Construction Safety Week, May 4 - 8

Health and Safety in Construction


Construction Safety Week is a time to emphasize vital issues that affect health and safety, and participating in partnerships and initiatives.

At OHCOW we offer access to the FREE Silica Control Tool (SCT). Any time substances such as glass, rock and more are being broken down it causes exposure to silica dust, proven to increase risk for respiratory illness and cancer. The SCT tool is available for construction work and surface mining. There is also a French version.

Experts in Care, Fighting for Change


The 2026 theme highlights the value and expertise that nurses bring as trustworthy voices advocating for high-quality public health care in every sector.

At OHCOW we value the dedication and expertise of our Occupational Health Nurses. Find out more on our web page.
