Canadian airports launch first Canadian Airports Safety Week

The Sudbury Airport, along with 23 other airports across Canada, kick off Canadian Airports Safety Week, a new airport-led initiative to promote healthy and safe work practices among airport employees.

The first program of its kind for the Canadian aviation industry, Canadian Airports Safety Week aims to reach thousands of airport employees across the country with various safety talks, themed messaging and events, which were developed in collaboration with participating airports.

The Greater Sudbury Airport will be undertaking a FOD (foreign object and debris) walk and delivering daily safety messages within the airport community.

Canadian Airports Safety Week is an airport-led initiative to promote healthy and safe work practices among airport employees. Currently in its first year, there are 24 airports across Canada participating in the initiative.
