The Saskatchewan Safety Council, in partnership with WorkSafe Saskatchewan, is conducting an online Saskatchewan Employee Fatigue and Lifestyle Study to better understand how fatigue affects workplaces across different industries. This anonymous 5–10 minute survey aims to gather broad participation so industries can be accurately represented and benchmarked. Results will help strengthen knowledge around fatigue and injury prevention, and the survey can also be a useful discussion starter for safety or tailgate meetings. Workers are encouraged to participate before the December 15, 2025 deadline, with findings to be shared in February 2026. Learn more and access the survey here.

The next NKE will take place in November, 2026. Registration will open in February/March 2026.

Associate members wishing to pursue the CPHR designation and write the NKE must be NKE Ready. Being NKE Ready means associate members have met the coursework requirement and received approval from CPHR Saskatchewan prior to registering for the NKE.

For those requesting transcripts, if the name on your transcripts or reports is different than your current name, please update the "maiden name" in your member profile.

NKE Prep Courses
NKE prep courses are available to writers with the theoretical knowledge and test-taking strategies needed to write the NKE effectively. These are not mandatory.
