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.

How a single action, like wearing personal protective equipment, can affect not just one individual, but many.

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. |
