Call for Expression of Interest for Emergency Facilities Management Human Resource Listing Service

Emergent situations occur all the time in Canadian Healthcare Institutions, yet maintaining Business Continuity is essential and could be compromised by the unavailability of experienced human resources.  Particularly in the context of a local disaster situation, be it natural, man-made, or pandemic in nature.

There are also situations arising where health care facilities that are heavily involved in project work need temporary assistance, and specific knowledge and skills, to help them see the projects through to completion.

Standards are coming to life with the introduction of the CSA Z7396.1 Interactive Standard, now available on the iTunes App Store. You can access all of the standard's content through your Apple iPhone or iPad and enjoy dynamic navigation which saves the history of your page references for easy access to cross referenced sections of the standard. Other features include hyperlinks to regulator documents, colour image galleries and examples of critical equipment, gas flow animations and demonstrations and a 'select and share' content feature.

This interactive product is the first of many to come, from different program areas. Give CSA your feedback to help make it a valuable tool for you.
