🛠 Know your rights:

• The right to know about workplace hazards.

• The right to participate in keeping the workplace safe.

• The right to refuse unsafe work.

👷‍♂️ Tips to stay safe:

• Ask questions if you’re unsure about safety procedures.

• Pay attention to training—it can save your life.

• Always wear your protective gear.

• Stay aware of your surroundings.

• Ask for help if a task feels unsafe or overwhelming.

💬 Who can you talk to?
Your supervisor, a Health & Safety Representative (HSR), or a trusted adult like a teacher, family member, or experienced coworker.
