Workers Health and Safety Centre (WHSC) is once again offering cash scholarships to graduating high school students heading for post-secondary education.

Scholarship Contest Rules  

Scholarship Application 2023  

The scholarship contest is open to Ontario high school students entering full-time or part-time studies at a publicly funded Ontario post-secondary institution.
  

Training Key to Workplace Prevention  

Many are calling on employers and public health to better protect vulnerable workers and communities now and in a post-pandemic world.
 
A critical step, says Mudge, is for “Employers to act upon their significant obligations to protect workers, including the provision of effective training so workers, their representatives and other workplace parties are better prepared to participate in workplace prevention efforts in a meaningful way. As we have seen throughout the pandemic and even prior without access to quality training and information, many fall victim to information passing as training and often misinformation at that.”
