SAFE Work Certified
North Forge’s FabLab is proud to be SAFE Work Certified, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all users. This certification, recognized across industries, reflects our adherence to core safety principles, including leadership commitment, proactive hazard identification, risk control, and active worker participation.
As a SAFE Work Certified facility, our FabLab follows stringent safety standards, ensuring that everyone—from employees to innovators—has a secure space to create, collaborate, and innovate.
VR Safety Learning Experience
With assistance from the Worker’s Compensation Board of Manitoba and SAFE Work Manitoba, a VR Safety Learning Experience was created by Bit Space Development to bring attention to critical areas and the pieces of equipment that are considered high risk within the FabLab.
This remote training method was developed to help members understand and demonstrate Safe Work Procedures; keep current with safety improvements; understand and follow personal protective equipment guidelines; demonstrate usage of specific machine hazards and control methods, and understand the FabLab member responsibilities.
