With school ending and a lot of young people (aged 15-24) starting summer jobs or entering the workforce, the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board<\/a> says it is time to remind them about safe work practices. \u00a0 The WSIB\u2019s\u00a0#PracticeSafeWork campaign<\/a> uses funny ads to remind young people about the importance of workplace safety and let them know the agency is there to help. The digital campaign, aimed at young people aged 15-24, runs from June 15 to Aug 30. Videos are running on social media channels like Instagram and Snapchat, YouTube, on connected TV sites like Amazon\u2019s Prime video, digital audio channels like Sirius XM and on cinema screens across the province. Along with the videos, the campaign website\u00a0practicesafework.ca<\/a>\u00a0is a helpful resource for young people (and their parents) to help answer questions they might, and should have, about workplace safety, such as:<\/p>\n \u202f<\/em>\u201cEvery year, we do our best to remind young people that\u00a0workplace injuries can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Our videos are funny but deliver a serious message: unsafe work practices can get you injured or killed,\u201d\u202fsaid Jeff Lang, WSIB president and CEO.\u202f<\/em><\/p>\n The WSIB goal is to ensure young people don\u2019t become one of the statistics. But if they do become hurt or sick because of work, the agency can provide wage replacement, pay medical bills and help them get safely back to work when the time\u2019s right.<\/p>\n Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n The website also navigates to\u00a0Safety Check<\/a>, a WSIB tool that anyone can use to check out the safety record of an employer. It shows the number of injuries a business has in a year, the leading types of injuries for that\u00a0workplace\u00a0and much more.<\/p>\n The videos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
