Operation Lifesaver

A Partnership in Public Railway Safety

General

Operation Lifesaver, in cooperation with businesses, governments, railways and other organizations, annually produces a variety of documents, videos and miscellaneous items to assist in all stages of implementing its overall safety program. Some products are specially distributed at safety events while others are used in delivering an audio-visual Operation Lifesaver presentation. We have a variety of presentations specifically designed for youth and adults in different age, occupation and vocational groups. If you would like a presentation to be delivered to your school or organization, please contact Operation Lifesaver as listed on our Contact page or click: Request a Presentation. Hard copy formats of selected materials are normally reserved and used to supplement presentations given by our certified presenters, however, small quantities may be obtained by writing to OL at admin@operationlifesaver.ca
