North American Occupational Safety and Health Week is an annual event where employers & workers,collaborate to promote injury prevention in the workplace.
The #WinnipegSign was lit last night to kick off North American Occupational Safety & Health Week. It's important that we foster discussions about workplace safety and strive towards healthy working conditions for all. #NAOSH#NAOSHWeek2019@SAFEWorkMb#healthandsafetyweek
As part of #NAOSHweek2019, many MB employers develop safety activities in their workplace to build prevention awareness with their employees & the public. NAOSH events are meant to revitalize workplace commitment to safety in a fun way. For ideas, visit https://t.co/yQ3mvQhiXO!
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the #NAOSHWeek2019 launch this morning! This week, we will all focus on the importance of preventing injury & illness in the workplace and raise understanding and awareness of safety and health issues. What are YOU doing for NAOSH week?
On mental health: if we don’t talk about it, we don’t know what to do about it, says Rebecca of @SJA_Manitoba. Rebecca led a mental health quiz for the group and the answers were enlightening. #NAOSHWeek2019
OHC is at the kick-off to #NAOSHWeek2019. Great to hear from @SAFEWorkMb's Jamie Hall about the six dimensions of a thriving safety culture. Learn more here: https://t.co/eXdcxWK5vE
MB @Min_Pedersen speaking at the Winnipeg @NAOSHWeek launch: “as a province we must continue to invest in a strong culture of safety”. @madesafemb & @CMEManitoba believe passionately in this cause and are here to help all manufacturers succeed.

“I think this year’s theme is a fitting one, because without people who are passionate about prevention, we couldn’t do this work.” - Jodi Pluchinski of @RRC
Just like the new @NAOSHMB slogan, people, passion and prevention are at the heart of our work, says @SAFEWorkJamie. #NAOSHWeek2019 is off to a great start so far!
@SAFEWorkJamie, CEO @SAFEWorkMb on safety: people are the forefront of how we think, act & work each day. Positive safety culture ensures strategies are successful & sustainable. But it doesn’t happen overnight.
@madesafemb can help with 30+ courses designed for the mfg workplace
Harvey Wasiuta of Employment and Social Development Canada addresses the crowd. “This week, we get to speak more directly about safety in the workplace,” but Harvey says NAOSH week is every week for ESDC; they’re always thinking about how to keep people safe at work in Manitoba.
As a safety and business community, we have to embrace the prevention resources available, says Christian Tardi, one of the MCs at today’s #NAOSHWeek2019 launch event. He added, until we make our people a priority, our businesses will never reach their full potential.
