1. Why are there more workplace injuries among those aged 16 to 25?
2. By law, workplace safety is the responsibility of the employer and employee. Why have nearly all provinces created courses in occupational health and safety as part of the high school curriculum? Should these be mandatory courses or electives?
3. Check the website of the Industrial Accident Prevention Association (www.iapa.ca), which has excellent information on occupational health and safety training programs. Design a training program that an employer could provide to young workers.
