The Canadian Forces Sports Program hasrecently undergone changes to better meetthe needs of its participants.

Over the past 10 years, the program,which includes sporting events at the localregional, national and international level,has been sustained despite a significantreduction in the strength of the CF and anincrease in operational tempo. A recentreview indicated that some changes werenecessary.

“The programs at the unit, base andregional level have evolved over the yearsand a review revealed the need to adjustthe sports played at the national and inter-national level,” said Gaétan Melançon,Director of Physical Education with theCanadian Forces Personnel SupportAgency (CFPSA).

Data compiled from the last threeyears indicated a significant decline in par-ticipation in some sports, while others,available and fully funded, were not playedacross the CF at all levels. Participationrates are key as National SportsChampionships and Conseil Internationaldu Sport Militaire (CISM) teams are anoutgrowth of local and regional competi-tions. The CFPSA sports directorate ana-lyzed participation trends and issues inevery sport at every level to ensure a com-prehensive yet fiscally responsible sportsprogram, available to as many members aspossible.

“In conjunction with all CF bases andwings, we concluded that an adjustment tothe CF sports program was required toaddress these changing participationrates,” said Melançon.

The following changes will be intro-duced:

· Conseil International du SportMilitaire sports program will be cut backby reducing team size, conducting fewertraining camps in each sport, and reducingthe number of CF members on CISMtechnical committees;

· Broomball will be dropped from theCF National Sports Championships;

· Fast pitch softball will become a slowpitch championship;

· CF broomball, squash and badmintonteams will no longer participate at theirrespective Canadian National CivilianChampionships;

· CF National Men’s HockeyChampionship will become non-contact;

· CF Nationals will no longer be con-ducted for biathlon, triathlon, taekwondoand swimming, but will continue as part ofthe CISM program.

While these cuts will affect some ath-letes, competitive sports remain an integralpart of the continuing development of CFmembers and a priority of CFPSA.

“We will continue to keep the overallprograms available to everyone who wantsto participate,” said Greg Pearson,Executive Vice-President, CFPSA.“However a minimal critical mass isrequired for sports to be played within theCF Sports program. We will continue tomonitor the trends and adjust the programaccordingly.”

Locally, changes to the CF Sports pro-gram will have a significant impact on thebroomball and softball programs at 8Wing/CFB Trenton.

“Our broomball teams have been verysuccessful during the past several years atboth the CF Regional and National level-our men’s team won silver in the CFNational Championship this year and ourwomen’s team finished fourth at theCanadian Broomball Championships twoyears ago. Although the majority of ourfemale broomball players are now playingwomen’s hockey instead of broomball, ourmale broomball and softball players arevery disappointed,” said Manny Raspberry,Fitness and Sports Director in Trenton.

Raspberry added, “the good news forour hockey players is that they will nolonger have to play contact hockey at theregional and national level after playingnon-contact all year. Few people remem-ber that this was an initiative by our Wingauthorities about three years ago becauseof several serious injuries incurred byTrenton players during regional hockey.It is also good news for our slow pitchplayers participating in our 10-12 teamleague this year, to be able to compete atthe regional and national level instead ofan ‘invitational’ competition. Trenton willcontinue to support the CF sports pro-gram for the development of unit cohe-sion, teamwork, morale and a high degreeof esprit de corps for which sports contin-ues to promote in our members.”

La semaine du 4 au 10mai 2003 est désignée« Semaine nord-améri-caine de la sécurité et dela santé au travail ».Cette année, le thèmeest « La prévention, c’estla solution ».

À la 8e Escadre/BFCTrenton, nous aimerionsl’élargir pour inclure« Travailler ensemble entoute sécurité pour unavenir en santé ». Ceconcept est très connu àla 8e Escadre Trenton,où la Politique de sécu-rité générale est appuyéeinconditionnellementpar les dirigeants syndi-caux qui participent à unpartenariat en matièrede santé et de sécurité.Récemment, nos effortsnous ont permis deréduire la fréquence et lagravité des accidents.C’est la bonne nouvelle.La mauvaise nouvelle,pour trop de militairesde la BFC Trenton, c’estque des accidents con-tinuent de survenir.

