During Safety and Health Week - taking place from May 5-10 this year - we're asking you to rethink what safety means in your workplace. Whether you are a safety leader, supervisor or team member, you can help - because workplace safety is everyone's responsibility.
As a leader, you have the power and the responsibility to create workplaces where people feel safe, supported, and ready to thrive. As we approach Safety and Health Week, take steps now to keep your teams and co-workers safe on the job:
-
Rethink what hurt looks like: Not all workplace injuries are visible. A safe workplace means protection from both physical and psychological injuries.
-
Rethink what safety protects: Workplace safety helps maintain a strong Nova Scotia workforce. Protecting each other on the job keeps our province moving forward.
-
Rethink when injury prevention ends: Safe, meaningful work during recovery helps workers get better faster. It also means better outcomes for workers, the workplace, and all of Nova Scotia.
