Background
Workplace Occupational Health and Safety Training is a second career beginning in 2003 following a successful sales and marketing career based in advertising, publishing, research and new business development. Skills and experience were built in entrepreneurial work environments requiring aggressive goal setting and growth strategies, managerial, organizational and team building skills. The dynamic world of occupational health and safety is embraced wholeheartedly as an opportunity for life-long learning.
As the Ontario legislature ponders the possibility of defining workplace violence as an occupational hazard, a partnership developed with the leading global provider of workplace violence prevention training, the Crisis Prevention Institute. This resulted in Act First Safety becoming the exclusive independent facilitator of the program in Canada. Partnerships with established businesses assist in our growth and leading edge programs continue to be developed. Online Training programs were added to our inventory in 2009 at the same time as the launch of the newly enhanced website. Future plans include the introduction of an expanding offering of both online and instructor-led safety training programs.

Ms. McFarlane founded Act First Safety after 3 years experience consulting with a leading lift truck training company.
