Globally, work kills more people than wars–and–an Ipsos-Reid survey conducted in last February shows 57% of New Brunswicker’s believe workplace injuries are inevitable. WorkSafe NB’s President and CEO, Doug Stanley, says those numbers are troubling.
Those numbers are, however, down from previous years. An Ipsos-Reid survey conducted in 2005 found that 69% of New Brunswick residents believed getting hurt on the job was inevitable. Stanley, says there is a long way to go to change social attitudes. WorkSafeNB has hired additional health and safety officers to better enforce compliance.
