The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world — and the occupational health and safety profession — in many ways.

Alan Quilley
Alan D. Quilley, CRSP, is the president of Safety Results, a consultancy and training service in Sherwood Park, Alta.
He recently joined OHS Canada editor Marcel Vander Wier on the Safe Zone podcast for a conversation about how much the profession has changed as a result of the virus.
In this episode, Quilley responds to the following questions:
- What do you believe will be the most significant effect of COVID-19 on the workplace?
- What type of changes will this pandemic cause in regards to the OH&S profession?
- Is COVID-19 viewed as simply another hazard in OH&S, or is it an entirely different beast?
- Has the pandemic prompted safety professionals to re-evaluate any processes and procedures?
- Do you think there are any traditional safety measures that may not serve workplaces as well moving forward?
- Can you comment on how misinformation may affect safety culture, and how to overcome it in the workplace if necessary?
- What types of changes will the virus have on emergency management planning as the world braces against global pandemics like this in the future?
thanks for the insights Alan, always good to hear your voice and that you are doing well.
