Stop‑work orders issued following propane facility blast
Manitoba’s Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) branch has halted certain operations following an explosion that injured three employees late last month, according to a report.

As digital systems multiply, so do user credentials, which can create confusion for field employees and frustration for IT teams that juggle the security of several systems. The ability for teams to securely access multiple platforms and tools with one set of validated credentials can result in smoother, smarter operations.
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication solution that allows users to log in once and once verified, they can gain access to every authorised system within your organisation, without re-entering credentials. No juggling credentials and no wasted time.
For IT teams, SSO means one central access point where all users are managed. Less password resets, lost logins, or convoluted planning and strategising when audit time comes around.
For users, it’s fewer slowdowns as they move from system to system throughout the day. A smoother experience from start to finish.
Security and simplicity don’t always go hand-in-hand, but on this rare occasion, SSO can assist organisations in both fields. So what makes SSO a true Gamechanger?
FlexManager’s focus is on simplifying the means of staying compliant through smart integration and streamlined processes. Our SSO functionality connects seamlessly with providers such as Microsoft Office to give users a secure, one click access to their FlexManager modules.
In today’s fast-paced, multi-platform world, SSO can act as a competitive advantage that saves time and bolsters security. Organisations can give IT teams and end users the time and confidence to focus on what matters that is simple, secure, and scalable. That is SSO, a true Gamechanger.
To find out more about SSO through FlexManager, you can reach out to our team through our Contact section, or request a free demo through our Book a Demo page.

Paper-based documentation and processes limited visibility and the tracking of quality audits, non-conformances, and equipment status across different buildings. Preventative maintenance was difficult to prioritise, track, and report on. As the organisation continued to grow, maintaining consistent health and safety practices and quality standards became increasingly challenging.
Compliance audits, incident investigations, and safety management all hinge on accurate, real-time location data. Yet, many organizations still rely on manual tracking, spreadsheets, or outdated systems, which can lead to gaps in compliance, delayed responses to incidents, and unnecessary operational risk. Geolocation technology is emerging as a gamechanger, offering the ability to monitor, verify, and manage workforce and assets with precision and accountability.
Job Hazard Analysis, Pre-task Planning, Safe Work Plan. Different organisations undertake the same process, but have different naming regimens. No matter what you call it, we have it covered through our Job Risk Management (JRM) module.
Thousands more young people will be given the opportunity to train as bricklayers, plumbers and engineers as the government creates 13,000 apprenticeship and T Level placement opportunities as part of its plan to transform school buildings.
Previously, we explored why Speak Up Safety matters. Understanding the risks of silence, the benefits of early reporting, and the role of culture sets the stage. Now, the focus shifts to how to put this into practice. Culture doesn’t change through slogans or posters. It changes when employees feel safe, supported, and confident that reporting hazards leads to action.
Safety observations are proactive reports of hazards, near-misses, or unsafe behaviours. When captured effectively, they can prevent incidents before they occur. Encouraging employees to consistently share observations, especially if they are anonymous, is often a challenge.
The UK's Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs published their Policy Paper entitled: "PFAS Plan: Building a safer Future together" on February 3rd.
Last week, the Canadian Construction Safety Council (CCSC) released its Critical Risks Guideline, a framework designed to prevent serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) in the sector.
In high-risk industries, most serious incidents are preceded by warning signs such as near misses, unsafe behaviours, or hazards that someone noticed but did not report. Employees often stay silent because they are unsure how to raise concerns, fear blame, or believe nothing will change.
Last week, we were delighted to present prizes to the winners of the Shannon Region Open Water Swim League (SROWSL), an event we’re proud to sponsor. Congratulations to the overall 2025 winner, Cormac Lyons of Limerick Masters, along with all the swimmers who took part across the league.
Q1 is often a time when HSEQ or EHS professionals evaluate the different systems that they have in place for the running of their day-to-day operations. With a fresh perspective on what objectives are being prioritised for the year ahead, utilising an occupational health and safety (OHS) solution can make the difference. Here are 3 such solutions that you can put into focus to ensure your health and safety objectives are not only met, but surpassed.
