Hi all,
I would give a shout out to archaeologists working with veterans in the
field and lab. I believe there are DOD or VA sponsored programs to that
effect, emphasizing retraining and working with disabilities.
I had to learn how to work with an on-going condition that arose in
mid-life as have many other ARCs. We make accommodations as needed.
Look at the Ontario LiUNA web site and talk to the archaeologists who are
members of Local 3000. They have some firm health and safety laws in
Ontario and might have some statistical information for you.
