WCB News | June Newsletter 

Young workers account for nearly one in five workplace injury claims we receive during the summer months in Nova Scotia. As more young workers enter the workforce this summer, employers can help prevent injuries by making safety part of onboarding from day one. Clear training, regular supervision, and open communication help young workers build confidence and speak up when something feels unsafe.

Employers, supervisors, and safety leaders all play a role in creating supportive workplaces where young workers are prepared to work safely.
