailored to their specific cooperative context.
