Young Workers
Workers under 25 are at higher risk of injury at work than any other age group of worker.
School Programs
We strongly encourage schools to take advantage of our young worker safety courses. We have courses for a variety of age ranges. They fit well with career and personal planning programs, or with any life, work or safety-related discussion. Since young workers are at high risk of injury at work, we want them to learn about their rights and responsibilities as early as possible.
We offer work site safety courses in Yukon schools and after-school courses for young workers. To find out more, email worksafe@gov.yk.ca.
