Workplace Safety Education for Youth in NS: Investigating Current State & Best Practices

Young workers face an increased likelihood of injury or death on the job compared to more experienced workers. Safety training is considered a key element to help reduces these numbers, and improve the safety of young workers. Therefore, the goal of this project is to better understand the current state of work safety training for young workers in Nova Scotia, by developing an overview of the current training available as well as areas of unmet need. The ultimate goal is to create training templates to support employers of young workers.
