The significance of safe learning environments for budding welders cannot be overstated. By providing brand-new Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits and conducting on-site safety reviews, the CWB Foundation ensures that students learn in environments that prioritize their well-being and growth. Our comprehensive school safety reviews have revealed the crucial need for ongoing support and resources to maintain a secure classroom learning atmosphere.
Our Impact in The Last Decade
- 10,000+ hours in safety-related training delivered to educators through Educator Training programs to ensure best practices are taught in the classroom.
- 47 safety reviews of secondary school welding classrooms completed in 2022-2023 to guarantee students are in safe and supportive environments.
- 111 secondary schools received 1,400 upgraded PPE kit sets in 2022-2023, providing over 12,240 Canadian students with access to properly fitting PPE through the CWB WeldSAFE program.
