Workplace Safety Matters. A tragedy can happen in an instant. The John Petropoulos Memorial Fund (JPMF) was started after the on-duty death of Const. John Petropoulos in 2000. John fell to his death while investigating a break & enter complaint at a warehouse, because there was no safety railing to warn him - or anyone else - of the danger. The JPMF raises awareness about workplace safety issues facing all workers, including first responders. Visit jpmf.ca for details.
