Advocating for the rights and quality of life of Indigenous people in Canada.
A Historic Partnership
In September 2025, the Indigenous Centre for Occupational Health & Public Safety and the Assembly of First Nations entered into a historic agreement to advance workplace health and safety across First Nations communities in Canada.
Shared Commitment to Safe Work
This partnership is grounded in a shared belief that all people deserve healthy and safe working environments. Together, ICOHPS and CCOHS are working to advance workplace safety in ways that respect Indigenous experiences, priorities, and community realities.
Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing
The agreement supports collaboration on safety programs, tools, and initiatives, including the development of culturally relevant resources, engagement with government and industry partners, and national dialogue focused on Indigenous occupational health and safety.
Building Practical, Culturally Grounded Solutions
By combining expertise and resources, this partnership aims to create practical solutions that help prevent workplace injuries and illnesses while supporting the well-being of Indigenous workers and communities.
