The IRSST Connection

IRSST is a tremendously important Canadian resource for hygienists. If you do not regularly visit their website, we strongly encourage you to do so. This page serves as a link to recent reports published in English by IRSST that CCOH believes are of interest to hygienists across Canada. We of course are only scratching the surface of a vast store of health and safety related material. Sadly, not all of the documents published by IRSST are available in English, but we hope that by linking with these items we will help encourage the production of more materials in both official languages. IRSST is now informing us of new reports as they are released. We encourage you to browse the IRSST website for materials that are not on the following list. Clicking on the link under description for a specific item will take you to a description of the document (or in the case of direct links, to the document itself). To download pdf documents, click on the link in the rightmost column.
