MySafeWork hosts live-streaming event for Day of Mourning

NATIONAL – National Day of Mourning, an annual event devoted to those who have lost their lives on the job, returns on April 28, and nonprofit organization MySafeWork is live-streaming Courageous, a one-hour presentation that encourages students to speak out about unsafe work practices. The presentation will include a personal message from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on workplace safety, according to a press release from the Toronto-based organization. Courageous will also include a roundtable discussion with inspirational stories and practical advice, as well as an interactive Q&A session; MySafeWork encourages oh&s professionals to offer tips on Twitter via the hashtag #IAmCourageous2017. “Workplace safety… [is] an issue that can change your life in an instant,” MySafeWork founder and president Rob Ellis said in a media statement. “We want a new generation of workers to stand up and say: ‘Enough is enough – even one workplace injury is too many.’” Bryan Baeumler, star of HGTV’s Leave It to Bryan, will host the presentation in front of a live studio audience in Toronto. Viewers can catch Courageous live at MySafeWork.com starting at 9 a.m. EST on April 28, and a recording of the show will be available on MySafeWork’s YouTube channel afterwards.
