All 'accidents' are Predictable and Preventable

Disturbing FACTS... Did you know?

• INJURY is the 4th leading cause of death in Canada.


• 1 in 7 young workers is injured on the job in Canada.


• An average of 42 young workers are injured or killed on the job every day in Ontario.


• 56 per cent of young workers in Canada are not given the proper safety training before taking on new tasks.


• The majority of incidents among young workers in Sarnia-Lambton occur in the services sector, and in manufacturing and construction.  (The services sector includes restaurant and food services, vehicle sales and services, office and related services retail, wholesale, tourism and hospitality.)

It only takes a second for a life-altering event to happen.

Risky behaviour is NOT o.k. to get the job done.

Being safe is never the wrong thing to do.

Injuries change lives.

Work SAFE...Work SMART

Reducing incidents and injuries is everyone's responsibility

70% of total injuries occur outside the workplace.
Most communities have NO STRATEGY to address where most injuries occur
- IN OUR OWN NEIGHBOURHOODS!

“There is no power for change greater 
    than a community discovering what it cares about”
    - Margaret Wheatley   

“The antidote to injury is attitude:  an injection of awareness, caring and learning into the  minds and hearts of everyone around us." -  Paul  Kells, Founder of Safe Communities Canada
