As Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Week ends, WASCO reflects on a meaningful series of activities that highlighted the importance of safety awareness and preparedness across the organization. The week featured engaging events such as a Safety Hunt at offices and treatment plants, Bomb Scare Training, Health Walk and Fitness Session, all aimed at strengthening workplace readiness and encouraging team participation.
The final activity on the OHS Week calendar is a public health fair set for Monday April 28, under the theme “Embracing Health and Wellness.” Taking place at both the Head Office in L’Anse Road, Castries, and the Vieux Fort Office from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the fair will offer a variety of services including blood pressure testing, BMI assessments, rapid HIV screening, ear, eye, and dental exams, and general health education.
Open to all, the fair provides an opportunity for staff and members of the public to access essential health services and information. WASCO remains dedicated to fostering a culture of safety and well-being that supports its team and the people it serves.
World Day for Safety and Health at Work serves as a global reminder of the importance of creating work environments that protect and prioritize employee well-being. For WASCO, this observance reinforces the importance of cultivating a strong internal safety culture. It also provides a platform to align with international standards, reflect on organizational practices and empower employees through meaningful engagement and awareness-building activities.
