Join us for an engaging session as we showcase Canada Post’s proactive strategy and latest advancements in reducing slip, trip, and fall injuries—their leading cause of workplace incidents. Discover how experiential learning is transforming safety training with the Slip Simulator™. This cutting-edge system gives delivery agents hands-on experience in mastering safe walking techniques on challenging surfaces, from curbs to icy slopes—while securely harnessed or observing peers. Studies from leading organizations, including a U.S. laboratory, Amazon, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, reveal a remarkable 30-70% reduction in incidents among participants who completed similar training. The webinar will dive into insights from their successful 2022 pilot and explore the exciting rollout of their Slip SimulatorTM units at their two largest delivery agent schools.
