Workers between 15 and 24 (young workers) have the highest risk of getting hurt at work – up to twice that of other workers. By combining industry and regulatory requirements, CTS safety training and the emerging workforce, Safety in Schools will reduce and eliminate workplace injuries and fatalities of young workers across Alberta.

OUR STORY

REDUCING INJURIES AND FATALITIES Safety in Schools Foundation of Canada is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing worksite injuries and fatalities among young workers by providing students with interactive, industry recognized online safety training through Alberta high schools. ONLINE DELIVERY Online delivery allows students to work at their own pace and the combination of visual, audio and written content allows them to absorb the information in the manner that works best for them. CLASSROOM USE While students are engaged through online, interactive courses, teachers are provided with a no cost method of lesson delivery that aligns with high school curriculum outcomes for HCS3000, HCS3010 and AGR3000, as well as several learning outcomes for various courses within the CTS stream.

The Safety in Schools program is important to young workers because the employers would like to know that the 16 year olds actually know what they’re

• doing. The courses give you specialized knowledge for specific jobs while also

giving you general knowledge that applies everywhere. [It] is easier than you think, and you learn more than you think. – T.N. – Student, Registered Apprenticeship Program, Calgary

Over four years of operation, Safety in Schools has grown from a presence in one school with seven students to more than 200 schools with over 70,000 course enrollments, adding new schools and new students regularly. So far in the 2015-2016 school year alone students have mastered more than 7,400 courses. We have schools signed up in over 70% of the Public and Catholic school districts in Alberta and are currently working with representatives of several boards to implement our program district-wide and to increase our course offerings to home-schooled students in Alberta. Students have mastered over 39,000 courses to date.

CONTENT CREATION In February 2016 we launched a new course titled, Life Lessons—Learning the Hard Way. Working together with people directly impacted by workplace incidents, this course aims to challenge the idea that “it can’t happen to me” by providing young workers with first-hand accounts from people no different than them who have been injured or had a loved one killed on the job. Students taking the Life Lessons – Learning the Hard Way course are challenged to consider the physical, emotional and financial impacts of workplace injuries and fatalities that go beyond the individual, and to put real names and faces to otherwise faceless statistics. We are also in the planning stages of developing two more custom Safety in Schools courses called That’s Got to Hurt! – Lessons from the Workplace and Heavy Machinery – It Always

• Wins. That’s Got to Hurt! will focus on incidents experienced and witnessed by Safety in

Schools students and shared with us through a series of contests. Heavy Machinery will draw upon real-life scenarios involving heavy machinery and the severity such incidents can have. CONTESTS In order to compile content for That’s Got to Hurt!, we are running a series of contests throughout the 2015-2016 school year and we encourage all students to participate. Teachers can help drive this initiative by using these contests as a tool to drive classroom dialogue, or as part of an in-class project. We are running three different types of contests:

SCHOOL TOURS As part of the Life Lessons initiative, we partnered up with motivational speaker, Candace Carnahan, who was severely injured at the age of 21 in a pulp mill incident, to speak to students about her own experience with a life-altering workplace injury and the impact that it had not just

• n her, but on her family, friends and coworkers.

Teaching young people the basics of workplace safety is vital, but it is equally important to drive safety messages home in ways that tap into the emotional part of their brains, and that they can relate to personally. Our speaking tours are one approach to doing so. Throughout 2014 and 2015, we visited schools in Calgary, Fort McMurray, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Red Deer and Medicine Hat. We are also engaged with the video participants from our Life Lessons course in an ongoing in- school engagement strategy.

The Safety in Schools program has aligned its safety courses with the Alberta Education curriculum in order to reach students in the Career and Technology Studies (CTS) stream. Safety in Schools also provides high school students not enrolled in the CTS program with the opportunity to advance their personal safety knowledge, build their resume, and work safely in a full or part- time position.

The following is how the Safety in Schools program aligns with the HCS-3000, HCS-3010 and AGR-3000 Curriculum from Alberta Education:

Thank you for creating the Safety in Schools program. As the mother of a 16-year-old who is already in the workforce, I feel it’s really important to teach our children some basics about safety in the workplace.
