SAFETY AND HEALTH WEEK

May 5-10, 2025

Safety and Health Week takes place May 5-10 to highlight the importance of preventing injuries and illnesses in the workplace and beyond.

Our advisors are on the ground across the province, visiting members, attending safety days and delivering safety demonstrations. Reach out to our team if you have questions, need assistance or want to book a safety demo for your site. Every week is safety and health week for us!

It's also Mental Health Week May 5-11. Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgment and discrimination. But the heavier the stigma, the heavier the mask. #UnmaskingMentalHealth takes courage and understanding - look beyond the surface, see the whole person and make connections.
