WRHA Corporate & Community Achieves SAFE Work Certification

MASH is proud to announce that the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) Corporate & Community division has officially achieved SAFE Work Certification. This recognition marks an important milestone in WRHA’s ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe, healthy, and supportive workplace for all staff members. The certification, awarded following a comprehensive external audit, demonstrates that WRHA Corporate & Community has implemented safety and health management systems to support leadership engagement, employee training, hazard and violence prevention, and continuous improvement.

This accomplishment reflects years of dedicated effort to build and sustain a culture of safety, one that prioritizes both physical and psychological wellbeing. By investing in safety initiatives and fostering open communication, WRHA Corporate & Community continues to show that the wellbeing of its staff is essential to the delivery of safe, high-quality care across Manitoba’s healthcare system.

Jane Curtis, Interim President and CEO, and the WRHA Board of Directors shared their pride in this achievement, stating: “At the WRHA, the safety and wellbeing of our staff come first. Every member of our team deserves to work in an environment where they feel respected, valued and secure, physically, emotionally and professionally. We are proud to have received our Safe Work Certification, and we are committed to continuing this important work to ensure we are a place where everyone can do their best work with confidence and peace of mind.”

MASH congratulates WRHA Corporate & Community on this outstanding achievement. Their leadership and staff have demonstrated that investing in safety not only protects workers but also strengthens the entire organization, supporting better outcomes for patients, clients, families, and communities. We look forward to continuing our partnership with WRHA as they maintain their certification and continue to enhance their culture of safety and wellbeing.

WRHA Corporate & Community now joins a growing number of healthcare organizations across Manitoba that are leading the way in creating safer, healthier workplaces through SAFE Work Certification. This recognition reinforces that safety is not just a standard to be met—it is a shared value embedded in every level of the organization.
