Safety Den was held for the first time in Victoria and was a huge success. The event was part of the annual conference of BC Care Providers, attracting 21 submissions – five more than the previous year.
Submissions were in two categories: healthcare (12) and commercial (9). Surprisingly, the commercial category saw more than twice as many submissions as the previous year.
The healthcare submissions competed for a $1,000 prize, while the commercial submissions competed for the Safety Innovation of the Year Award.
