Bruce Power
Bruce Power is a partnership among Cameco Corp., TransCanada Corp., Borealis Infrastructure (a trust established by the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System), The Power Workers' Union and The Society of Energy Professionals. Its 2,300-acre site on the shores of Lake Huron houses the Bruce A and B generating stations, which each hold four CANDU reactors.
Bruce Power operates with a strong and clear set of values that embrace safety, the community, integrity and diversity. It was Bruce Power's President and CEO Duncan Hawthorne who envisioned a Canada-wide health and safety Charter. In January 2005, he met with federal, provincial and territorial ministers of labour to ask for their commitment and soon after started campaigning CEO's to launch the first CEO Safety Leadership Charter.
Conference Board of Canada's Health and Safety Leadership Centre
The Conference Board of Canada's Health and Safety Leadership Centre (HSLC), launched last year, supports the continuous improvement of healthy and safe workplaces. It is founded on the principle that effective leadership of health and safety is essential to the operation of a successful business. Participation in this centre allows business leaders, government, and academia to exchange best practices within a learning community and show their visible commitment to the enhancement of employee physical, social, and mental well-being.
The Conference Board of Canada is dedicated to leading this group by:
- conducting research on health and safety,
- building the evidence and economic analysis from which to leverage investments in health and safety,
- organizing special events and community outreach activities,
- collaborating and partnering with existing health and safety initiatives and acting as a venue to increase shared knowledge and innovation,
- featuring success stories of leaders who demonstrate a strong commitment to health and safety.
