New Brunswick Aims to Reduce
The goal of this initiative is to reduce costs related to sick time and time away from work that is exacerbated by mental illness and mental health issues and also to reduce stigma as it relates to mental health in the workplace.
Encourage and Reach Employees
We aim to encourage employees to seek support as required and also to proactively reach employees before psychological health and safety issues become systemic.
New Brunswick Only
This training is available only to workers who are both employed by New Brunswick employers and who live and work in New Brunswick. Eligible parties are able to register below.
Why Invest in OHS?
Safety is now recognized as an essential component of an organization’s overall health. Employers need safety advisors who can provide credible advice on central questions like safety program design, operational risk assessment, incident investigation and analysis, environmental management, and more. Without formal academic and professional credentials, safety professionals may now find themselves to be at a distinct disadvantage. Modern safety practitioners who continuously pursue knowledge through OHS education have a healthier understanding of larger questions around corporate culture, relationship-based leadership, the significance of leadership in an OHS role, and stakeholder engagement than in the past.
