Quality And Performance Of Sliced Shook From Small Ponderosa Pine Logs

Introduction The health, safety and well‐being of the university community and the protection of the environment are of utmost importance to the University. Through various functions, University of Guelph personnel are responsible for the handling, use and storage of potentially hazardous chemical products. In order to address the health, safety and environmental challenges specific to the usage of hazardous chemicals outside of laboratory environments, this handbook, and the encompassing guidelines and procedures, have been developed. This handbook is to provide supplemental information to the University of Guelph and departmental health and safety policies as well as define minimum standards for safe practices at the University. Workers involved in laboratory work should refer to the Laboratory Safety Manual for more detailed direction on chemical safety in the laboratory. Our goal is a safe and healthy environment for faculty, staff, students and visitors.

Introduction Ladders are an everyday tool in homes and workplaces across the world, allowing millions of people to work at height quickly and easily. They’re versatile and vital pieces of equipment, that can be used for a whole range of jobs. But too many people still fall from ladders. The consequences of these falls can be life-changing, for both the victim and their loved ones. The Ladder Association wants everyone who climbs a ladder to come back down safely. To achieve this, we believe the entire ladder industry must work in collaboration. That’s why the Association was formed in 1947; it’s the place where ladder manufacturers, suppliers, and training providers meet. Separately, these businesses innovate and compete. But when it comes to advancing user safety, they work together. Our members have made a clear commitment to put safety at the heart of everything they do: • Ladder Association Manufacturers only make ladders that comply with EN 131 (or international equivalents) and are certified by a third-party Conformity Assessment Body; • Ladder Association Suppliers only sell or hire ladders that are certified to EN 131 (or international equivalents); • Ladder Association Training Providers use approved centers to deliver approved training courses, using approved instructors. We also work closely with the Health & Safety Executive, the Office for Product Safety and Standards, the British Standards Institution and other National Standards Bodies, RoSPA, and similar safety-minded organizations to combine insights, experience, and knowledge. It means that when our campaigns, training courses, and documents like this Code of Practice are put together, there’s as much expertise in the room as possible. And remember, we’re all there in support of you, the ladder user. This edition of the Ladder Association Code of Practice takes account of the latest guidance and product standards at the time of issue and supersedes all previous editions. It’s designed to keep you, and those around you, safe.
