Be
a survivor
There are more than a quarter million young workers on the job in British Columbia. Young workers share one thing in common — they are at high risk of getting injured at work.
In fact, every working day in B.C. 46 young workers are injured on the job. Every week, three young workers are seriously injured in work-related accidents. In 2007, six young workers died on the job in B.C.
Be a Survivor (PDF 10.8mb) is a magazine created for young workers entering the workforce. It warns young workers of the potential dangers they may face on the job and offers information on how they can protect themselves and stay safe.
The Young Worker Centre has a wide range of resources for young workers, employers, parents, educators and other interested parties to help young people and their employers create safe workplaces.
