Safety and Health Week is celebrated annually in North America during the first week of May highlighting the importance of preventing workplace incidents, injuries, and illness.
The WSCC’s focus for Safety and Health Week 2025 is on strengthening safety planning for your workplace, and we’re celebrating by launching our NEW Workplace Safety Planning Guide – a practical resource for northern employers.
Throughout the month of May, WSCC Safety Officers are available to visit your worksite and conduct an inspection that focuses on your safety program. This inspection is an opportunity for the employer or supervisor to discuss safety program basics with occupational health and safety experts, and receive constructive feedback on how it can be improved. After the inspection, employers will receive an Inspection Report that identifies what their safety program is doing well, and directions that identify gaps or areas for improvement.
Employers will then receive a copy of our Workplace Safety Planning Guide to help you get where you need to be!
Want to request a visit? Reach out to SafetySpotlight@wscc.nt.ca or SafetySpotlight@wscc.nu.ca today! If Safety Officers can’t make it to your workplace in May, we are happy to schedule an inspection for the next time they visit your community.
