As winter seems to be taking a firm grip on Nova Scotia, here is your reminder to prepare a car emergency kit for yourself and your family.
A car emergency kit should contain the following:
Water
Non-perishable food
A warm blanket
Extra clothing and shoes – including hats and gloves or mitts
Road maps – cell phones do not always operate properly in extreme cold, so it is best not to plan to rely on them when you need directions
Shovel and ice scraper
Extra windshield fluid
Kitty litter or sand
A first aid kit
Flashlight – if battery operated don’t forget to include extra batteries
Jumper cable or battery pack
Road flares
Work gloves
De-icer
If you are not wearing your winter boots in the car, bring them along with you in case they are needed.

Slips, trips and falls can happen so fast.

Our Story

Functions of the Safety Association The safety association focuses its efforts on prevention education, advocacy, communication and awareness. This is achieved by the conducting the following functions: Prevention Education - Implementation of an accident prevention strategy for the fishing industry. Educate the industry on accident investigation, preventing workplace injuries, ergonomics, etc. - Undertake concrete activities that are of direct interest to industry and that have the potential to have a positive effect on rates. This can be achieved by developing educational tools. Research and Advocacy - The association has the capacity to undertake research on causes of escalating rates. Research could also be done on the economic impacts that could result from the continuation of escalating costs that could make the fishing industry in the province less competitive. - Continue the dialogue with Workers’ Compensation Board and Government in their efforts to implement improved medical services in a timely fashion – ie: Doctor’s Nova Scotia and the Physiotherapy contract. - Work with all stakeholders that have a keen interest in improving workplace safety. Communication and Awareness - Show industry wide leadership on the issue of safety. - Increase awareness of safety and celebrate success. - Promote a safety culture in the industry. - Communicate with industry on causes, and various specific activities that can address these.
