CUPE has also declared 2026 its Year of Health and Safety. Throughout the year, we are placing a special focus on strengthening our health and safety committees. Strong committees save lives. They identify hazards, prevent injuries and help ensure every worker returns home safe. We encourage locals to support their committees, empower worker participation and take action to improve health and safety in every workplace.
You can help advance this work in your local by accessing CUPE’s health and safety resources.
