2018 Annual Report / Business Performance /

Province-wide Technical Safety Insight

Taking an integrated approach to technical safety in BC

Through partnerships we develop a shared understanding of safety oversight, which in-turn provides province-wide technical safety system insights, and builds public and stakeholder confidence in the safety system throughout BC.

 

2018 measuring performance

 

TARGETS MEASURES RESULTS

Develop data sharing agreements or partnerships with municipalities and other safety system participants.

Establish plan to work with federal site owners on equipment oversight.

Develop profiles and build safety awareness with local governments.

Federal sites onboarding plan developed, and resources approved to support onboarding federal sites over 2019-2021.

Pursued agreements with First Nations, federal government, local governments, utilities, and other agencies and service providers.

Developed two-way data sharing agreements reached with WorkSafeBC and Electrical Safety Authority of Ontario.

Create data sharing agreements between Technical Safety BC and other safety system participants for the benefit of the public.

Define and implement principles and processes for secure data exchange.

Share data related to compliance and enforcement.

Met with numerous entities for the purpose of first contact, follow-up, and to pursue two-way data sharing agreements, ideally in an automated fashion using an Application Programming Interface (API).

Created a secure API to send and receive data with municipalities. Also developed a new website using this API for municipalities to validate a contractor license and upload permit information. The new website is only available to the municipalities (not the general public).

Published the external 2017 Compliance and Enforcement Report.

Incorporate data from external sources into our analysis and insights to provide comprehensive reporting to the public or government.

Develop safety insight coverage map.

Develop ability to analyze and use data from external sources.

Analyze external usage of Technical Safety BC data.

Used our new visualization capabilities to display our transactions around the province on an interactive map, which allows us to better analyze our service levels across the province.

Collected, analyzed, and published test brine results to illustrate a pattern of refrigeration system failure.

Incorporated analytics into release of information related to Fernie Memorial Arena investigation. This illustrated how impactful our work is and generated ideas for how we can do better.

“We have so many important stories to tell… stories that can help people make better decisions and live safer lives.”
– Kate Baillie, Vice President, Communications and Content Strategy
