It is also a day to renew the commitment to improve health and safety in the workplace in order to prevent future tragedies. 

At Liberty Staffing Services, we take health and safety very seriously. [Employee safety](https://www.libertystaffing.ca/blog/know-your-rights-workplace-safety-tips-for-employees) is our number one priority. Before we partner with any company, we ensure that the facility and working area is safe and abides by Ontario Ministry of Labour laws. We continue to do site safety inspection checks as we staff workers to the company.

It is our responsibility, as well as the clients' and our employees' responsibility, to always follow health and safety regulations. Health and safety is everyone's responsibility. 

Safe workplaces saves lives. Everyone has the right to return home from work unharmed. Employees have the right to refuse unsafe work.
