Employers, supervisors, and employees all have an important role in workplace safety. Fix it if you can, report it if you can’t, and always make sure safety is the top priority. Watch our Internal Responsibility System (IRS) video to learn more: bit.ly/3MQNPTd

Yesterday, Aug 1, three Cooke #Aquaculture employees rescued two capsized ocean kayakers in #Digby, #NovaScotia, Canada. We're so proud of Morgan Graham, Jayden Lent and Johnny Amero for acting quickly to save the distressed paddlers.

With 25,000km+ of coastline, we can’t always be everywhere on the water, but having trained responders who live and work in communities on the coast is one way we work to keep mariners safe and protect the marine environment.
