What does emergency preparedness and safety look like with a distributed workforce? This year’s Emergency Preparedness and Safety Week from Oct. 17 – 21 will look at ways we can navigate this new work environment.
Take part in in-person and virtual sessions to learn more about emergency preparedness and safety at NAIT. Some sessions will be held multiple times throughout the week, so if you can’t make one session, there may be another that works better for your schedule.
Virtual sessions this year will be held in Microsoft Teams. View the information below for session details.
