Health and Safety Day gets excellent reviews

Earlier this month more than 30 FS Ontario System employees attended a full day of interacting and learning about a variety of health and safety topics held at the Holiday Inn in Kitchener.

Erin Aldred, GROWMARK Ontario Health and Safety Specialist introduced the group to a number of internal and external speakers that covered topics such as transportation updates, emergency response planning and how to conduct an effective accident investigation.

GROWMARK Senior Trainer Barry Hannah presented the final session that focused on the subject of diversity in the workplace. With the changing work force in the province this program gives staff a better understanding of how to prevent workplace inequities and create a more harmonious work environment. The program is called Drop by Drop and is now available to Ontario members who are interested.

The overall event was rated very positively by participants and Aldred plans to host this event on an annual basis. If you have suggestions on topics that you would like to see on the next agenda, please contact Erin at 519-895-5358 or email her at ealdred@growmark.com
