It’s an opportunity to reinforce and strengthen our commitment to reducing the impact of injury and illness in our workplaces, our homes and our communities. NAOSH Week inspires us toward excellence in our health and safety goals.” Dennis Witcher, Chair, Nova Scotia Chapter

It highlights the importance of all of us making the commitment and then doing the things every day that are required to make workplaces as safe and healthy as we would like them to be. “Let’s Make Safety a Habit for Life.” , Stewart Franck, Chair, Western Nova Scotia Chapter
