The Association of Canadian Ergonomists (ACE) presents: Bribery and Corruption – the dark side of safety rewards
Date: December 14th, 2021
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm PST
Presenter: Melanie Fordham (aka Melanie Walls)
(Ce webinaire sera présenté en anglais)
If you want to improve safety, an obvious place to start is by encouraging safety behavior. This often translates into rewards for behaviors such as wearing personal protective equipment, or for low accident rates.
However, there is research evidence that if you don't do it the right way, rewards can backfire - having a negative impact on safety, and decreasing proactive behavior.
This presentation will help you to answer key questions about rewarding safety.
• Should you reward it at all?
• What form should rewards take?
• When should you give rewards?
• Should they be large or small?
You will finish with an understanding of the right and the wrong way to use rewards to improve safety.
Note: interactive workshops are available for participants who want to cover this topic in greater depth.
This webinar is available to non-members at a fee of $20 plus applicable taxes. Should you be a non-member and wish to attend please contact info@ace-ergocanada.ca to register.
If you are an ACE member, please register here.
About the presenter:
Melanie Fordham (aka Melanie Walls) has two decades of experience applying Human Factors to improve safety and performance. When presenting, she is able to draw on real-life lessons learned from projects in forestry, rail, naval ships, helicopters, air traffic control centres, airport control towers, army intelligence, equipment control rooms, and medical devices.
Melanie received formal training in the psychology of people at work, with a Master of Arts in Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology from Oxford University, and a Master of Science in Occupational Psychology from Sheffield University; however, she blends an academic foundation with a pragmatic approach that is based on solving problems in real world settings, where resources are limited and options are constrained.
An experienced public speaker, Melanie ensures her presentations are interactive and enjoyable. She believes: ‘If there isn’t something useful you can use right away in your job, then training is just an expensive way to eat donuts.’ Melanie is the former president of the BC/Yukon region of the Association of Canadian Ergonomists.

November Mental Wellness Tip
Happy (almost) December BPK!
As we are ramping up for the end of the semester, stress can really start to set in – whether this is driven by writing exams, grading exams, or other end of the semester deadlines. We know it is good for us to prioritize self-care, but who has the time… especially in the fast-paced world of academia?
To help with this, maybe we need to re-think how we practice self-care…
What is self-care anyways? This is anything you do to take care of yourself so you can stay physically, mentally, and emotionally well. These activities can span the categories of emotional, social, mental, spiritual, and physical activities. Hopefully, as you are reading this, some of your favourite me-time activities are coming to mind.
Often, prioritizing self-care during periods of stress can be intimidating because of the time our favourite activities will take. Going for a big workout, getting together with a friend, or spending the evening unwinding to a movie or book sometimes doesn’t feel feasible alongside impending deadlines.
To combat that, the key word to emphasize from the definition above, is “anything” – any activity that helps you stay well can be classified as self-care. By getting creative to establish smaller ways to ground ourselves through the day, maintaining a little you time might start to become a bit more feasible. Meditation resources like Down Dog, Headspace, or Calm can help with this!
Below are some examples of sustainable self-care to help you guys start your brainstorming:
Mindful daily activities
Is there anything you do during your typical routine that you could add a little relaxation to? Perhaps it is your morning coffee, your skincare routine, or a shower before bed. Whatever your preferred activity may be, try doing this mindfully by unplugging from social media/email, enjoying the quiet (or maybe a relaxing piece of music or guided meditation), and taking in the moment. Finding even a small amount of time to slow down and find some calm during daily activities is a great strategy to practice regular self-care.
Walks – or “Awe” walks
Going for a walk outside can be a great way to break up the day. Even better, try going for a mindful “awe” walk – being intentional about shifting your attention to gratitude for the beauty around you, whatever that may be. By keeping your focus in the moment, this can help you get more rejuvenation from the walk and help avoid your thoughts shifting to impending deadlines and stress. In a 2020 study, participants were assigned to either a simple walk group, or an “awe” walk group. Although the simple walk group walked more, the “awe” group reported increased joy and other positive emotions during daily living, alongside decreases in daily stress.
Take time to CELEBRATE
Finally, it is normal for things to get busy –sometimes we need to push through the chaos, but be sure to find a way to celebrate an unwind when all of the things are over. Without breaks, we risk putting ourselves in a position to burn out. Even if it feels necessary to move right into the next thing, that likely won’t help in the long run. Be intentional about setting some time aside for you over the holidays. Celebrate the semester’s accomplishments – both in terms of the big successes, and the steps you took to get there, and recharge for the new year.
Best of luck with the end of the semester BPK – and remember to find a little time for you!

Physics 347: Introduction to Biological Physics
This course bridges the fields of biological sciences (with a focus on the molecular and cellular levels) with physics. It aims to give students a conceptual and quantitative sense of the important energy, length, force and timescales in microscale biological systems. Have you ever wondered about how cargo is transported in our cells? Did you know that the protein motors doing this transport are ridiculously strong and very efficient compared with anything we have humans have been able to devise? Have you ever wondered how 2 metres of DNA is able to pack into each one of our cell nuclei? Or how neurons control the flow of ions to generate signals? Or maybe you enjoy(ed) Physics but have never thought about how it could be applied to understanding biology, or that we can actually learn a lot of new physics by studying biological systems. If these ideas pique your interest, please consider enrolling in Phys 347 this fall!
Some added points to consider:
- The course will be taught in person, with three lectures/week + tutorial.
- The course has minimal prerequisites (completion of 45 units including first-year Physics, Math and Chemistry; BISC 101 is recommended but not required) so that students from all science disciplines are welcome. It does involve mathematical and physical calculations, so you will need these prerequisites, but will not rely on anything beyond these.
- The course is particularly enjoyable when students are from a variety of backgrounds, so we gain multiple perspectives on the course material.
This course is offered biennially, with the next anticipated offering in Spring 2024.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like more information, please reach out to the course instructor: nforde@sfu.ca.

The effect of intravenous cannulation on orthostatic tolerance
Are people more likely to faint if they have a needle in their vein?
Dr. Victoria Claydon's Cardiovascular Physiology Lab is conducting a research study to find the answer, and whether discomfort associated with the needle is the key. Men and women aged 19-50 years are invited to take part in a study examining the effect of intravenous cannulation on blood pressure control and fainting.
Your participation in this study will involve three tests (3 hours each), on three separate days, of your blood pressure control and susceptibility to fainting. On each day we will use a different anaesthetic cream to make your skin numb before inserting an intravenous (in the vein) cannula (a small plastic tube).
Your participation may help improve understanding of why people faint, improve retention for blood donation, and facilitate blood sampling in needle fainters. As a thank you for your participation, you will receive $75 in compensation.
