SAFE Manitoba - Back to Basics - A Guide to Back Injury Prevention & Recovery

Young workers represent a significant part of the modern Manitoba workforce. Many of these young people are just starting out in their careers, often beginning their first jobs in entry-level positions that involve a great deal of physical labour.

The Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba and Manitoba Public Insurance developed “An Average Day” as a means of raising awareness about safety issues relating specifically to young workers. The goal is to have young people start thinking about all aspects of workplace safety, including:

  • What to ask a potential employer regarding safety and training;
  • Having a safe commute to and from work;
  • Taking basic steps to improve safety on a daily basis; and
  • Rights and responsibilities of young workers, employers and supervisors