Nos comportementsaussi évoluent. Selonune récente vérificationde sécurité générale, deplus en plus d’unités éla-

borent des programmesen bonne et due formepour s’attaquer à desproblèmes comme la« sécurité du condition-nement physique » et la« sécurité après lesheures de travail ». Cesprogrammes sont encours de réalisationsmalgré des pressionsprofessionnelles plusélevées que jamais, signed’une nouvelle attitudequi nous aidera à attein-dre l’excellence danstoutes nos entreprises.

Comme l’énoncenotre Politique, je croisfermement que la sécu-rité nous incombe àtous. Néanmoins, nousavons des responsabi-lités en ce qui a trait à lasécurité et à la santédans nos installations.Ne fermez jamais lesyeux sur une lacune sansprendre les mesuresnécessaires pour la cor-riger.

En ce sens, je veuxrendre hommage àplusieurs autres « parte-nariats » qui sont indis-pensables pour garantirl’efficacité de nos pro-grammes de sécurité et

de santé. Entre autrespartenaires, notons desorganismes gouverne-mentaux, des groupes deservice communautaire,des associations profes-sionnelles de sécurité etde santé, et le personnelde la BFC Trenton. Jetiens à remercier, en par-ticulier, les gens qui, àtous les niveaux de notreorganisation, ont misleur leadership au ser-vice de tous. Ils ontpeut-être évité uneblessure, éliminé undanger ou simplementfait la promotion duprogramme. Nosdossiers confirmentvotre participation.

CFB Esquimalt

On April 16, a 28-member team of militarycommunicators mountedbicycles and headed east,marking the start of an80-day bike trek acrossCanada.

Commemorating 100years of military com-munication service inCanada, the tour willshowcase the contribu-tion made to Canadianheritage by Canadiansignal units. The trekwill begin at theMemorial Park inEsquimalt and end July1 at St. John’s, NFLD.

“In the most basicform, military communi-cations over the past 100years has consisted ofusing a despatch riderto deliver a message.Originally this wasaccomplished using abicycle that was eventu-ally replaced by a motor-

cycle,” says Capt CaseyMacLeod, ExerciseMercury Trek team cap-tain. “In the spirit ofthis, despatching amessage from one oceanto another is truly anhonour.”

A heraldic proclama-tion or “message” will becarried with the teamand signed by theGovernor General, aswell as the provincialLieutenant Governorsalong the way.

The proclamationwill then be placed in theCanadian ForcesCommunication andElectronic Museum inKingston, Ontario,which will benefit byfunds raised by the team.

Cycling 59 out of 80days with an average of140 km a day will be atest of both mental and

physical endurance, saysCapt MacLeod, butit Œs a challenge theteam has prepared forsince training began inNovember.

“I think the biggestchallenge by far will bethe mental challenge ofendurance cycling day in

and day out though allkinds of tough weather,strong headwinds andfatigue,” he says. “Likeany military activity, thetrek’s success will dependon the importance thatwe place on team build-ing. From my perspec-tive over the past few

months of training, Ibelieve we have such ateam.”

The team will passthrough both large citiesand smaller communitiesin an effort to bringawareness to the event.In each provincial capi-tal, they will hold a cere-

mony at war memorialsor cenotaphs.

“I want as many peo-ple to know that militarycommunications is cele-brating its centennialanniversary,” says CaptMacLeod. “Having oneof the first independent-ly organized Signal

Corps is something forwhich I believeCanadians should beproud.”

The HeraldicProclamation

“The CanadianSignalling Corp, one of thefirst independently organ-ized Signal Corps in theBritish Empire, wasauthorized on October 24,1903.

In this centennial yearof military communica-tions in Canada, we offerour congratulations to allformer and currentCanadian Forces memberswho, over the past 100years, have helped shapeour country by providingcommunications services,both at home and abroad,in times of peace, war, con-flict and disaster.”

