The workplace accident prevention system in Ontario is currently being restructured to enhance the delivery of health and safety services to all regions and businesses. Several meetings have been held and the process is well underway to amalgamate Industrial Accident Prevention Association (“IAPA”), Ontario Service Safety Alliance (“OSSA”), and Farm Safety Association (“FSA”) into one organization to be called Safe Workplace Promotion Services Ontario (“SWPSO”), which will continue to serve the industrial, service, farming and similar sectors across Ontario.
Safe Workplace Promotion Services Ontario (“SWPSO”) Advisory Group is searching for candidates with senior executive and leadership experience from Ontario’s industrial, service, and farming sectors who have vision, leadership, and commitment. This is an opportunity to provide leadership in the health and safety field within the business community and influence the strategic direction of SWPSO. This is also an opportunity for your company to be recognized as a leader in healthy workplaces.
Applications will be accepted until October 30, 2009. Please go to the SWPSO Board of Directors Page or SWPSO Advisory Council Page for details.
