There were 48 workplace deaths in Saskatchewan in 2018, a 78 per cent increase from 2017, according to a release issued by Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board on Thursday.
“This is devastating for our province. Behind every statistic is a loved one who will never come home to their family,” WCB CEO Peter Federko said. “The impact of losing someone dear to us is devastating.
“We’ve embarked on several research projects with the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan to understand more about our workplace fatalities.”
