New Website for Parents of Young Workers
Tuesday, June 28, 2016
Workplace Safety and Prevention Services (WSPS) and the Ontario Ministry of Labour have launched the first website in Ontario specifically to help parents of young workers become more involved in their workplace safety.
Bring Safety Home provides a wide variety of resources such as:
- Information on workers’ rights
- Video perspectives on young workers’ safety from business owners, therapists, health and safety experts, and young workers themselves
- Guidelines on how parents can talk to their adult children about safety in the workplace.
Currently, Bring Safety Home is focused on the service, manufacturing and agricultural sectors, but it will expand throughout the year. If you are concerned for the safety of your child in their workplace, you can find resources to better communicate with them about it.
You can also visit Settlement.Org’s My Rights at Work section for more information about the topic.
