Carman Collegiate is pleased to welcome back the Safe Workers of Tomorrow organization. All grade 11 students will take part in the SWoT training that will take place for half of the class on Wednesday, October 14 and the other half on Thursday, October 15. During the training, students will be involved in a morning classroom session discussing employee rights, and then in the afternoon our students will travel to a business in town and conduct a safety audit of that business. They then return to the school and discuss their findings.
The highest rate of injuries in our workforce involve employees from the ages of 16 to 24. The SWoT training is meant to make employees aware of their rights, be able to better recognize dangers and the consequences that can result from dangerous work, and therefore keep our youth safer.
The SWoT will also be presenting to our grade 9 students on Thursday morning. This is a lead up to the Take Your Kids to Work that will be taking place on Wednesday, November 4. Grade 9 parents should have received information regarding this day.
