m<strong>in</strong>es and documents now available on <strong>the</strong> Internet have been added to <strong>the</strong> "reference" section. S<strong>in</strong>ce this<br />
guide is used daily by many occupational hygiene practitioners <strong>in</strong> Québec, an update became necessary<br />
<strong>for</strong> reasons related to <strong>the</strong> nature of <strong>the</strong> operations of <strong>the</strong> IRSST's Laboratory Division.<br />
