Congratulations to the 2024 Norm the Safety Contest winners!
Faced with the challenge of demonstrating how to be safe at work, Manitoba students once again showcased their talents and delivered some creative ideas as part of the annual Norm the Safety Contest - Make Safety the Norm. Students from Sisler High School and Swan Valley Regional Secondary School were awarded top honours in the video category, while students from Sturgeon Heights Collegiate and École secondaire Neelin High School took home top honours in the post-secondary competition. This year's theme was "hand and finger injuries." Students were asked to submit videos or posters that were creative, engaging and would help raise awareness among young workers.
