A Corner Brook firefighter has been recognized with an award from WorkplaceNL. The WorkplaceNL Safety Leadership Award for Workers acknowledges workers in the community who practice health and safety in completing work tasks, contribute to making their workplaces safe, and positively influence safety culture. This years’ winner is Geoff Sparkes. As a firefighter with the Corner Brook Fire Department, Geoff has spent the last 15 years promoting the importance of health and safety to his coworkers. Recognizing a need, he completed peer-to-peer mental health support training offered by the International Association of Firefighters and led a gap analysis on radio communication of fire departments across Canada in order to improve staff communication. Geoff also participated in discussions between the provincial government and the Professional Firefighters of Newfoundland and Labrador to implement the province’s current presumptive cancer legislation for firefighters.
