The NAOSH Week Logo
The NAOSH Week logo- three hands forming an equilateral triangle - portrays
the three participating nations - Canada, the United States and Mexico
- and symbolizes joint venture, cooperation and the commitment to the
common goals shared by all occupational health and safety partners. The
three sides stand for partnership of the three countries in this joint
occupational health and safety venture, as well as all tripartite partnerships
between business, labour and governments. The connected hands illustrate
assistance and cooperation on many levels - from interpersonal relationships
in the workplace to international exchange. |
