Pat Evangelisto spent 25 years in manufacturing – initially in Human Resources where he obtained his CHRP (Certified Human Resources Professional). During this period of time he held senior HR positions where he was responsible for everything from labour negotiations and labour relations to recruitment and benefits administration. From the beginning, health and safety was a priority. Not only did he understand the importance of providing a safe environment for people to work in, but also saw the benefits of involving people in making workplaces safe.
The one-day Signaller and Traffic Control Person program is designed to assist those who work as signallers or as traffic control persons understand the relevant legislation, learn the risks associated with their work, and find out how to manage those risks.