By despatching thisproclamation acrossCanada during MercuryTrek 2003, a bicycle trekfrom Victoria, BritishColumbia, to St. John’s,Newfoundland andLabrador, the teammembers will perform ina symbolic manner thebasic function of com-munications: “Gettingthe message through .”

(NC)—Shopping for afull-size gas grill mayseem easy enough: Liftsome lids, comparestyles, pick a color. But ifyou want to choose thebest (and safest) grill foryour money, dig a littledeeper. Ask a few ques-tions about the grill’sbasic features before youbuy.

• How does a gas grillwork? It’s really prettysimple. There are burnersto create heat. Abovethem you’ll find sometype of system to dis-perse the heat from theburners (inverted v-shaped metal bars,ceramic bri-quettes, lavarock, etc.). Above theselie the cooking grates.Together, these elementsmake up the cooking sys-tem.

• How many burnersdo I need? Better grillsgenerally have two ormore separate burners(not just control knobs).They provide the bestheat control. Mostlower-priced grills haveonly one burner whichmay result in hot andcold spots on the cookinggrate. Look for multipleburners made of high-grade stainless steel, theywill last longer.

• What about BTUs?BTUs (British ThermalUnits) measure howmuch volume of gas agrill can burn, not heatoutput, so more is notnecessarily better. A grill35,000 BTUs to reach atemperature of 550°F.

Too many BTUs cancause damage to burnersand reduce the life of thegrill. In general, largegrills with large cooking

surfaces require higherBTUs.

• How is heat distrib-uted? Most grills rely onlava rock or ceramic bri-quettes to distribute theheat from the burners tothe cooking surface.Drippings from the foodtend to pool in these sys-tems causing unwantedflare-ups. Instead, lookfor a system with invert-ed v-shaped metal bars(such as the Flavorizer®

bars pioneered byWeber) to funnel thegrease away from theburner flames, greatlyreducing flare-ups.

• Where does thegrease go? Some manu-facturers do not include acatch pan, but insteadinstruct you to hang anempty soup can to a wireto collect grease. Othersprovide shallow pans thatspill easily whenremoved. Look for acatch pan that is at least1-inch deep. It should beeasy to access from thefront of the grill.

• Is the plumbing a

safe dis-tance from hotsurfaces? Make sure anyelectrical wiring and,most importantly, the gasline plumbing is set asafe distance from hotsurfaces. A grill with thegas tank storage off tothe side is safer than onewith storage directlybelow the hot undersideof the grill.

• Does your grillcome with a tank and atank scale? If you have tobuy the tank separately, itadds to the total price ofthe grill. Ask before youget a surprise at thecheckout counter. Andlook for a grill with atank scale—you’ll neverrun out of fuel mid-bar-becue.

• Who’s backing yourpurchase? Will the man-ufacturer be aroundwhen you need advicenext summer or parts 10years from now?Thorough, easy-to-readinstructions should be agiven, along with a 24-hour toll-free hotline.

• What’s covered bythe warranty? The war-ranty should includemore promises than fineprint and caveats. Askbefore you end up payingextra for what youthought was covered.And don’t compromiseon anything less than a10-year warranty.

Let us show you how our“Practice of Dentistry” can benefit you and your family.

What to look for in a gas grill(NC)—Harmful bacteria on raw ground beef or in itsjuices can be transferred to your hands, cutting boards,knives, and taps during preparation and cooking. Here aresome tips on how to rid ground beef of potentially harm-ful bacteria:

• Wash your hands before and after handling any rawfood especially meat, poultry and seafood

• Cook raw ground beef properly in order to prevent ill-ness. Cook to an internal temperature of 71°C (160ºF)

• Use a suitable temperature measuring device, such asa single-use temper-ature indicator, an instant-read fork-style thermometer, or an instant-read digital thermometer.

• When using probe type thermometers, remove meatfrom the source of heat and insert the probe through theside of the thickest burger into the centre of the patty.Ensure a temperature of 71°C (160ºF) has been achieved.Take the temperature in several patties to ensure all theburgers are cooked.

