Safety Preparation for Student Career Learning and Work Experiences

Safety Plan Development Session

Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning, SAFE Work Manitoba and Safe Workers of Tomorrow are working together to prepare Manitoba students for safe work experiences and assist school administrators with workplace safety and health roles and responsibilities. Preparation for safe work experiences and understanding worker rights and responsibilities are integral components of all students’ education and their safe introduction to the world of work.

A framework for Student Work Experience was developed to support safety planning for student work experiences/placement. It outlines items to be considered when preparing a safety plan for school division work experience opportunities.
