The approaching legalization of recreational marijuana adds another layer of challenges. This conference brings together a combination of resources to ensure you have the tools to mitigate risk in your business/organization.

The number of potential health and safety risks in any health-care organization is astounding. Not only do you need to worry about slips and trips, musculoskeletal disorders and chemical handling, but biological agents can be found around every corner. And of course there is always the pressure of keeping patients safe, too.
If your health-care organization truly knows only healthy and safe workers can ensure their patients are healthy and safe, we want to hear from you for the Canada’s Safest Employers’ Health Care Safety award.
Click here to nominate your company for the Health Care award as part of Canada’s Safest Employers awards.
