As of late, the threat of tornadoes is not uncommon. Watch for signs and #getprepared.

Warning signs of a tornado include: • Severe thunderstorms • Extremely dark sky with green or yellow clouds • Rumbling or whistling sounds Learn more: getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/hzd/trnds-…

My heart is heavy scanning the news and seeing so many worker deaths - firefighters battling wildfires - and serious injuries. Each one affects their family, circle of loved ones and friends, and community. Pain runs deep. We have work to do. #WorkplaceSafety #prevention


We have to make space for everyone to live their authentic truth and be who they are. As an ally I continue to learn from non-binary folks who often face unique obstacles in their daily lives because they are non-binary.

Discrimination, violence, and harassment are breeding grounds for inequalities. We call on countries to #RatifyC190 to protect everyone in the world of work and create an environment where respect and dignity thrive!

On #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay it's important to celebrate the diversity of Indigenous cultures, recognize our resilience, and learn about our history. We encourage everyone to show support, amplify Indigenous voices, and honour Indigenous cultures, traditions, & contributions!

Was completely gutted by Virginia Campeau's story of pain, anguish, and trauma from the loss of her husband to a horrific workplace tragedy. The impacts of these events are far reaching and inspire us to commit to preventing any more... @threadsoflifeca #SafetyandHealthWeek


It's fitting that Mental Health Week falls during Safety and Health Week - both the mental and physical health impact the total well-being of workers. #SafetyandHealthWeek #MentalHealthWeek

Mental Health Week helps promote behaviours & attitudes that foster well-being, support good #MentalHealth & create a culture of understanding & acceptance. @CMHA_NTL's 2023 theme is #MyStory. Learn how you can participate by visiting the CMHA website 👇 cmha.ca/mental-health-…



The program is almost finalized - our most diverse yet! Packed with 10+ speakers sessions over 2 days - and icing on the cake - Halifax in September!

97% of 2019 delegates said they would attend again. From the future of work to the power of kindness, get inspired to create positive changes in your workplace. Speaker lineup: ow.ly/s0rJ50NxxA9 #CCOHSForum

We all have a role to play in stopping the spread of harmful misinformation online, which can result in people being left uninformed, unprotected & vulnerable. Before you share content online, pause to verify facts by asking basic questions. shareverified.com/pledge-to-paus…

I, like so many, share responsibilities supporting and caring for a loved one. Having a caring, supportive workplace that is flexible has provided me with peace of mind and enabled me to balance all of the demands. I wish this for everyone. #caregiving #healthyworkplace

The number of workers in Canada who are also caregivers is on the rise. How workplaces can provide support: ow.ly/WzCi50LOVF0 #CCOHSPodcast #CarersCanada #caregiving #healthyworkplaces

I feel passionate about using clear, plain language. Guidance and information that needs to be decoded is not helpful and creates unnecessary barriers. Let's #SpellItOut please.

Keeping acronyms and jargon to a minimum can contribute to a safer, more inclusive workplace. Here’s how: ow.ly/T12K50Lkpom #SpellItOut #HealthyWorkplace #MentalHealth #NewWorkers #PlainLanguage
