HAMILTON, ON - December 11, 2008 - The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) added three new posters to its poster program to help workplaces promote health and safety. Just in time for flu season, the posters illustrate and promote safe work practices such as helping to stop the spread of viruses by practicing healthy hygiene habits and being sensitive to using scented products in the workplace. The new posters added to the series include Hand Washing, Prevent the Spread, and Be Air Aware.
The posters are double-sided, in English and French. They are available as free downloads from the CCOHS website, or for sale as glossy prints.
More information about pricing and how to order the posters is available on the CCOHS website.
