Friday Safety Grab Bag
I apologize for the lack of recent blog posts, I’ve been travelling a bit and have been depending on Twitter lately to get my message out. Here’s a look back over the last week or so of interesting resources that I’ve tweeted about:
- WorkSafeBC ladder safety posters to download and print – excellent resources on a basic but vitally important topic!
- Alberta Workplace Health and Safety – Explanation Guide to the AB OHS Code – I recently showed this to a colleague from Ontario and he liked how Alberta has provided additional detail to describe how to comply with the requirements of the OHS Code.
- Alberta Where’s the line? video related to powerline safety – Even Godzilla is not immune to this hazard!
- Alberta Best Practice Guideline for Workplace Health and Safety During Pandemic Influenza – another excellent doc from AB Workplace Health and Safety.
- Association of Worker’s Compensation Boards of Canada Key Statistical Measures for 2008.
- H1N1 Update from WHO – Feb. 23, 2009.
- Information about Threads of Life Steps for Life Run Walk events being held across Canada on the Sunday of NAOSH Week.
- COS Magazine video with Norm Keith about OHS regulatory trends in 2010. Norm is really plugged-in to the legal side of OHS in Canada and you need to hear what he’s saying!
- You can now follow NAOSH Week on Twitter at @NAOSHWeek.
- You can also download a copy of the Canadian NAOSH Week Resource Guide in PDF form.
