No one goes to work expecting not to make it home. Yet every year, workers across Canada lose their lives, their health, or their livelihoods due to unsafe working conditions. In 2024, this was the reality for 1,042 working Canadians (@awcbc_acatc). 🎗️ Today we pause to remember them. This is the #NationalDayOfMourning — a day to #honour workers who have been killed, injured, or made ill because of their work, and the families and communities forever changed as a result. At WSPS, this day is deeply meaningful. It reminds us why our work matters. Every number has a name, and every statistic represents a person with loved ones left behind. That understanding drives our #commitment to #prevention. Join us as we #remember, and commit to preventing future tragedies. ▪️Deepen your OHS knowledge ▪️Wear your PPE ▪️Report hazards ▪️Raise awareness ▪️Encourage others to do the same #DayOfMourning #WorkplaceSafety #InjuryPrevention #HealthAndSafety
