His commitment to continuous improvement has supported safer workplaces, stronger organizational performance, and meaningful return to work programs, reinforcing WorkSafeNB’s role as a leader in health and safety.
Among the achievements under his tenure:
“This recognition is truly about the dedicated people I work with everyday who make me a better leader,” said Petersen. “Thank you to my colleagues and our partners across the province working to make New Brunswick the safest place to work.”
