High school students prepared for workplace safety
High school students at Hudson Bay Community School picked up some important workplace safety tips during the first annual Cade Sprackman Safety Day on Tuesday.
The youngsters were introduced to fire extinguish training on a day that highlighted the significance of basic safety and commemorated Cade Sprackman, a young man who died over two years ago in a tragic accident at a tire recycling facility.
“Knowledge is probably our best asset,” Ryan Durand, an instructor with the Saskatchewan Safety Council, told northeastNOW. “The more young people can know, the better off they’ll be in those environments.”
Durand said the instruction was aimed not only at building skills for when young people find themselves in the workplace, but at building their confidence as well.
