Workers are at risk, especially our youth. We are convinced that the only way to ensure that today's youth will have an opportunity to be protected is mandatory training in health and safety legislation as well as mandated training in compensation rules for workers injured on the job. For more information on Bill 9 please travel to this link . We are concerned that the training in health and safety as well as compensation be not immersed in other programs but become a separate, distinct program. It is only with a distinct program that we believe we will be able to see a positive move forward in the protection of today's youth.
Lives are to precious to loose.
Reporting Workplace Accidents and Exposures Many workers are somewhat reluctant to report what they believe to be minor accidents and or exposures. Not only do the rules require you to report your accidents and exposures, but we have seen many families suffer needlessly because the workers did not report their accidents. The price cannot only be your physical health but also your families financial health. The Thunder Bay and District Injured Workers' Support Group mission is to assist, support and educate injured workers' and other community partners through a broad range of services, educational programs and re-employment initiatives.
