About the Manufacturers' Health and Safety Association

The Manufacturers' Health and Safety Association (MHSA) became a not-for-profit safety association and Certifying Partner in 1992. The MHSA has continued to work diligently with Alberta employers to accomplish the MHSAs mission of achieving worksite wellness, and reducing occupational injuries and illnesses through Education, Training, Advocacy and Partnership in numerous manufacturing industries.

To achieve this mission, the MHSA collaborates with government and industry leaders by continuing to develop and offer relevant health and safety programs and products, such as the Rigging Resource Centre and this Resource Centre, to assist manufacturing companies in becoming industry-leading safety performers.

MHSA became involved in the development of this resource centre after a workplace incident that occurred in 2019 in the Province of Alberta. Working with the Employer, the Crown Prosecutor, SIS, a plan was set forth to create safety awareness in the manufacturing industry where Hot Work was being conducted. It is our hope that you find this information useful.

In addition to first-rate safety products and services that make the MHSA stand out as a leading health and safety training provider, the MHSA is deeply committed to serve as the Safety Advocate for over 1600 members, who employ more than 60,000 workers across the province of Alberta. The MHSA ensures all their members and workers have a strong voice regarding crucial health and safety related issues that directly affect them.
