Update on Department of Environment and Labour order regarding
Fire Incident in RAC
On Dec. 29, 2007, we had an incident at the farm involving
a feedcart catching fire. It was reported on Jan. 17, 2008
that the Department of Environment and Labour issued an order
to
NSAC to provide them with all supporting documents of our investigation.
They have now re-issued that order to correct some information
in the original document.
These orders will be posted on all Occupational Health and
Safety bulletin boards on campus.
If anyone would like to have a copy of these orders they will
be available at the Safety & Security Office in the Dairy
building.
