The Association of Canadian Search, Employment & Staffing Services (ACSESS) sponsored safety group will receive rebates totalling $900,681.07. The safety group, comprised of over 65 ACSESS member firm accounts, will be awarded the rebates for initiatives that significantly reduced both the severity and frequency of workplace injuries in 2009.

The association also encourages members to share ideas and pool resources by organizing joint meetings and leadership workshops and helps participants to develop action plans.
