Here are three simple steps to report unsafe conditions at your work:
Step 1: Raise your concern with your supervisor. The supervisor should acknowledge and try to resolve your safety concern.
Step 2: If you find it difficult to approach your supervisor, or your supervisor was not able to resolve your concern, talk to someone from your workplace safety and health committee or your worker safety and health representative.
Step 3: If your concern was not resolved by the committee/representative, or if you feel your issue is urgent, call 204-957-SAFE (7233) or toll free 1-855-957-SAFE (7233) to report unsafe work to Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health (WSH). WSH will get involved as necessary.

Keeping others safe from harm is something most of us do automatically.
You’d stop someone from walking into traffic, steady them to keep them from tripping or warn them if they were at risk of being injured. Reporting unsafe work should be second-nature, too, because it’s the right thing to do.
By taking steps to report unsafe work, you’re supporting a positive culture of safety and prevention at your workplace. The resources below can help you make workplaces safer, prevent injuries and create and maintain a culture of safety.
