Reducing workplace
injuries and illness and building a strong safety culture are two important
objectives of SAFE Work Manitoba.
A strong safety
culture in Manitoba will help ensure a strong and sustained emphasis on safety
and health for generations to come. We believe that making safety a
core component of an organization's and of society's culture will
help prevent injuries for a lifetime.

Background Information
SAFE Work Manitoba worked with the Institute for Work and Health (IWH) and Manitoba safety and health stakeholders to define and describe safety culture for Manitoba.
A report created by the IWH provides information on the background, research and process considered in developing the definition of "safety culture," as well as the definition’s alignment with SAFE Work Manitoba programs, including SAFE Work Certified, industry-based safety programs, prevention incentive, education and social marketing programs.
