Know your Rights at Work

“WorkSafe Saskatchewan reminds every worker of their three fundamental rights in the workplace: The right to know what hazards are present, the right to participate in keeping the workplace healthy and safe and the right to refuse dangerous work. These rights are protected under The Saskatchewan Employment Act. When workers speak up and employers listen, everyone benefits. Safety is a shared responsibility—and it starts with knowing your rights. Together, we can make Saskatchewan workplaces safer.”

Indoor Air Pollution

Indoor air pollution in homes can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues. It can occur from many sources such as volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), mold, cleaning products, and pet dander. To mitigate indoor air pollution, prioritize ventilation with open windows and air purifiers, control humidity, use low-VOC products, clean and vacuum regularly, install carbon monoxide detectors, maintain and clean your furnace and replace the filter regularly. According to the EPA, the concentration levels of many volatile organic compounds are up to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors so it is very important to maintain ventilation flow in your home.

Draft-Free Windows, Healthier Living

Energy-Efficient Windows Matter.
Older windows and/or Improper window installation can allow cold air to seep into your home, creating drafts that make your heating system work overtime. Those breezes don’t just raise power consumption—they can also contribute to respiratory issues, worsen allergies, and increase moisture build up that may lead to mold growth. Today’s newer windows come with Energy Ratings which combines several factors, based on climate criteria, and minimized air leakage through the window. Even the most energy efficient windows can perform poorly with improper installation. Protect your comfort, your budget, and your wellbeing with the right windows and professional installation.

We encourage you to see someone close to you with a bit more frequency than you did in 2024.
