System Safety Winter Briefing Kit - TP 14181

This fourteen CD-ROM collection contains various promotional products produced by System Safety headquarters and regional offices. This package is primarily designed to provide the regional System Safety Specialists with a central bank of materials for the regional safety briefings. However, this collection could well serve industry in setting up their own safety briefings.

Copies of the Winter Briefing Kit can be purchased from Transport Canada's Online Publications Storefront.
