National Occupational Safety & Health Week is an annual, continent-wide initiative that raises awareness about preventing workplace injuries and illnesses and promoting health and safety at work, at home, and in our communities.<\/p>\n
At UFV, our goal is to use this week to connect, inform, and engage our campus community in creating and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.<\/p>\n
Safety is a shared responsibility. By recognizing hazards, speaking up about concerns, learning from incidents, and supporting one another, we can help prevent injuries and strengthen our safety culture.<\/p>\n
