Committee Formation
All Enform franchise safety courses are initiated by a written request from one or more of the six industry trade associations (CAGC, CAODC, CAPP, CEPA, PSAC and SEPAC). These initiatives are then steered by a Committee composed of representatives, selected by the sponsoring associations(s). In addition, the participation of pertinent government or regulatory agencies is often requested by the industry. An Enform representative serves as a non-voting secretary to the Committee. Each Committee, and Enform, has an established mandate, structure and responsibilities, as outlined below:
