Live Safe! Work Smart!

Information Scavenger Hunt

The Ministry of Labour website and young workers webpage provide easy to access, complete information on both employment standards and health and safety rights and responsibilities of workers all in one place! There's information on minimum wage, what to do if injured at work, vacation pay, time off, how to talk to the boss about safety issues, what laws apply to young workers, as well as links to other important safety resources.

This site will be of particular interest to career and guidance teachers, co-op/work experience and Canadian law teachers. The site provides all the information your students need to complete assignments on workplace issues. It will also be useful in co-op pre-placement preparation.
