Psychological health and safety in high risk occupations

 

At WorkSafeNB, we’re committed to making New Brunswick the safest place to work. A key part of that vision is ensuring every workplace prioritizes psychological health and safety—especially in industries where unique work environment factors increase risks to mental well-being.

Recognizing these challenges is the first step toward meaningful change. By fostering psychologically safe workplaces, we can better support workers in high-risk occupations and create a stronger, healthier New Brunswick.
