Did you know? Young and new workers are the most at risk for injury on the job. Each year in Saskatchewan, approximately 3,200 youth under the age of 25 are injured on the job, and an average of two die from a workplace incident. (Source: WCB 2021 Annual Report – Page 47) Young and new workers make up a large part of our workforce, particularly in the service and hospitality industries. They also have a higher rate of injury – especially during the first six months of a job. (Source: CCOHS – The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety)
That is why it is SO important to receive workplace health and safety education before stepping foot into the workplace. This year we plan to connect with schools, organizations, and industry members to help us reach and educate over 50,000 youth across Saskatchewan about workplace health and safety. But we need your help to achieve this goal! Be a safety leader and participate in Youth Safety Education week from September 10th – 15th!
What is Youth Safety Education Day?
Youth Safety Education Day (YSED) is recognized annually on September 10th. The day’s purpose is to provide meaningful safety education, leadership, and awareness to youth (ages 14-24) across Saskatchewan and beyond about the importance of physical and mental health and safety at work. Gaining this valuable information before future workers take their first step into the workplace or while employed in their first jobs is a KEY step in their injury prevention.
As an employer or educator, you have a unique opportunity to influence our future workers positively. Be a part of creating tomorrow’s healthy and safe workplaces!
