Best Practices manuals in demand
Work Safe Alberta’s best practices guidelines are so popular that AUPE’s head office has run out of copies of several editions.
“We’ve had so many requests from members that we’re all out of the first three manuals,” said Occupational Health and Safety Representative Dennis Malayko. “The only one we currently have in stock is the latest volume, ‘Best Practices for the Assessment and Control of Physical Hazards.’”
