Newfoundland Workers Health and Safety launches a trivia game show!
This highly successful game show is a contest designed to educate young workers about their rights and responsibilities when it comes to workplace safety. The goal is to empower youth to take action when unsafe conditions exist.
Every day in Newfoundland and Labrador, two young workers aged 15-24 are injured on the job. The Commission's goal is to empower workers, especially youth, to take action, to help foster a culture of safety throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, where workplace accidents are unacceptable. SAFE Work NL's Who Wants to Save a Life? is one of the Commission's strategies for reaching the province's high school students with the occupational health and safety message.
Four school districts, involving 13 schools, will compete for over $15,000 in scholarships and prizes throughout the 2010 academic year. SAFE Work NL's Who Wants to Safe a Life? is a fast-paced and energized game which will heighten your awareness of occupational health and safety.
There's lots of chances to get in on some really cool audience giveaways and admission to the show is FREE!
