Volunteer Chapters

Chapter members have the opportunity through Networking and Knowledge Exchange (NKE) to participate in peer-centred, professional development sessions focussed on topics of interest in health and safety.

Scope of Programming
Networking and Knowledge Exchange is intended to:

  • Enhance health and safety knowledge;
  • Allow sharing of best practices; and
  • Promote excellence in health and safety practices among member and non-member firms.

Topics are planned annually in line with IAPA strategic direction and complement existing IAPA information, products and services. Chapters are encouraged to use environmental scans and other member surveys to identify local areas of interest and to use members as facilitators. The focus of Networking and Knowledge Exchange is intended to be on learning through facilitated discussion or other group work.
