Safety presentations
Speakers are available to share health and safety messages for young workers at your school, parent advisory council (PAC), or youth organization. Presentations to young workers help raise awareness about the lasting impact of workplace injuries, as well as educate students about their workplace health and safety rights.
Our prevention officers are available to talk to students in grades 10, 11, and 12 about health and safety in the workplace. Officers can share their extensive knowledge and experience with your group, with the goal of helping reduce the number of young people injured at work.
