Summer is here and that means that students are
looking for work. Many students will be working in industries where Health and Safety Training
is required.
Many jobs in
construction, cleaning, manufacturing, etc., require that workers have
Health and Safety training. Employers, parents, and
young workers should be prepared and have the
necessary training to work in any of these
industries. Training may include, but is not limited
to:
WHMIS: Workplace
Hazardous Materials Information System
TDG: Transportation of Dangerous Goods
CSA: Confined Spaces Awareness
FP: Fall Protection
Summer students need
to remember their 3 basic rights while being
employed:
1. The right to know
about hazardous materials and practices
2. The right to refuse
work they believe is dangerous, and
3. The right to
participate in decisions affecting their health and
safety.
Be safe, give your
summer workers, and all workers, the proper training
to ensure their safety at all times.
Have a safe summer! |