• Ensure that any surfaces contacted by raw meat or itsjuices have been cleaned thoroughly.

• Do not allow ready to eat foods such as lettuce, tocontact raw meat or its juices.

• Use clean utensils and plates when removing cookedmeats from the heat source.

• Keep hot foods at 60°C (140°F) or above, and refrig-erate food that is below 60°C (140°F) within two hours.

Okay, this may soundtotally paranoid, but I’mstarting to think that Jenhas some voodoo dollreplica of me and takes itout whenever I begin toslack off on my workouts.

It seems like every-time I slip back into anunhealthy lifestyle, I getsick. Sure, I suppose Icould have contracted thevirus my son recentlyhad, but my theory seemsfar more likely.

I met with Jen lastweek to do the long-awaited measurementsand weight assessment.What a disappointment!Since February I haveonly lost 2 kg and 5 cm.Sensing my distress atnot losing as muchweight as I had hoped,Jen decided to sit downwith me and revisit my

goals. Under each of thethree goals, I had –weight loss, tone, andflexibility – Jen urged meto list ways I couldimprove on each.

Under weight loss, thedreaded food journal wasadded (mine is presentlycollecting dust on top ofmy fridge). Maintainingit regularly, stated Jen,was an excellent way ofdiscovering where yourweak spots lie and howmuch you are consuming.In addition, Jen hasadvised me to add a fifthday of cardio to helpreduce my weight by oneto two pounds per week.You can imagine myenthusiasm.

As for tone, Jen sug-gested I continue to keepup with the four days ofweight training per weekand perhaps try crosstraining. This, she noted,

allows you to use musclesthat otherwise may beignored. I practically splita gut when she suggestedaerobics, considering thattakes as much coordina-tion as karate. I don’tmind falling flat on myface in front of a couplefriends, but in a roomfulof people, that’s com-pletely different.

The self-defenceclasses will certainly helpwith my flexibility goal.Considering I have tokeep up with a black beltand a fitness instructor, Idon’t think I have achoice in the matter.

On a final note, as ifthe week couldn’t get anymore depressing, I had togo in for the first fittingof my bridesmaid dresson Thursday. Perhaps Imay have been a tad bitunrealistic to think Icould lose an entire inchbefore my friend’s wed-ding in June. I was prettymuch in a state of panicby the time I squeezedinto my dress. I’m pray-ing that the ceremony isquick, because I’m notsure how long I can holdmy breath for in thatbaby.

437 Squadron proud to serve OP APOLLO personnelby Capt. Jeremy Brett

Good day to the spouses,children and personnel ofthe military community.

It is with great pridethat I write this articleknowing that it is yourloved ones that we trans-port around the globeand continually resupply.

We at 437 Squadronfly an ongoing weeklymission that brings menand material to the CFNavy and the TAL(Tactical Airlift) detach-ment located in theMiddle East. Our cargoincludes ImmediateO p e r a t i o n a lRequirement parts alongwith ordinary commonsupplies plus our mostvaluable cargo, the pro-fessional military person-nel whom we chaufferover there and bring backon an ongoing basis.

We also bring “pre-cious” mail and carepackages from loved onesback home to the anx-iously awaiting personnelin the Middle East. I canpersonally speak aboutthe tremendous motiva-tional uplift when receiv-ing mail or a care packagefrom home, it is like amini Christmas knowingthat a piece of home isnow with you.

The Squadron tempois quite high and ourCircadian rhythm (sleep-ing pattern) gets wonkyas we fly through 14 timezones in five days, againon an ongoing basis,although you wouldn’tknow it when looking atthe Squadron membersof 437. They are commit-ted to providing excel-lence to our passengersand, in fact, most of thecrew is the same crewthat the Prime Ministerwould have when he fliesaround the world. Theyare extremely friendlyand willing to help oneanother to ensure a safeand expedient mission, allthis on a handful of rest.Well done!

