Meeting to introduce new safety group

The mining sector of the Ontario Natural Resources Safety Association (ONRSA) will use the occasion of its annual conference to showcase its transformation into the Mines and Aggregates Safety and Health Association.

The organization is one of three parts into which the ONRSA has been divided; the others deal with forestry and pulp and paper. The builders of the organization hope to have it completely set up by May 20, when the 2-day Mining Health and Safety Conference, an annual event, begins at the Colony Toronto Hotel.

The conference will feature keynote addresses by Dynatec CEO Robert Dengler and Brock Horseman, vice-president of Workplace Health with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). The program will include a panel discussion. Papers will address such issues as accident investigation and the changing roles of the Ministry of Labour and the WSIB.

An Information Exchange mini-trade show is scheduled for May 20; on the following day, the province’s mining industry will honor its top health and safety performers at the annual awards banquet.

For more information, call Susan Haldane at (705) 474-7233.
