The Safety First in Cape Breton Network works to make Unama'ki - Cape Breton the safest place to work and invest!
The Safety First in Cape Breton Awards annually recognize individuals, businesses and committees who support building a strong culture of occupational health and safety in workplaces across Unama’ki – Cape Breton, and who go above and beyond the call of duty to innovate, continuously improve, and make a difference.
Presented annually at the Safety First in Cape Breton Symposium, the Awards are proudly chosen by the Safety First in Cape Breton Network’s Planning Committee, honouring those individuals and businesses who are committed to the advancement of workplace health and safety and promoting the total wellbeing (including physical, psychosocial, and mental health) of our region’s workplaces and workforce.
We are proud to have recognized over 20 recipients with Safety First in Cape Breton Awards since 2017! Select a year below to see photos of our dedicated Safety First Award Recipients!
The Safety First in Cape Breton Network was formed by a passionate group of health and safety leaders in 2012 from the Cape Breton Partnership, the Nova Scotia Department of Labour & Advanced Education (now the Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration), and the Workers’ Compensation Board of Nova Scotia.
Created to help address business needs and improve workplace health and safety culture, the Safety First in Cape Breton Network is an Island-wide initiative that promotes the importance of a strong health and safety culture in workplaces, provides opportunities to network and engage with other safety practitioners, and learning opportunities to help enhance HSE programs across Unama’ki – Cape Breton.
