Welcome to SYNERGY Program!
The goal of the SYNERGY Program is to support effective, practical development and implementation of health and safety management systems within participating companies. It is one thing to understand the theory of safety management; it is another thing to implement an effective program. The SYNERGY Program incorporates Four Pillars: Training, Facilitated group networking, Safety advisory services, and an Online SYNERGY Forum to help ensure success.

Safety advisory services
The SYNERGY Program includes a free on-site assessment of potential gaps in your safety management system by one of our Safety Advisors. The purpose of the gap analysis is to identify which safety management system elements need further development. The Safety Advisors will also provide consulting resources as needed to support your company in the development of these elements.
Online SYNERGY Forum
The FIOSA - MIOSA Safety Alliance of BC has created an online forum for participants in the SYNERGY Program to network, raise questions and share ideas. The forum contains a library, a learning centre and a general discussion section for program participants.
