“We’re looking to identify and celebrate best practices. But even more importantly, we want to share the stories and spread the word about what’s working to reduce injuries,” said Todd Humber, publisher of OHS Canada and Talent Canada. “There are no state secrets in the world of occupational health and safety.”
