The NLCSA is pleased to partner with WorkplaceNL and the Occupational Health and Safety Division of the Department of Digital Government and Service NL on Fall Prevention Awareness Week. Fall Prevention Awareness week will take place from April 17th – 17th, 2023 and our aim is to:
Raise awareness about fall hazards and how they can be eliminated or mitigated.
Promote a positive workplace culture relating to fall prevention.
From 2017-2021, 478 workers in the industry received medical aid or lost time from work and 5 workers lost their lives as a result of a fall. The costs associated with these 483 claims totaled more than $39.2 million.

How to Participate
Participate in one of our fall prevention webinars, check out a podcast, virtual toolbox talk, or conduct your own toolbox talk specific to fall hazards at your workplace. These talks can help identify fall hazards as well as gaps in knowledge or training. Encourage workers to ask questions, raise concerns and be actively involved in fall prevention at the workplace. Ask what more you can do as an employer. Safety is a partnership.
