Iqaluit, NU (April 29, 2022) – The Workers’ Safety & Compensation Commission (WSCC) is pleased to mark Safety and Health Week 2022 by highlighting workplace safety for new and young workers.

Safety & Health Week is an event celebrated from May 1-7 across North America that highlights the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace and communities. 

Detailed recordkeeping is essential for all training programs. Good records make tracking a worker’s training simple and efficient, and will help prompt supervisors when refreshers or annual training are needed. Training records are reviewed during inspections to ensure your organization is in compliance, so it is important to have thorough and accessible records.
