HR Proactive’s Young Workers Awareness Program is an easy tool to help employers meet their obligation under health & safety legislation to train young workers.

Employers are required to provide information, instruction and supervision for all workers, including new and young workers, on how to protect their health and safety in the workplace. This includes information about safe work policies, and measures and procedures specific to the work the worker will perform in the workplace. In particular, it is recommended employers provide information and instruction to new and young workers in late spring, a common time of year for young people to enter the workforce.
