New publication fills critical gap in Canadian occupational health and safety coverage
KINGSVILLE, ON — North Wall Media today announced the launch of Safety News Canada, a national digital publication dedicated to occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals across the country. The launch marks a milestone for the company, which now operates three specialized workplace media brands covering the full spectrum of Canadian employment.
Safety News Canada joins HR News Canada and HR Law Canada under the North Wall Media umbrella, completing what publisher and editor-in-chief Todd Humber describes as a long-planned vision for a comprehensive suite of workplace publications.
“This has always been the plan,” said Humber. “HR News Canada gave us the people side of the workplace. HR Law Canada gave us the legal side. But there was a third leg of the stool that was always missing, and that was occupational health and safety. Safety News Canada completes the picture.”
The new publication will serve OHS professionals, health and safety officers, workplace safety committees, and the consultants and legal professionals who advise them. Coverage will span regulatory updates, tribunal and court decisions, best practices, emerging research, and the people and organizations shaping Canada’s safety landscape.
“When I look at the Canadian workplace, I see three distinct but deeply interconnected worlds — human resources, employment law, and occupational health and safety,” said Humber. “The professionals working in those worlds deserve dedicated, high-quality journalism that speaks directly to their expertise and their challenges. Safety News Canada is built for them.”
Humber said the launch reflects both a gap in the market and a responsibility to serve a community whose work has life-and-death stakes. “OHS professionals carry an enormous weight. The decisions they make, the programs they build, the cultures they help create — those things keep people safe and bring them home at the end of the day. That deserves serious, dedicated coverage.”
Safety News Canada will follow the same editorial standards and Canadian Press style guidelines that have guided HR News Canada and HR Law Canada since North Wall Media’s founding in 2022. The publication will feature breaking news, in-depth features, legal analysis, and expert commentary.
“We’ve spent years building trust with Canada’s HR and employment law communities,” said Humber. “We bring that same commitment to accuracy, fairness and depth to the OHS world. Safety News Canada isn’t an afterthought — it’s the missing piece we’ve been working toward.”
North Wall Media also operates HR Talks, a series of live and virtual events including Mental Health Talks and Workplace Law Talks, serving Canada’s broader workplace professional community.
