Threads of Life

The IOSH Alberta Association is pleased to partner with Threads of Life. Threads of Life helps families of workplace tragedy along their journey of healing by providing unique family support programs and services. Threads of Life is supported by a network of volunteers from across the country who have been personally impacted by a workplace tragedy.

Threads of Life Assists Families by:

• Providing one-on-one peer support.

• Links to professional support services.

• A support network to those who have experienced similar pain and suffering.

• Advisory support regarding the workplace investigation and inquest process.

• Opportunities to promote workplace injury prevention and awareness within their own community by joining the Speakers Bureau.

• Raising funds though the annual Steps for Life Walk on the first Sunday in May.

Threads of Life network of family members and corporate partners believe traumatic workplace injuries, occupational diseases and deaths are preventable. Through community action such as the Steps for Life walks, and participation in the Speakers Bureau, we can all effect a change in attitudes and behaviours where injuries are no longer considered to be “just the cost of doing business."
