Saskatchewan Safety Survey

Saskatchewan Safety Survey Since 2012, WorkSafe Saskatchewan has partnered with the Centre for Management Development (CMD) at the University of Regina to offer Saskatchewan businesses a free safety report. To date over 150 private and public sector organizations have received a confidential safety culture report and, if requested, information on employee turnover and employee engagement. These reports provide organizations with insight into their safety performance relative to their peers in the province. Organizations interested in receiving a benchmarking report should contact Sean Tucker at sean.tucker@uregina.ca or 306.337.3244. To ensure that the Saskatchewan Health and Safety Leadership Charter is meeting the needs of participating organizations and is serving its intended purpose, an evaluation of the program was undertaken by the CMD. The project also examined the impact of organizational leadership on safety. A copy of the project's full report can be found below. SK Leadership Charter Project Final Report
