Employers of Young Workers: Utilities Safety ft. FortisBC #WhatIKnowNow | WorkSafeBC

FortisBC is creating a space for young workers to have conversations about safety at work.

In this video, Jody Drope of FortisBC talks about how positive and meaningful two-way communication is key when it comes to creating safer working environments. The team at FortisBC recognizes that the commitment to safety starts at the top. That’s why senior members have created an environment that supports young and inexperienced workers to speak up and ask questions about health and safety in the workplace.

Work can be intimidating for young workers, especially if they’re new to the job or don’t have a lot of experience in their industry. That’s why talking about safety with young workers is so important. As an employer, it’s your responsibility to make health and safety a priority.

Did you know that on average 14 young workers in British Columbia are seriously injured in the workplace every week? This is why it’s so important to encourage young workers to speak up about safety in the workplace and understand the role they play in safety to reduce workplace injury.
