  • Safety speaker and former Sask. Roughrider shares the power of habit on day two of WCB Compensation Institute 18 mai 2022

    Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Dan Comiskey knows what it’s like to lose a loved one while working on the job. In 2001, Comiskey’s brother was electrocuted and killed while working as an electrical lineman because he was wearing the wrong gloves. Comiskey’s family also experienced a workplace tragedy when his father-in-law was hit on the head by a piece of rock while on his first day on the job at a mine in the Northwest Territories. Now a professional safety speaker, Comiskey uses his world of sports and family to spread the message of creating habits to keep all workers safe at work.

  • WCB Nova Scotia: Looking back 30 years, ahead to a safer workplace (May 9/22) 9 mai 2022

    The opinion editorial below from Ava Czapalay, deputy minister, Nova Scotia Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration, and Stuart MacLean, CEO, WCB Nova Scotia, appeared in Saltwire publications today.

    There are some things in life that you notice most for their absence.

    Workplace safety is one of them. When a workplace safety program is not in place, we all know the tragic outcomes that can occur.

    Last week was Safety and Health Week, a time when we highlight the importance of bringing safety talks into the public light as a matter of routine practice.

    The first week of May is set aside to focus on workplace health and safety, and renew our commitment. You’ll see, from the statistics released this year, that while we have made progress, we still have work to do.

    Together, we challenge Nova Scotians to make workplace health a priority — this past week, and always.

    There are two anniversaries that make this year’s health and safety week particularly poignant in Nova Scotia.
