Introduction to Young Worker Safety

We like to think we’re invincible.  But the truth is, young workers are injured in the workplace each and every day.  The one common thing about these injuries is that they are preventable.  Workers, employers, parents, and educators have a role to play in working safe. 


“Introduction to Young Worker Safety” introduces the basic concepts of workplace safety in an engaging and interactive manner.  The interactive features include video, audio, photo galleries, quizzes, slideshows, word puzzles, and more.   Created by youth for youth, this book should be a valuable resource for workers everywhere.


The book was created by the students and staff of St. Kevin’s High School, Goulds, NL Canada. It is the first in a series of digital textbooks relating to workplace safety and youth.  This project was made possible with the generous support of the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission Youth Safety Funding Initiative, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
