Manitoba Immigrants Safety Initiative

Every Manitoban deserves to work safely.

The Manitoba Immigrants’ Safety Initiative (MISI) is a pilot project coordinated by Safety Services Manitoba and the ImmigrantCentre Manitoba (formerly the International Centre of Winnipeg). The initiative is funded through the WCB Community Initiatives and Research Program with an aim to prevent injury, death and workplace-related illness for new and existing immigrant workers in Manitoba.

Projections indicate that in the next few decades, Canada’s labour force will be increasingly dependent upon immigration to support its economy. Keeping immigrant workers safe and healthy at work will benefit workers, employers and all community stakeholders. 

These resources were designed to help all Manitobans - new and existing - overcome language, cultural and informational barriers on their way to develop safe work practices and procedures. 

Manuals are available in English, while other tool kits are available in a number of languages. You can download them all below.
