Stakeholder CouncilsStakeholder Engagement Review 2009
As the entity responsible for improving electrical safety in the province of Ontario, the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) regularly consults with our safety partners and stakeholders to gain their insight, recommendations and advice into current and future electrical safety initiatives and issues. In September 2008, the ESA’s Board of Directors engaged Singer & Watts Management Consulting to conduct an independent review of our current stakeholder engagement processes and mechanisms. The goal of this review was to recommend to the Board of Directors how to improve Stakeholder Engagement within ESA by considering:
Since presenting the draft report for comment in February 2009, input has been received from stakeholders representing a broad cross section of interests. This feedback was reviewed by the consultant prior to the final recommendations being presented to the Board of Directors and some changes have been made based on that input. Copies of all the submissions were also provided directly to the Board of Directors for its consideration. Thank you to all participants who took the time to read the draft report and provided insight and comments. This input has been valuable and led to a more thoughtful set of final recommendations. As part of the feedback, some comments were raised regarding the ECRA board. At this time the Chair of the Regulatory Affairs Committee will be taking steps to address the comments raised. Stakeholder engagement is an important aspect of the ESA’s values and operational practices and is embedded in ESA’s culture. The feedback received in this report demonstrates a sincere dedication and desire in working together to resolve outstanding issues and realize ESA’s long term vision of an Ontario free of electrical fatalities and serious injury, damage or loss. All recommendations in the report have been approved by the Board of Directors. ESA management will now move ahead with implementing the recommendations. Final Report: A copy of the final report and a summary of all comments can be found below: Next Steps In accordance with best practice, the recommendations will be carried out by adopting and implementing stakeholder engagement principles that focus particularly on openness, transparency and fairness to all interests. We are hopeful the successful adoption of these recommendations will further reinforce our commitment to stakeholder engagement.
