Lifelong Learning @ UNB
UNB Centre for Learning Futures

As we close out 2025, one truth remains clear: workplace safety must stay at the forefront of every organization's priorities.

While many workplaces have made progress by reducing minor injuries and recordable incidents, Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) continue to persist. These high-impact events have devastating and long-lasting consequences for workers, families, and entire organizations.

To help safety leaders address this challenge head-on, safety expert Darrel Nickerson will host the final Let's Talk Safety webinar of the year: Serious Injuries and Fatalities - A practical approach to a complex problem. This session provides the latest research, actionable strategies, and real-world tools to help you identify and eliminate SIF risks in your workplace.
