Canadian workers bring safety message to classrooms
Thousands of Canadian high schoolers are learning about safety in the classroom – thanks to a program founded by a grieving father.
Rob Ellis formed an organization called My Safe Work after his 18-year-old son David was killed on his second day on the job at an industrial bakery. David’s death was not, unfortunately, an isolated incident; in Canada, young workers are three times more likely to be injured or killed in a workplace accident than their more experienced counterparts.
