Safety Services and Training Where, When and How you need it!
Weekly Published Column


While teaching courses, I had found that many people in those courses had numerous questions about the Occupational Health and Safety legislation.  I had thought about writing a news column for a long time, but only started last year.  The column, run in a few newspapers, has been met with interest. 

Each week, I will try and introduce a different specific part of the legislation and translate it into language that people could understand.  Additionally, I include my e-mail for the readers to send me specific questions that I could answer or even write an entire column about.  Many people are afraid to contact the OHS Department themselves, and there are very few people in Saskatchewan who are prepared to offer information or advice for free.  In an effort for people to gain a greater knowledge of safety, I am prepared to that. 

If you have any questions or topics that should be included, send me an e-mail at bruce@eastsidesafety.com
