Roger Worth  Winnipeg doctor is somewhat somewhat less than amused about the contents of a recent envelope envelope he received from the nation's capital. On opening, the doctor found 'an expensive, glossy,' four-color advertisement promoting promoting the glories of a report on preventive medicine commissioned commissioned by the Conference of Deputy Ministers of Health, Canada. Roger Worth is Director, Public Affairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The promotion piece details contents of the "198-page monograph" and includes positive positive observations on the publication publication from prominent health urofessionals and authoritative urnals. It's obvious to the doctor that hordes of Ottawa bureaucrats bureaucrats have spent a lot of time, ■ effort and taxpayer dollars to -ensure 1 the report will receive the broadest distribution possible. possible. - , 1 Which is probably reasonable, reasonable, considering that preven tive medicine and' its effect on overall health costs is becoming an important issue in Canada. Included with the high-class sales pitch to the .Winnipeg physician is an order form (please print) requesting name, » firm, iddressi city, province, etc., etc., etc. There is also a slot to write in the "enclosed $" and others for Visa and Master Card charge numbers. Meanwhile, another section of the advertisement carefully indicates orders must be "pre- ' paid" by postal money order or cheque 1o the order of the Receiver General of Canada. The doctor's problem: "I note with interest the price of the publication is nowhere to be found.' I also note that the order must be prepaid." The doctor wonders "how much this classic bureaucratic bungling will cost Canadian taxpayers." It's a good question to ask, particularly at a time when the ■ ' bureaucrats are getting into the "promotion"' business in a big way, It's up to you to know the safe way to handle any machinery, equipment or potentially dangerous rpaterials in your workplace. It's up to your employer to provide you with the information and supervision so that you and your fellow workers can work safely. Under The Occupational Health and Safety Act you have a right to know and a right to participate in maintaining a safe and healthy workplace. If you have a problem or a concern about safety on your job, - talk to your supervisor. It is everyone's responsibility to work safely. VVI UIW AlWiiCt* ' It can work for you.
