Saskatchewan Statistics
Health care employees missed 61,790 days of work due to injuries in the workplace during 2011. This translates into 309 full-time vacant positions. What kind of an impact does this have on…
- the injured individual?
- their family?
- their community?
- their colleagues?
- their patients?
In 2010 the G22 industry code had the highest number of work related injuries (5,034) compared to all others. Of these 1.275 were back injuries. Why weren’t these injuries prevented in the first place?

Leaders Stand-Up and Be Counted 
Commit now to signing the Health & Safety Leadership Charter
Next official signing: June 14, 2012
The purpose of the Saskatchewwan Health & Safety Leadership Charter is to affect a cultural shift in the way that Saskatchewan leaders view injuries and injury prevention. The Charter advocates for the continous improvment of healthy and safe workplaces and communities.
To date over 264 leaders have become signatories from a variety of industries. They have made the committment to increase the profile of health, safety and injury prevention within their organizations. As a signatory there are serious expectations placed on them. They must uphold and communicate the principles of the Charter within their organization. Publicly signing the charter showcases the committment of these leaders and provides an opportunity for them to connect with others who share the same vision of achieving Mission: Zero.
Safe Saskatchewan Charter organizers will provide support to these signatories with the intent that their efforts translate into the elimination of injuries within their organizations. SASWH is proud to publish the names below of the organizations within the health care sector who have already signed the Charter as well as those who have committed to doing so at the next public signing.
