10. April/May 1998
"The group of men facing potential death after every ride down,
faceless yet doing it everyday, relying on someone else to protect them
every step, yet knowing those ‘people’ may not be looking out for their
health and safety.”
"This was the start of companies finally being forced to take worker
safety seriously. Before this, it was only the profit that counted.”
"This is probably the most significant event in Canadian oh&s history.”
9. May/June 1989
"It caught my eye, as I know when my wife was pregnant, there were
a lot of things regarding chemical safety we did not know or realize.”
"The cover made me stop and think about not only the immediate hazards,
but the long-term ramifications of our decisions.”
"I think it hits home and helps all think of what is most important
in life.”
8. March/April 1991
"This is my favourite cover because, after all these years, it still
stays with me: all the darkness associated with workplace fatalities
and incidents. It stands out.”
"A simple human face. Anyone can recognize that something is not right
with him. With health and safety, it is best to start with the very
basic health and safety concerns.”
"Emotion without words.”
7. July/August 2009
"The cover first attracted me to read further as it implicated many
issues, not just about metals, but the safety issues. It appears as
though we are being physically taken over by industry, chemicals and
other hazards.”
"Still, in this day and age, with all the knowledge out there, people
still are exposed to chemicals that could be avoided by using the proper
personal protective equipment.”
"I like this cover because it attracted my attention and motivated me
to learn more about the heavy metal issue.”
"In a glance, one can make the connection between a workplace hazard
and the adverse effects to workers.”
6. June 2004
"Nothing is more important than ensuring the safety of young workers
as they embark on a new path in their lives. As parents, business leaders
and educators, we need to ensure that we take the lead in ensuring that
each and every young worker entering the work force is protected.”
"The play on words and the great use of imagery of ‘The Parent Gap’
did it for me. Very clever, very visual, very good way to introduce
a very important subject.”
"It depicts how fragile our young workers are, how we need to protect
the health and safety of our youth, who become our replacements in the
work force.”
"We moved a long way in making our young workers aware of the hazard.
This was a start for many.”
5. January/February 1990
"It depicts both the responsibility of workers to protect themselves
and the employer’s responsibility to provide the education and equipment
necessary for workers to fulfill their responsibilities.”
"‘Protect yourself’ is what we have had to do for many decades to survive
the workplace and what we will have to do forever to avoid the consequences
of not being safety-minded on and off the job.”
"It reflects the biggest obstacle I have to face as a safety person trying
to get people to take responsibility for their safety.”
"It struck me as a great link between our past, present and future.”
