Safety and Health Week – 2025

Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), EMCO and the Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) are pleased to host Safety and Health Awareness Week from May 5 to 9, 2025 with some earlier events happening in the weeks before!

Safety and Health Week is celebrated along with Emergency Preparedness week. The initiatives during this week present an excellent opportunity to strengthen our commitment to occupational safety through increased awareness, information sharing, training, and of course…some fun!

We look forward to seeing you broaden your knowledge, and have fun in the process!
