ABSTRACT
Individual industrial groups or trade groups are other potential sources of information and assistance for safety and loss prevention professionals. Often a specic industrial group or trade group has an internal safety committee and offers safety and loss prevention assistance to their members. For example, the North American Association of Meat Processors has provided a number of safety services to their members, including a specic industry safety and health manual, an internal safety and health audit mechanism audit instrument, and safety awards to their individual members to recognize their efforts in the areas of safety and loss prevention. Trade groups and industrial groups can often be rich sources of information and assistance, if the safety and loss prevention professional simply contacts the group.
