John Cunningham and the Potency of Precaution
John has over 30 years of experience in operations, loss prevention, health and safety and various leadership roles. While managing an operations shift at a warehouse, one of his staff had a serious forklift accident that fortunately did not result in a serious injury. As a manager responsible for over 30 staff, this was John’s wakeup call about worker health & safety. John has been instrumental in developing health and safety programs not only for this company, he continued to take that experience and passion when he joined an Ontario Health & Safety Association, OSSA, predecessor to Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS). His role as a consultant and key account manager afforded him the opportunity to work with large national and international employers seeking to building a sustainable health and Safety system. Using his networking skills, John has been effective in connecting employers to resources that helped them achieve this. After working with many talented people at WSPS and his network of customers, John took this experience, knowledge and connections to lead up health and safety for a new retailer coming to Canada, Target. This was an experience of a life time for him allowing him to put into practice his experience with a major employer. John worked with a great team at Target Headquarters in United States and Canada to create and rollout a health and safety system across Canada, in all 10 provinces. John got a bit more than he bargained for when Target decided to cease operations in Canada. John was one of 25 people left at the Canadian headquarters to ensure the smooth operation of closing down the business. This an experience he will never forget or regret. Afterwards, it was only natural for John to take what he calls his “Target MBA” back to his previous employer WSPS. Since returning, John has taken on several leadership roles in field operations and now is Director, Commercial & Strategic Partnerships.
