Act First Safety prides themselves on customer service, listening to what their clients need to keep their employees safe, and developing excellent business relationships.
Act First Safety was founded in 2003 by Lauren McFarlane who began her career in sales and marketing. During her time working for a well-known lift trucking training company, she created original, ground-breaking training programs, thus, making it easier for employers to understand occupational health and safety for their workers. For example, in 2007, she initiated an environmentally friendly fire extinguisher training program. Ms. McFarlane has also worked with Ontario legislators to see to it that workplace violence be considered an occupational hazard. What has resulted is a partnership with the Crisis Prevention Institute and Act First Safety becoming the only independent facilitator of such a program in Canada. What started as a second career in occupational health and safety for Lauren McFarlane has developed into a blossoming relationships and affiliations with such organizations as Canadian Society for Training and Development, Canadian Society for Safety Engineering, Occupational Hygiene Association of Ontario, and the Industrial Accident Prevention Association.