We constantly receivepraise from many of ourpassengers and it is notuncommon to hear “thisis the best flight I haveever been on” comingfrom our troops.

Rest assured that it iswith great honour andprofessional pride that weare committed to resup-plying our personnel inthe Middle East.

Since its creation thisLockheed-build aircrafthas accumulated manyfascinating facts, whichturn it into a legend of itsown right.

The very first questionwhich should be asked isthe name of the aircraft,why Hercules? Well, thename Hercules was cho-sen to carry on Lockheed’sstellar theme, whichHercules is the name of anorthern constellation.Others would relate the

aircraft to the Greekmythological hero knownfor its strength andcourage, which is certainlyvery well suited for suchan extraordinary aircraft.But then if you ask your-self why the Hercules suc-ceeded, excelled and stillexist after all these years,then these are much morecomplex questions toanswer.

Why has the Herculeslasted so long? How wasthe Hercules able to prove itself under so many

demanding conditions?What makes the Herculesthe leader in modern air-lift transportation? Thesequestions have simpleanswers: Dependability,versatility, and adaptabili-ty. One may ask, depend-able in what sense? Well,to put it simply depend-ability involves factors likeeconomy, payload, range,safety, and a means tooperate in many previous-ly unreachable locationthroughout the world.Versatility simply indi-cates the all around waysthe Hercules has been per-forming around the world.Adaptability is closelyrelated to versatility, butrefers more into the waysinto which the basic

Hercules aircraft is con-stantly altered, equippedand redesigned in order tofit the needs of all thenations using this aircraft.

It quickly becameobvious that with its fourbladed turbo-propengines, the Hercules per-formance exceeded allother transport aircraftthen available. Oneimportant feature is thecapability/ability to con-vert the cargo betweencontrasting types of loads,which demand a quickon/off loading and easychange from one configu-ration to another.Remarkably the Herculesdemonstrated its ability tooperate everywhere in theworld from surfaces suchas gravel, dirt, bare soil,sandy loam, sod, grass,pierced steel plank, con-

crete, macadam, and ofcourse the polar ice caps.

The Hercules was alsoconverted into a fire truck;it is able to spread 3000gallons of fire retardant ina 150 foot wide by 2000-foot long path in less than6 seconds. To give theHercules a better econom-ical means of operationand cargo load; extra fuse-lage sections were addedahead and behind thewing. The Hercules todayhas increased its fame allover the world. The sightof the Hercules give to theonlooker more than thememory of the numerousmilitary achievements ithas accomplish as a trans-port aircraft, the Herculesis well known for its con-tinuous mercy missions,

which have given the air-craft an image/trade markas “The Angel of Mercy”for its world wide human-itarian operations. TheHercules spearheaded res-cue efforts in almost everyknown kind of disasters,bringing food, machinery,aid workers and suppliesof all sort.

Speaking of achieve-ments, one of which couldarguably be its greatesthappened in 1963 at sea.The Hercules is to myknowledge the largest air-craft ever to have landedon or taken off from anaircraft carrier. A USMCKC-130F set the record in1963 by making 29 touch-and-go landings and 21unarrested, full stop land-ings and takeoffs on theU.S.S. Forrestal. Isn’t thatamazing!

North American Occupational Health & Safety Week

There is a particular type of gloveavailable to protect you againstjust about every kind of hazard toyour hands.Ask your safety super-visor about the right gloves for

your job.Here is a sampling of the

many kinds of hand protectionavailable:

Rubber and rubber-like syn-thetic materials are made to pro-tect against corrosive chemicalsand other chemical hazards.When working around chemicalsit is extremely important tochoose exactly the right materialto match the hazard; materialswhich appear to be similar may

prove to be ineffective.Cloth gloves are intended to

be used for minor hazards likescratches and scrapes.

Leather gloves provide moreprotection against cuts and bruis-es. Leather gloves are also wornover the rubber gloves which pro-vide some protection against elec-trical hazards.

Gloves containing metal meshprotect against severe cutting haz-ards, such as those encountered in

food processing.Gloves and mittens made of

insulating material protect againstextreme hot and cold and preventburns and frostbite.

