Reader Panel (34)
Six times a year, the editor of Canadian Occupational Safety magazine conducts a brief survey on a timely health and safety topic. These surveys are your opportunity, as a COS reader and subscriber, to share the challenges and concerns you face in your profession, and to voice your opinion (anonymously, of course!). We publish the results of each survey as a "Reader Panel Report" on our Web site and in the next issue of COS magazine.
