Is your workplace safe? Is our infrastructure resilient?
CSA is helping to reduce death and injury on the job…and to prepare buildings and systems for adverse events.

Workplace fatalities and injuries have risen in the past decade. In 2006, CSA released Canada's first consensus-based occupational health and safety (OHS) management standard CSA Z1000 to help organizations prevent or reduce the number of injuries, illnesses and fatalities in the workplace.

Extreme weather events have a significant impact on urban and rural areas across Canada, and engineers are essential in developing resilient, sustainable infrastructure. CSA has launched a project to examine the effects of climate change events on buildings and on energy, water and transportation systems - and to identify areas in engineering education that can be updated to address the impact of climate change.
