Safety & Health Week 2026

Safety and Health Week, takes place  May 4-9, 2026. This is an ideal time for employers, employees, partners, and the public to focus on the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace, at home, and in the community.

Starting on May 4, you're invited to join our virtual activities to celebrate Safety and Health Week. Sign up for free, live, online sessions kicking off with the National Launch.

The week will continue with thought provoking sessions on plain language and the connection between safe work practices, Indigenous inclusion, diversity, and equity. Let's come together to learn how we can create safe, thriving workplaces and communities.

At Memorial, we are committed to ensuring the health and safety of everyone on our campuses. The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) team provides guidance and technical expertise to support that commitment. EHS has a comprehensive portfolio with a mandate for all campuses with the objective of ensuring and facilitating a safe environment for all faculty, employees, students, visitors and contractors who engage in activities across our community and frequent Memorial’s spaces.
