About Me
I'm Susan Main, a writer based in Vancouver, BC. I have been writing about workplace health and safety since 1999 and have spoken with hundreds of people in different industries across Canada about their efforts to make safety a priority. It is a pleasure and a privilege to share their stories and explore new topics in the world of health and safety at work, and in our communities. In partnership with my sponsor, WorkSafeBC, our goal is to create an online community to promote conversations around workplace health and safety and inspire others to be safety champions.-
