Shaw took IAPA from basic safety and training to broadened, holistic approach
Maureen Shaw grew up in a small town in British Columbia where a siren would sound every time someone was injured or killed at the mill. For Shaw, whose father, a union steward, often took on the riskier jobs at the mill in return for “danger pay,” the siren was terrifying because there was no way to know who was hurt or how bad. The workers often went on strike to protest the poor safety conditions.
