SGIA Holds Workplace Safety Conference in Mississauga, ON

On June 7, 2017, SGIA hosted a workplace safety conference at the Centre for Health and Safety Innovation in Mississauga, Ontario. The event was sponsored by ND Graphics and coordinated by both SGIA and Workplace Safety North, a non-profit organization in Ontario that provides health and safety services and training. Several speakers presented on topics both specific to the industry, such as machine guarding and WHMIS 2015, and more generic topics like violence in the workplace and small business incentive programs. The conference is part of a larger effort by SGIA to promote safety education and awareness among our members in Canada and elsewhere. The location provided a classroom-style setting which allowed attendees to discuss and ask questions about safety topics that were relevant to them. Following the conference, SGIA will hold a webinar series on safety topics that were found to be of most significance to our industry based on feedback from attendees.
