As Parents, You CAN Do Something
Your number-one priority is to keep your children safe and healthy - and that concern doesn't stop at your doorway or their schools... it extends to their places of employment.
But do you actually know how safe your kid is at work?
Sadly, the statistics for young workers are not encouraging. Studies have shown that young people are twice as likely to be injured on the job as adults. This difference can be attributed to several factors, including:
- Lack of supervision
- Lack of training
- Lack of proper personal protective equipment
- Unsafe working conditions
Check out our comprehensive list of websites offering information about workplace safety and health.
Because no person is an island, we recognize you as an involved member of your community - so we also offer Community Presentations - to your club, cultural group or community organization.
For more information about community presentations, contact Nina@mysafework.com.
Although learning starts at home, your kid can really benefit from the first-hand experience of our speakers, Rob Ellis and Jessica Disabatino, who lost their son/brother in a workplace accident. They come to elementary schools, high schools and universities and colleges to give presentations about workplace safety.
For more information about school presentations, contact Nina@mysafework.com.
It's always good to hear from others who have had a positive experience, and hundreds of educators and corporate executives and workers - most of them parents, too - sing the praises of the MySafeWork presentations.
