The ripple effect
A single action creates a ripple... working together creates a wave

Much has been said about the ripple effect — how a single drop of water creates a ripple that extends beyond its source. That concept has profound implications in the world of workplace heath and safety. It speaks about action and response, cause and effect. How a single action, like wearing personal protective equipment, can affect not just one individual, but many.

Increased protection for farm workers

Increased protection for farm workers
On March 7, 2007, in B.C.'s Fraser Valley, a van carrying a driver and 16 farm workers rolled over, killing three of the workers and injuring several others. The tragedy, which reverberated through the farming community and the entire province, sparked a renewed demand for roadside inspections to ensure farm labour transport vehicles meet occupational health and safety requirements and employment standards, and comply with the Motor Vehicle Act.
