A warning from Parks Canada reminds outdoor workers to be prepared for bears by travelling in groups, carrying bear spray, and driving with care.

Weekend DIY warriors are getting busy as the weather warms. But before you get out there with the power tools, please review these safety videos and make sure you are prepared.

The WorkSafeBC YouTube channel has nearly 14-million video views – and now this popular source of safety information is available on an app for iPhone, iPod touch iPad, along with Apple and Android tablets.
