ELECTRICAL SAFETY AWARENESS

Elecsafe Alliance Launches 2003
Electrical Safety Awareness Campaign

Look Up!    Look Down!    Look Out!

The Elecsafe Alliance of electrical industry partners will launch their 2003 campaign in late May 2003. This year's campaign theme focuses on increasing electrical powerline safety awareness.

Member efforts over the past 12 months have resulted in the Construction Safety Association of Ontario and the Electrical and Utilities Safety Association joining the alliance. In addition, the partners have gained support for this year's campaign from the Farm Safety Association of Ontario and the Education Safety Association of Ontario.

To support public awareness this campaign includes:

A powerline safety video targeted for delivery at 3,600 elementary schools across Ontario (1.3 million children).
A farm/rural safety brochure.
A worker safety flyer.
Safety press releases targeted at homeowners.
Modifications to the www.elecsafe.info website.

The Office of the Employer Adviser

The Office of the Employer Adviser (OEA) is an independent agency of the Ontario Ministry of Labour and has been helping employers with workplace safety and insurance matters since 1985. They provide expert advice to any size employer and representation at all levels of appeal primarily for employers with fewer than 100 employees.

OEA is funded by the premiums that you are paying WSIB, so there is no additional fee to use their services.

The Office of the Employer Adviser Update is designed to inform you about changes in workplace safety insurance policies and procedures and to highlight business issues of interest.
