Prevention

Together, we will prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, death and disability.

A PROVINCE WITHOUT WORKPLACE INJURY AND DISABILITY

Traditionally, when we think about prevention, we think of injuries and illnesses. WorkSafeNB, however, is changing this mindset. We also define it as helping injured workers recover at work when possible, keeping them involved and productive to help prevent disability.

“The key to prevention is anticipation. The challenge – and what we strive for – is to collaborate with workplaces to identify factors, or exposures, that lead to occupational illness or injury BEFORE harm occurs.”

– Johannes Doemer
Occupational Hygienist