Thin gloves made of syntheticand natural substances are used ina variety of occupations becausethey provide protection while stillallowing finger dexterity.They areused to protect against infection inhealth care and food handling,and to protect against static elec-

tricity and contamination in elec-tronics and other industries.

Barrier creams are used inconjunction with gloves to pre-vent irritating substances fromcontacting the skin.

It’s important to know whennot to wear gloves. Never weargloves or other loose-fitting cloth-ing around rotating machinerybecause you could become entan-gled and pulled into the equip-ment.

Be sure to get your mitts on the right kind of gloves

A respirator is like a breath offresh air for people workingaround harmful particles,mists,and vapours.

About 5 million workersin the U.S. use respiratorsevery day on the job. Someexperts say the use of respira-tors saves as many as 1,600lives each year and protectsworkers from at least 4,000injuries.

But choosing the rightrespirator isn’t as easy as youmight think. Proper respira-tory protection is determinedby a number of factors:

Oxygen content of air;Presence of toxic gas Concentration of dust or

fibre;Length of exposure;Workload while wearing

the respirator;Facial fit;Availability of appropri-

ate respirators,and Availability and reliability

of maintenance for non-dis-posable respirators;

It is always important toconsult your supervisor whenchoosing the right type of

respirator. Using the wrongtype of respirator can be asdangerous as not using one atall.Here’s a survey of the dif-ferent types of respirators onthe market. Once chosen, itis equally important toinspect it before each use andto care for it in accordancewith the manufacturer’s sug-gestions. Always conduct athorough “fit test” to ensuremaximum protection.

While inspecting therespirator, check to see thatthe clamps, straps, harnessesand valves are in good condi-tion. Also check the respira-tor for cracks in the glass andwhere the rubber seal fits toyour face.

Nuisance dust and mist masks

Nuisance dust and mistmasks are disposable, light-weight, and inexpensive.They are made with twostraps that should fit snuglyaround your head.The maskshould cover your mouthand nose.Nuisance dust and

mist masks offer minimalprotection from harmfulparticles and mists and oftenform a poor fit to the facebecause of facial contoursand facial hair. They aredesigned to be used only asprotection against low con-centrations of nuisance dusts,mists, pollen, and animaldusts.

Half-mask respirators

A half-mask respiratorhas a rubber face seal and fitsover the nose, mouth andunder the chin.The particles,vapours, mists, and gas arefiltered out using specificcanisters and filters, whicheither filter out the contami-nant or absorb it. These arelightweight respirators thatdo not protect the full-face or

cover the eyes. Half-maskrespirators cannot be used inoxygen-deficient environ-ments or environmentswhere there is a high concen-tration of contaminants.

One of the most impor-tant safety factors whenusing a half-face respirator iscreating an airtight sealbetween your face and theface-piece seal of the mask.Beards and even a two-daybeard growth can get in theway of a good seal and stopthe mask from functioningproperly.

Full-face respirators

Full-face respiratorscover your eyes, nose, mouthand chin. Full-face respira-tors give the same protectionas half-mask respirators withthe added protection ofshielding your eyes fromharmful gases, vapours, andmists.

Although the full-facemask provides a better sealthan the half-mask, it isheavier than the half-mask.

Workers who wear eyeglass-es may find that their glassesget in the way of a good sealaround their temples.

Powered-air respirators

Powered-air respiratorsuse a small battery-poweredfan to force the air throughthe filters and canisters,allowing the worker tobreath more easily. The fanand filter can be mounted onthe face-piece or carried onthe worker’s back. Powered-air respirators are available onhalf-mask, full-face, andhood respirators. Like air-purifying respirators, pow-ered-air respirators cannot beused in oxygen deficientenvironments.The life of thebattery limits their use, aswell as the types of canistersand filters available.

