On November 5, 2025, grade 9 students from across Ontario will visit workplaces as part of the national Take Our Kids to Work Day initiative. This career exploration event is a formative experience, helping shape a young workers vision for their future. For organizations hosting a student it’s a powerful opportunity to inspire the next generation of workers.
Knowing new and young workers are at an increased risk of injury, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services is encouraging workplaces to include health and safety information in their Take Our Kids to Work Day agenda and wants to make it easy.
On November 5, WSPS is offering a free virtual Health & Safety Awareness Presentations (HSAP). Led by WSPS health and safety experts, an English session will run at 10 am EST; a French session at 1 pm EST.
Targeted to young workers, HSAP helps foster a safety-conscious mindset that will serve them well as they walk your facility – and enter the workforce in years to come.
Appropriate for all industries, HSAP uses games, videos and group discussions to teach your young guests:
- common workplace hazards;
- how to deal with health & safety issues at work;
- their worker rights & responsibilities; and
- the rights & responsibilities of their employers.
All that is needed is an internet connection and a monitor; we’re handling the rest.
Registration is open.
