PARTNERS
There are a total of 14 partners in this campaign which make up a group known as the Construction Safety Coalition: Construction Safety Nova Scotia (CSNS), the Occupational Health & Safety Division of the Government of Nova Scotia, Construction Association of Nova Scotia, Canadian Home Builders Association – Nova Scotia, Merit NS, Nova Scotia Road Builders, Roofing Contractors Association of Nova Scotia, Mainland Nova Scotia Building and Construction Trades Council, Cape Breton Island Building and Construction Trades Council, Nova Scotia Construction Labour Relations Association, Atlantic Concrete Association, Nova Scotia Construction Sector Council, Atlantic Home Building and Renovation Sector Council, and WCB Nova Scotia.
The Construction Safety Coalition was borne out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the desire among industry to come together and have a united approach during this challenging time. Of note, the coalition involves members from labour organizations, non-labour organizations, and government who have all been meeting once a month since 2020 to discuss pertinent safety issues affecting the construction industry and reaching consensus on these topics.
