SAFE Work is important to all Canadians. That's why each year the nation celebrates occupational safety and health for an entire week, bringing special events, awards presentations and a heightened awareness of ways to work more safely with it.

This year, North American Occupational Safety and Health week (NAOSH) is being held May 1-7, and Manitoba is well on its way to full-on festivities.

Over the week, businesses in our province will promote and celebrate efforts that consciously work towards safety at work, safety at home and safety at play - for all Manitobans.
