The Essential Elements of Hand Safety
Fortunately, even though we are constantly exposing our hands to varying degrees of risk, many of the injuries suffered are relatively minor, such as small cuts, abrasions and minor infections. Many serious injuries can occur on work sites such as hands and fingers being crushed, punctured, lacerated, burnt and even amputated. This program looks closely at the main hazard groups (mechanical, chemical, thermal and general hazards) and the accident prevention measures that can be addressed (elimination, substitution, administrative controls and engineering controls).

Women Working in the Skilled Trades and Technologies: Myths and Realities
This position paper, written in June 2011 and coauthored by Skills Canada-Ontario, came out of a workshop that Women in Nuclear (WiN) held during a Canadian Nuclear Association Conference. The workshop was called "Women in Non-Traditional Roles - Putting Our Skills to Work" and was facilitated by Gail Smyth, executive director of Skills Canada. WiN and Skills Canada-Ontario identified six myths they felt discourage women from pursuing careers in the skilled trades and technologies. The six myths became the foundation of the paper and counterpoints were offered to these common misconceptions. Suggestions by the workshop participants were expanded upon and supported by research and data to offer recommendations that can be instituted by government, educators, unions and industry.

Machine Guards
This program covers the following: why guards are used, the risks associated with mechanical hazards, the requirements for effective machine guarding, the different types of guards and their functions and safe work practices when working with equipment and machinery. Advances in technology, safety standards and risk management have all contributed to increasingly effective guards being used in the workplace today, but despite all these advances, horrific accidents still occur. When guards are not in place or when guards are not used correctly, people can be pulled into machines, have limbs amputated and body parts crushed. It is therefore critical that we all understand how to avoid accidents and injuries when working with equipment and machinery.
