The Big Safety Short

Why Are Canadians Such Safety Laggards? | The Big Safety Short

with Rob Stewart & Jason Matthison

In this inaugural episode of The Big Safety Short, we delve into the pressing issue of workplace safety in Canada. Our host is joined by Dave Rebbitt, the CEO of Rarebit Consulting and a leading thought leader in safety, ranked number one in Canada and number five globally.

Dave shares his expert insights on why Canada lags behind other countries, like the UK, in workplace safety, exploring factors such as regulatory approaches, the role of safety professionals, and the differences in enforcement and accountability. He highlights the performance-based regulatory model used in the UK and EU, which focuses on managing and mitigating risks rather than merely complying with regulations.

Much like Michael Burry in the Big Short, Intactix is the only company that has gone to the ground floor to examine the data and discover why organizations are continually ‘blindsided’ by their serious incidents.

The harsh reality, the data companies are relying on to manage risk is invalid, inaccurate, and worthless. We can show why serious incidents like BP’s Deep-Water Horizon can go 7 years without a recordable, then BOOM. Or why great safety-first organizations can have the highest safety spend and most safety professionals in industry and, the most  fatalities. They are literally running blind to their risk. Safety data has become a house of cards perpetuated by classic garbage in, garbage out that is being further perpetuated by senior leaders of the world's largest organizations that are relying on bad data and being guided by a false sense of assurance that it won't happen to me. The Big Safety Short is here to tell the TRUTH about safety and LISTEN and be the VOICE of the front-lines to do safety differently.
