In January of 2017, WCB Nova Scotia was pleased to be part of a working group that made important recommendations for Improving Workplace Safety in Nova Scotia's Community Emergency Departments.

This week, the Nova Scotia Health Authority released its first progress report on the implementation of those recommendations.

The progress report demonstrates important change. It speaks to the ongoing important conversation about health care workplace safety. It shows how real progress can be made when all stakeholders work together, driven by the perspective of protecting the health and safety of those who care for Nova Scotians when they need it most.