Supplied-air respirators

Supplied-air respiratorsdo not filter the air or absorbcontaminants from the air.These respirators supply you

with fresh air from an airtank or a supply line. Theyare used when oxygen levelsfall below 19.5 per cent.There are two different typesof supplied-air respirators. Atight-fitting respirator fitslike a half-face or full-facerespirator.A loose fitting res-pirator is not unlike whatdeep-sea divers use; this typecovers the whole head.

Tips

When choosing theright respirator, begin bytalking to your supervisor.

Make sure the filters andcanisters are the same brandas the mask itself.

Inspect the respiratorbefore each use. Be aware ofits limitations.

Always use the respiratorin accordance with the man-ufacturer’s instructions.

You must be medically fitto wear a respirator

You must be properlytrained and knowledgeableabout how to wear a respira-tor.

A breath of fresh air--the importance of respiratory protection

Our sense of hearing contributesgreatly to our enjoyment in life andallows us to experience the best lifehas to offer.

However, our ability to hear canbe threatened by excessive exposureto loud noise. This noise can comefrom a wide range of sources both onand off the job. Hearing damage canoccur suddenly, caused by an explo-sion or other excessive noise. Moreoften, it occurs gradually from asteady exposure to loud noise frommachinery, compressed air equip-ment and other sources.

When you are exposed to toomuch noise, the delicate structuresinside your ear are affected. Whenthe noise exposure is too loud, goeson too long or occurs too frequently,these structures can no longer recov-er and hearing loss occurs. Noise-induced hearing loss happens overtime, but the results are permanent.

The best way to prevent hearingdamage is to eliminate the source ofthe noise — by making equipmentquieter. Another method is to sepa-rate the worker from the noise withsound-insulating barriers.

The final line of defence is towear personal hearing protectiondevices. Hearing protection must beproperly worn to be effective. Reviewthe box or package from which youget your hearing protection and seeyour supervisor for a demonstrationon the correct use of the equipment.Your safety supervisor will recom-mend the type of hearing protectionyou need. It is your responsibility touse it as directed and to take goodcare of it.

These are the main types of hear-ing protection used at work:

Earplugs fit into your ear canaland shut out the noise. Disposableones made of foam material are madeto be thrown away after wearing.Others are custom fitted to your earand can be cleaned to use again.

Canal caps cover the entrance toyour ear canal.They are mounted ona headband, and are made for morethan one wearing.

Earmuffs are made for protectionagainst higher noise levels, and in thecase of extreme noise, are worn inaddition to earplugs.

You’ll notice nowhere on this list

of approved hearing protection is anymention of wads of cotton or stereoheadphones.These makeshift substi-tutes provide no hearing protectionand should never be used in place ofproper protective equipment.

Take good care of your hearingPPE (Personal ProtectiveEquipment). Clean it according tothe manufacturer’s instructions, usingonly mild soap.

Be aware of common signs ofhearing loss — ringing in the ears,muffled sounds, and inability to hearhigh-pitched or soft sounds.

As part of your employer’s hear-ing protection program, you will berequired to have your hearing testedregularly to detect any problems.

Remember to protect your hear-ing when you are away from work.Wear ear protection for noisy projectssuch as repairing a motorcycle orrunning a lawnmower. Use the rightprotective gear for sports such as ear-muffs for target shooting.

There is no such thing as “gettingused to”loud noise. If the noises don’tseem as loud as they used to, it meansyour hearing is being damaged —

Hearing protection Find out what protective gear you need for materials han-dling — and use it!

To protect against ordinary hazards such as sharp orrough surfaces, heavy leather gloves may be in order.Safety-toed footwear will protect against falling objects.

Hard hats may be required tokeep you safe from overheadhazards.

What about your eyes?Safety eyewear can protectyou from dust and dirt in theair. A more serious hazard tothe eyes is the steel bandingused to secure loads — thecoiled bands hold storedenergy and can lash outwhen released.

Safety goggles must beworn during forklift batterychanging because of thedanger of explosion. Thehigh pressure hydraulic linesin the front of the forklift

driver are also a possible hazard.Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for advice on

PPE when handling chemicals in the warehouse. Youmay need gloves and boots made of special chemical-resistant material. Safety goggles, rubber aprons and evenrespirators may be needed in some instances.

