Bio

Heidi Börner MN, COHN(C), BN, RN, is a Canadian certified occupational health nurse specialist who started her career in 1992. Her consulting experience spans occupational health and safety system development, injury management, accident and injury investigation, auditing, and research for a wide range of business types in New Zealand and Canada.

Through her experience she observed that companies were struggling to manage risks posed by workplace culture because they did not have the tools to measure and monitor the effect of workplace culture on health and safety performance. As a result, she co-developed the Orange Umbrella® tools for organisations, associations, insurers and compliance bodies and tested the tools in her Master’s research. She has been the primary provider for the EEA Safety Climate Project since 2010. Orange Umbrella® tools are currently being used in Canada and New Zealand in a variety of industries.
