CIAC announced it has been recognized as Great Place to Work Canada Certified by the Great Place to Work Institute for 2022. This is the first time that CIAC has received this honour.
“At CIAC, we believe the key to a successful and productive workforce is taking a proactive approach to ensure our employees valued as whole people. Our industry’s Responsible Care ethic of doing the right thing and to be seen to do the right thing, encompasses doing the right thing to support our employees and that became especially important during the pandemic,” said Bob Masterson, President and CEO of CIAC.
“We aim to ensure everyone leaves their workday feeling at least as good, if not better than when they started their day and that includes feeling safe, respected and heard in their work lives.”
This certification is based on direct feedback from employees, provided as part of an extensive and anonymous survey about their workplace experience. Great Place to Work Certification uses 30 years of research to quantify the current state of an organization’s workplace culture and show how it compares to the best organizations.

Paul N. Gardner USA, global distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, has introduced a new offering: The compact, portable Sling Psychrometer.
As an easy way to measure relative humidity levels quickly, this uniquely compact Bacharach Sling Psychrometer accurately determines per cent relative humidity without the necessity of consulting complex tables. There is no need to wet the wick each time a reading is taken, and it contains a slide rule calculator which correlates wet and dry bulb thermometer indications for direct reading of relative humidity. When not in use, the thermometer case telescopes into the handle for protection.
The Sling Psychrometer consists of two thermometers that are turned by vigorously swinging the handle and exposing the thermometers to rapid air movement. These two thermometers are called dry bulb and wet bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is placed in direct contact with the room air to measure dry-bulb air temperature. The bulb of the other thermometer is covered with a silk or muslin sleeve that is kept moist to record the wet bulb temperature. Evaporation cools the wet bulb more than the dry bulb, and the humidity is obtained as a function of change in temperature. The atmospheric humidity is determined by calculations, steam tables, or using a psychrometric chart. Gardco.com
