Recent news has reported that the people of Saskatchewan have been badly hit by an epidemic. So far, 435 people have been stated to suffer injuries both inside and outside the workplace. It has been estimated that out of the total, approximately 26 will be admitted to the hospitals, 10 will be disabled for life and one will not sustain the life.
Gord Moker, CEO of Safe Saskatchewan, worries about the growing number of injuries. Moker said, "When they enter the workforce, they are going to put on their safety hat and they are going to follow all the regulations but at five, they go home and they forget everything that they practiced at the workplace -- they do not even talk about safety at home with their family".
Citizens of Saskatchewan have changed their attitude towards the concept of safety, and now have become more conscious about it, but the authorities desire more progress, which is lacking. The streets have people handling driving along with cellphones and the authorities stress on the attitude to be revived.
Mike Carr, Deputy Minister for the Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Ministry has confirmed that Saskatchewan has been given the title of second worst injury-prone jurisdiction in the State. This poses concern among the authorities.
