SAFE Work is everyone's responsibility, which is why the SAFE Work awareness campaign is vital to making Manitoba 's workplaces safer. Television, radio and print advertisements have been spreading the SAFE message, consisting of four simple steps to avoiding injury: SPOT the Hazard; ASSESS the Risk; FIND a Safer Way; EVERYDAY.
By encouraging people to think about safety before they act, SAFE Work is also changing attitudes toward safety - at work AND at home.
Is it working? Research done by an independent third party company indicates that, on average, more than eight out of ten Manitobans know the SAFE message …and that seven out of ten Manitobans are less likely to take risks because of that message. See what's been bringing safety to the forefront (Television, Radio, Print):