Know what kind of protective clothing and equip-ment you need to wear when you are handling materials.

For those of us who livein diseased Toronto, theongoing SARS scare isthe stuff science fiction ismade of.

In a dense region offive million people, 21have died of this thing,and fewer than 100remain sick. But, despitethat, the normally-clogged walkways underthe bank towers are virtu-ally deserted, the BlueJays are playing to emptyseats and the giant mallsin the northern suburbs,normally teeming withAsian Canadian shop-pers, are silent.

Downtown, the hoteloccupancy rate has fallenfrom a normal 75 percent at this time of yearto just 13 per cent, result-ing in the loss of thou-sands of jobs, and puttingit barely above the eightper cent now being expe-rienced in Hong Kong.

SARS is decimatingalready-weak AirCanada, as the carrierscrambles to fly peoplearound the country with-out touching a wheel onthe suspect asphalt ofPearson Airport. Everyday comes word of a newconvention being can-celled.

Suddenly, the heart ofthe financial district -King and Bay, just stepsaway from my office - is aleper zone.

The big banks havedivided key employeesinto “dirty” and “clean”teams, rotating thembetween home and workin sync with the quaran-tine schedule.

The trading floorshave been sealed off to allvisitors. One bank hasquietly isolated all itsessential folks to a loca-tion north of the city,while another had themshipped to Montreal.

And, speaking of thatcity, an acquaintance ofmine was in Quebec lastweekend to visit family -who refused to see him!Already the premier ofAlberta has said there is“no bloody way” he’dtravel to Toronto rightnow, while the fair-weather friends in theNova Scotia governmenthave suggested no saneperson from there come

here. As far away asWindsor, the hotel busi-ness is reeling, asAmerican visitors balk atcrossing the AmbassadorBridge into an unsafecountry.

Meanwhile, the T.O.scare is big news in theStates and Britain, wherethe major fear of travel toToronto is thatAmericans and Britonswould not be allowedback into their countriesafterwards. Imagine - alifetime trapped in coldCanada!

While the deaths areunfortunate, and whilethe mystery disease isdisquieting, the SARSphenomenon of 2003does offer us another fas-cinating insight into howthe combination of toomuch emotion and toomuch media can create afinancial and economiccrisis. There is now littledoubt that the hospitali-ty, travel and tourism sec-tors in Toronto aredoomed to steep lossesthrough the rest of 2003,and may take years torecover. The reputationof the entire city, whichaccounts for 20 per centof the country’s economy,is in tatters, and will needtens of millions of dollarsin promotion to restore.

In short, what startedas a fear of the unknownhas turned into a bon-efide mess, complete withjobs lost, incomesdestroyed, businessesbankrupted and commu-nities blatantly andunapologetically discrim-inated against. All for adisease that will likely killone-one hundredth ofthe people that influenza

does, and which - it nowseems - started, peakedand waned in a matter ofa month.

This is the same kindof emotional epidemicthat led to the near-panicwhich preceded Y2K, orthe journey from NewYear’s Eve, 1999 to NewYear’s Day, 2000. We sawit earlier, as well, whenstock markets werecrashed by the Asian Fluin 1998, just as we expe-rienced the reverse whenmarkets soared irra-tionally during the tech-nology - dot com bubble.A decade earlier, Torontowas in the grip of a realestate-buying frenzywhich sent prices to apoint from which theycould only crash.

SARS is almost a self-fulfilling event, a fearfulgasp leading to a conse-quence that - for mostpeople - ends up beingfar worse that contractingthe disease itself, fromwhich more than 90 percent of people fullyrecover.

So, remember thistime. Remember theinsanity of the response;the disconnect betweenthe reality of the situa-tion and the ultimateresults; the ease withwhich most people letdown their neighbourswhen they feared forthemselves. The practicallessons might be toalways put things in per-spective, and avoid mak-ing any decision whenyour stomach is in yourthroat.
