LearnSafe brings worker and public safety information to high schools.
Enhancing safety awareness for secondary school students in B.C. is an essential component of getting youth ready for employment and keeping them safe while in the work place.
LearnSafe Talks bring an industry perspective to the classroom. During a one-hour presentation, industry professionals will:
- Share real-life experiences and learnings from the job site
- Discuss the importance of a worker’s right to know, right to participate, right to refuse and right to no discrimination
- Conduct activities that are designed to increase knowing and awareness of workplace safety
- Demonstrate the various levels of personal protective equipment required for various occupations
- Share links to valuable resources, provide materials and engage students in a Q & A session
Students will leave the presentation with an understanding of the importance of safety training and awareness on the job site, and why safety is a critical element in achieving employment.
