Students from Melfort learn first-hand the importance of safety at work
With a quarter of workplace injuries affecting youth and young adults in Saskatchewan, one group wants to raise awareness on preventing these damaging injuries.
The Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association (SCSA) held an event in Melfort on Wednesday to spread awareness about preventable injuries while raising funds for a local high school.
A presentation was held outside of the new Prairie North Co-op in Melfort which allowed students from Melfort & Unit Comprehensive Collegiate (MUCC) and residents the chance to see demonstrations on how to prevent workplace injuries.
President of the SCSA Collin Pullar told northeastNOW that these demonstrations are vital to protecting the community.
