MAY 2026 · PUBLISHED PILOT STORY
In its published story, Shannex described a workplace safety pilot bringing together Vergo, WCB Nova Scotia and Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters. Shannex reported submitting dozens of tasks for assessment from its facilities, including servery, laundry, housekeeping, maintenance and clinical activities.
The initiative used short recordings of everyday work to examine movement and posture, giving participating teams a clearer starting point for improving job design and finding safer ways of working.

WORKPLACE INJURY PREVENTION
WCB Nova Scotia's Protect More Strategic Plan 2024–2030 places workplace injury prevention among its three pillars. The province's Safer Workplaces Together framework puts that priority into action.
Under its musculoskeletal injury prevention action plan, the framework specifically identifies sharing findings from a Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME)-driven initiative using AI-powered ergonomic analysis (page 10). CME Nova Scotia carried out its AI workplace-analysis initiative in collaboration with Vergo.
The framework also calls for an MSI Community of Practice where employers and safety associations can share lessons and practical approaches to physical risk factors (page 9). CME Nova Scotia and Vergo have also helped host Community of Practice sessions as part of their own industry engagement.
