Rights awareness - very limited understanding

Training that is available is not always tracked

Most students don’t know what they don’t know

What we’ve learned…

Page 20: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

High percentage of students working in “dangerous” sectors with NO training

WHMIS most common safety instruction

Page 21: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Write in comments about unsafe conditions…Q. Was there ever a time when you felt unsafe at work? Explain..

“All the time. I work alone and we’re not trained

for an emergency / robbery.”

What we’re doing at PVEC…

School -wide campaign

to see that every student receives

Passport to Safety

Page 34: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

PVEC administration will

make this or an equivalent resource

a mandatory part of a

compulsory Grade 10 course

(Communications Technology)

in subsequent years

Page 35: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Convene a forum of local employers - for input and

to make suggestions

Lobby employers to give preferred hiring status to students with Passport to Safety training or

equivalent when hiring

Future plans at PVEC…

Page 36: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Findings from student “focus group”

Page 37: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

The Employers…

1 major grocery chain1 theatre chain2 fast food restaurant2 gas stations1 manufacturing facility (airplane parts)1 major department store1 small bakery1 large drugstore chain1 restaurant1 small clothing retailer

Page 38: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Productivity and Safety…(not always a good match)

Speed and crowded workspace identifiedas problematic

Page 39: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Workplace design and safety

Several recognized workspace design asproblematic

(stairs, high shelves, crowded work area)

Page 40: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Student observations about employer motivation to provide training

Customer safety focus or commonperception of industry as dangerous =

more overall safety focus

Page 41: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Fire Safety

Only gas station and theatre workers could identify fire procedures

Page 42: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Page 44: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Hazard Identification and Training

Most students could identifymajor hazards but felt

insufficiently trained to deal with these hazards

(or aspects of these hazards)

Page 45: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Rights and Procedures

None could identify rights; one knew where to report to re: safety concerns

Page 46: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Use of PPE

All who used it believed it was “recommended”but not required

Page 47: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Worker Satisfaction and Safety

No apparent correlation betweenamount of safety training and

perception of safe work environment

Page 48: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

Observations, Recommendations, Conclusions

• Students should document safety information while speaking with employer if this is not provided in writing by employer

• Employers should be encouraged to provide written information whenever possible

• Students do not see “job specific” training as safety training - safety training should be isolated from other training or CLEARLY brought to young worker’s attention

Page 49: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

• Students view safety as “common sense” - some view training as patronizing

• Looking at legal frameworks early in training may make students more receptive to other safety messages (OHS)

Observations, cont.

Page 50: A SURVEY  OF  PARK VIEW EDUCATION CENTRE STUDENTS WHO WORK IN PART TIME JOBS

• Establishing HABITUAL safety practices will help protect young workers

• CLEARLY explain to students how distractions such as productivity demands affect safety

Observations, cont.
