As much as we all don’t want to admit it, summer is slowly coming to a close. This means colder weather, fewer beach days, and back to school for the youth in our communities. With the return to school on the horizon, we want to remind teachers, students, and families of our partnership with Safety In Schools.

Easy to use and dependable, Safety In Schools offers a free learning platform, giving students the opportunity to learn the basic principles of workplace safety! With many youth joining the workforce for the first time while in high school, Safety In Schools is an invaluable resource to ensure that they have the knowledge and ability to keep themselves safe and advocate for their safety when they walk into their workplace.

Safety In Schools offers a variety of courses aligned with Saskatchewan’s curriculum, including:

The provincial and federal governments have many rules that must be followed in the workplace before you start working, while you are on the job and when you leave your employer. You will find answers to questions about your employment responsibilities and entitlements on the job, including regulations for employment standards such as wages, termination and vacation pay, legislation on human rights and workplace health and safety, and privacy information.

This course is for workers who want to know more about employment rules in the workplace. It discusses legislation covering workers, their rights and responsibilities, and leaving the job temporarily or permanently.
