Leaderhip Matters 2015:
A Workplace Safety CEO Summit
Leading through safety.
Join us Monday, November 9th from 7:30am to 11:30am for a panel discussion with 15 of Nova Scotia’s most senior leaders, facilitated by Danny Graham of Engage Nova Scotia. Together, they will amplify the issue of workplace safety and discuss ways to support our province’s emerging workplace safety leaders.
The morning will be hosted by the Hon. Kelly Regan, Minister of Labour and Advanced Education, and Stuart MacLean, CEO of WCB Nova Scotia. Ray Ivany, author of Now or Never and Chair of the One Nova Scotia Coalition, will deliver the keynote address.
The Now or Never report was referred to as a “call to action” and a “catalyst to change” for Nova Scotia. In order for that action and change to take place, workplace safety needs to be accepted and embraced as a business priority.

In an effort to raise awareness and offer information about the importance of workplace safety, the Occupational Health and Safety Branch will be hosting a live Twitter chat on Wednesday, May 27th at 12:30 pm.
Scott Nauss, Senior Director, Occupational Health and Safety will respond to questions on Twitter to provide on-the-spot information to workers, employers, parents and others who have questions about safety in the workplace, including rules and regulations.
The main objective of the live Twitter chat is to ensure workers, especially young workers starting their first job or a summer work experience, are aware of the rules around workplace safety (specifically around fall protection), and to let them know about the supports available. We also want to connect with employers to promote workplace safety and let them know about the resources available to them through the OHS division.
Get answers to your workplace safety questions: Twitter chat w/ NS OHS director Scott Nauss. May 27 at 12:30 pm. Join in using #talksafety. Our twitter handle is @NSLAE
