Background information on the Seminar:

One of the greatest health concerns facing Canadians today is unintentional injuries and injury related deaths. In fact, unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for Canadians between the ages of 1 and 44. Injuries kill more young people between the ages of 1 and 20 than all other causes of death combined.

Over 2 million Canadians are treated annually at an economic cost of more than $8.7 million dollars. A recent study titled “ The Economic Burden of Unintentional Injuries in Saskatchewan” conducted by the SmartRisk Foundation found that injuries cost Saskatchewanresidents approximately $595 million dollars a year.

What Is the Industrial Safety Seminar?

The Industrial Safety Seminar was started in 1974 by a group of concerned individuals with the aim of giving safety professionals in Saskatchewana forum to discuss areas of common concern and bringing a high quality safety event to the province.
