Blog Post #99 – Electrocution the Result Of Various Issues
Excerpt from the OH&S Canada Magazine
Safe work procedures, employee training and use of personal protective equipment all would have helped prevent a Quebec worker’s electrocution earlier this year, provincial investigators say.
Blog Post #98 – Health & Safety Outside Canada
I have had the honour of suggesting changes in the Ontario, as well as the rest of Canada, health and safety legislation. The previous 99 blogs deal with Canadian content, specifically those in Ontario.
I thought it appropriate to complete the 100th blog with a recent example of an accident in the Galveston , Texas area. It just goes to show that health and safety is a 24/7 responsibility and occupational accidents have no borders.
I do not know the legislation and what laws are broken and it is my hope that someone from the great state of Texas will fill our readers in. Is it covered under Federal or State law? If I receive any follow-up on this particular incident I will forward it to the readers.
Thank you all for the dedicated readership during the first 100 blogs. The comments number over 6,900 as of today’s date, June 26, 2011 and it is my sincere wish to continue to provide quality blogs on health and safety for a long time to come.
