WorkSafeNB is pleased to announce its annual Focus on Safety video competition for youth is bacDid you know that young people are three to four times more likely to face job-related injuries in their first six months of employment compared to the average Canadian worker? Inexperience, unfamiliarity with health and safety laws, and a lack of confidence to ask questions contribute to their vulnerability.
That’s why, WorkSafeNB, in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, is hosting the “Focus on Safety” youth video contest. We’re challenging high school students like you to create a two-minute original video emphasizing the importance of working safely.
New Brunswick Prizes:
1st place: $1,000 + $1,000 for school
2nd place: $750 + $750 for school
3rd place: $500 + $500 for school
