Each year on April 28 in Canada and over 100 countries, we mark the National Day of Mourning to remember those who have lost their lives or suffered injury or illness on the job or due to a work-related tragedy. It is also a day to collectively renew our commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace and prevent further injuries, illnesses, and deaths. 

At 秀色短视频, the Health, Safety, and Environment department promotes an internal responsibility system that expects all workplace parties to collaborate on identifying, assessing, and managing all workplace hazards and risks. 秀色短视频 Health, Safety, and Environment provides oversight and guidance to ensure compliance with occupational health and safety legislation on PEI.
